That or we're one to one and a half games back with 8/9 to play...

Don't overlook the fact that Princeton has to face Penn on tuesday before coming to ithaca friday. That's not exactly a schedule I envy.

I went to the Cornell-Yale hoops game tonight to check out our first-place Big Red, and they looked awful. Barnes, the Ivy's top scorer, kept dribbling too much and turning the ball over. Toppert, the league's second-leading scorer entering the weekend, only had three points. We trailed 38-22 at halftime, made a run to cut Yale's lead to 8 midway through the second half, and had a chance to cut the lead to 6. But we missed a shot, Yale scored and our comeback was over. Our defense in first half was horrible -- most of Yale's baskets came inside the paint and their big center scored on hook shots in the lane all night.
Even so, we'll take a 5-1 Ivy record after playing five straight road games. The true test comes next weekend against Penn and Princeton.

By the way, Yale pep band at hoops game is pathetic -- out of tune, etc.

Yale was able to keep up with UCONN.  In fact, IIRC, Yale was ahead at halftime.
