Wittman was huge in the wins over Penn and Princeton and leads the team in scoring but I think Dale is by far the most important player on the team- he is the only true point guard, runs the show beautifully, gets everyone involved, rebounds unbelievably well and can score when needed.

I think Cornell would be able to cope with losing Wittman better than losing Dale.

I think both should be on the All-Ivy first team along with John Baumann of Columbia and Brown's guard tandem of Mark McAndrew and Damon Huffman.

Cornell clinching a share of the Ivy title is in the top headline stories on the ESPN men's basketball front page.

A few observations from last night... The Foote ally oop was awesome.  There were at least 5 people taking video the whole game from the floor that I saw.  As someone here suspected, the Brown score was left out of the out-of-town scores all night until the CU game was ending and the score was final.  The announcer asked that if the title was clinched that fans should come down to the court but only when directed to do so for the safety of the opposing team and others on the court.

Making a statement, I suppose.

[jaybert]

6 of the best 25 players in the nation??  that sounds like a duke/UNC class right there.
