Yale vs Princeton should be a good matchup. Let's go Yale!

Does Cornell get in even if they don't win the Ivy Tournament? What about Princeton and Yale?

I think the Big Red get in with at least a win over Penn.

One interesting if flawed way to look at it is to check the oft-maligned NCAA RPI as opposed to the voted rankings.

The bean counters have all four in the top thirteen, with only five other at-large candidates rated higher. That would put ALL FOUR into the tourney with three as at-larges. So it’s cretainly defensible.

Ain’t gonna happen, of course.

What woukd you say if a team needed to beat an opponent to get into the league tournament with a chance to get to the NCAAs if they defeated their heavily favored opponent by 5 goals notwithstanding disappponting losses during the season, then was leading by 6 or 7 late in the game, but the coach never told the players about the 5 goal requirement and the team surrendered a few garbage goals to eventually win by 3 and miss the tournament?

I would say that describes the UNC coach yesterday.

What?! That's coaching malpractice.

Reminds me of the Harvard-Princeton game last year when the Tigers needed to beat the Crimson by four to make the Ivy tournament. Princeton I recall kept their foot on the pedal the entire game knowing that winning by three was equivalent to a loss.

Or something like that. I'm sure that I've got the details wrong, but Princeton was focused on covering the spread, if you know what I mean.
