We beat Brown not Yale, it was a game of runs and we punched back harder at the end, good to see this team finally close out a game in the final minutes strong, lets get a win tomorrow and end this season of hell on a 3 game win streak

Brown didnt score a single point the last 6:54 of the game we were down by 4 at the time

PU @ Harvard showdown for the league is tomorrow, game will be on espn3.com

If Harvard wins they only clinch a tie.  Penn and Princeton play next Tuesday.  If Princeton loses to Harvard and beats Penn then Harvard and Princeton play at a neutral location for the autobid.

[phillysportsfan]

Yeah sorry I just meant its a big game that could decide the league winner because if PU wins they are in

Harvard beat Princeton 78-67 for a share of their first Ivy League title ever.  If it were 2012 I would think the apocalypse is indeed upon us.

Yeah Harvard fans are really testing the basketball gods by storming the court without fully clinching yet, the playoff should be a good game, I wish it was here so we could boo both of them

Also we had a solid win 68-55 over Yale without Peck who had to attend a family funeral, great to end the season on a 3 game winning streak, cant wait till next year with the team playing better and some solid recruits coming in, although Harvard it is really Harvard's league to lose

The live Twitter results that show up in Google are pretty funny.  Most seem to think they won the title outright.  Some think they won the Ivy tournament.  Only one acknowledgment that they await the outcome of Tuesday's game.

[phillysportsfan]

Yeah the league really confuses everyone by not having a tournament, hopefully the playoff game will get on ESPN/2

Funny to see the hockey team there actively heckling Greg Mangano the whole game and Mangano yelling back at them, Mangano is a good player but a real headcase

But they did clinch at least a share, and would they storm the court if PU loses Tuesday? And if PU wins they have a share of the title, their first ever. I think it was appropriate to storm the court. Even if they lose a playoff, they still have the title.

I don't think anyone thinks like this in basketball. If you don't go to the tournament, who cares? It is different in hockey if for no other reason than that the tournament is so much lower profile.

Yeah it is sorta ok since they have never even been co-champs and wouldnt have the chance if PU lost on Tuesday. Plus just another opportunity to pick on Harvard and the expert on court storming ruled it as a violation:

I ain't down wit this one. Didn't clinch anything. RT @TheHoopsReport: Harvard fans rushed the court.

Pretty funny were this tweeted by a Harvard student from, say, Grosse Point.

(Sorry. If you have to explain the joke, it flopped.) I picked at random one of America's wealthiest areas. It could have been Weston / Wellesley, Mass; hester County outside Philly;  or Cherry Creek, Colorado (photo) - a place where kids grow up with clenched teeth, some matriculate to Harvard, and then decide to wear baggy jeans and pick up the urban patois to sound authentic. Like the tweet (ain't down wit this one). Eamon McEneaney '77 (RIP 9/11) did a devastating spoof of short white kids from Long Island who thought they were Dr. J (Julius Erving).

When to Storm:

Your team breaks a long losing streak against a particularly difficult opponent.

How about: A long losing streak of never winning a championship, and

Not OK:

The Ivy League? I don't think so. (We've softened our stance on this somewhat. Clinching an Ivy championship is sufficient grounds.)
