i dont see much difference between any of the Ivy teams.

The closeness of the games reflects the strength of the league in all 8 teams.  The game tonight will turn on how well Julian can defend Miya Oni and at the same time stay out of foul trouble.

Back and forth game but Yale hit 17 free throws in a row at one point and killed us on the boards. 98-92 Yale. The team shot well and defended well late but the refs made a couple of dubious calls on loose balls to undermine the effort.

As everyone is saying, we could win or lose any game in this league. I don't ever remember that being the case.

the size advantage Yale has is just too dominant.. Still Cornell had a couple shots late if they get those couple calls

too bad last night Yale missed all those FTs

 2 game lead on penn/brown with 6 to go..

[mountainred]

It's a brutal stretch -- 2 games with first place Yale sandwiching the historically difficult Penn/Princeton road trip.  Just one of those will be huge because the win over Harvard will help with tie-breakers.

[ugarte]

Turned it on after a disappointing hockey game, saw us down by around 10 with under a minute left on the road, turned it off. Lost 68-59 on the road.

Still in 4th with a one game lead on Brown.

[upprdeck]

they were down somewhere around 20 middle of the 2nd.  had it down to 2 and had the ball multiple times to take the lead couldn't make a shot and then it slipped away late after it was 4 for a good chunk of time.

yeesh blown out by Penn. rough weekend.

yeesh blown out by Penn. rough weekend.

Led by 2 at the half but outscored 38 - 18 second half.

[rss77]

So many mental mistakes. Lost track of how many travels they had.

To get to playoffs Boeheim and others will have to start putting more points in the basket.  They are playing good defense which has kept them in games. The rest of the season teams will do what Penn did which was sagging off other players and double teaming Morgan.  Going forward I hope Earl can bring some point producers into the fold.

The first video in this link features the recruit who looks like the best hope on that front.  Jones missed his 8th and 9th grade years to an autoimmune problem, so maybe he slipped under the radar.

If the guys win at Brown, they'll have a decent path to the ILT so long as they also beat Dartmouth at home.  Penn would need to go 3-1 to force a tie (beating Harvard or Yale) and Brown would need to sweep the Penn/Princeton road trip to finish ahead of Cornell (since the Red would have the tie breaker).  Lose to Brown, and an awful lot would have to go right the last weekend.

[Al DeFlorio]

Brown ends first half with 12-2 run to lead 33-28.

60-42 so far Cornell came out flat after half-time. Looks like another away loss.

[Ken711]

Cornell loses to Brown 75-51.  Out-scored this weekend 116-163. With a 5 game losing streak this team is trending down at the wrong time.
