Title: Basketball 3/6
Post by: French Rage on March 06, 2009, 08:23:46 PM
No one's posting yet?

Columbia 44, Princeton 36, 6:00 2nd
Cornell 46, Penn 36, 12:55 2nd

How do Ivy tiebreakers work?  (Hopefully with a win that will be moot but I was curious.)

CU 83, Penn (sucks) 57 - final. Dancing again!!

Now irrelevant, but for the benefit of French Rage: Ivy basketball tiebreakers are all settled "on the court." Had Cornell and Princeton finished tied, they would have played off at a neutral site for the tournament bid, likely next Tuesday.

Ah, I figured as much (with the women's games last year) but didn't know if that only came after some basic tiebreakers.

For what little it's worth, PU is booked Tuesday with their dumb Ivy Finale game against Penn (can we officially get rid of that now?).

For what even littler it's worth, the game had already been booked for next Thursday at Columbia (http://ivyleaguesports.com/article.asp?intID=7029), with a second game on Saturday if there was a three-way tie.

No we should keep it so that they can embarrass themselves.

Cornell closes the regular season with a revenge win over Princeton. Columbia, their work done on Friday night ;-) , sees Penn hit a 35-footer at the buzzer to lose to Penn.

Princeton plays Penn on Tuesday to finish in a tie for second with Yale. Hee Hee!
