They beat Col
Princ beats Harv twice this weekend
yale beats Brown
They split with everyone so as long as none of those teams beat one of the top 3, Cornell wins the Tiebreaker as we beat Princeton
Cornell M Basketball still wins the tiebreaker over Football for most recruiting advancement past 5 years.

But which will happen sooner - Cornell Football winning an outright Ivy title, or Cornell Hockey winning the NCAA Title...and will either happen in our lifetime?

fball would have more of a chance if they had something to play for beyond an ivy title i suspect.

Unless there's a coaching change, I'd bet on hockey. I'm almost 80 and I'm optimistic that I'll be around to see it. I was at the War Memorial in Syracuse and at Lake Placid. Might have happened in 2020, but for COVID. I matriculated in 1960, and I'm still waiting for an outright Ivy football championship.

Coming down to the wire against Yale. Nursing a 7 point lead at the under 4 in the 2nd half.

Tried really hard in the last minute to blow that game. Great win though.

ugarte · February 26, 2022, 04:10:56 PM

Huge win. Great work. I can't believe that I don't think I can go to Columbia. I haven't missed this game in a long time but I don't think I'm going to be able to make it.

Anyone know what the tiebreaker situation is? Are we now "win and in"?

from what i can tell, we are 1-1 H2H. Against the top of the conference we are 2-4 and they are 0-5. Might be win and in.

upprdeck · February 26, 2022, 04:18:10 PM

we get in if we win or Harvard loses 1. we have 2 wins vs prin/yale and none of the other 3 can get to that. Harv could win both and beat us

Harvard loses to Princeton and are eliminated from Ivy Tourney contention.
