Crap. New Mexico sucked more than Harvard tonight.

Damn would not be surprised to see Harvard make the Sweet 16. Harvard is going to be a force next year with Curry and Casey coming back from the cheating scandal and top 100 recruit Edosomwan coming in. Cornell's Sweet 16 run is a distance memory at this point

?

Not to me.

That's only going to happen once every 40 years or so.  Far as I'm concerned, it becomes old news sometime around 2050.

I hope Arizona beats them by 50.

I hope Arizona beats them by 50.

Meh, I'm OK with them playing well.  It helps the conference overall, and thus us.  Having the Ivy get blown out makes prospects doubt the quality of play in the league.

Rising tide and all that.

I can't root for Amaker even if I could bring myself to pull for Harvard in this type of situation. I was disappointed the committee didn't match Harvard with Michigan in the first round.

I for one am really happy Harvard won...

My order of cheering:

Cornell
Ivy's not Harvard
ECAC teams (Hockey only)
Harvard
Other non-merit-scholarship schools
Closest school to my home in Boston
Special bottom exception for schools with no shame due to scandals or lack of graduation requirements (Duke, Kentucky, Notre Dame)

That's fair; Harvard playing well probably helps the conference.

Yeah it helps the league that they won a game but I hope they dont get to the Sweet 16 so we keep that distinciton to ourselves. The only problem is if Amaker sticks around, if the other Ivies dont start adapting Harvard has the potential to really dominate the league. It is funny to hear the Penn/Princeton fans whine about this after they did that for the whole duration of the league

I was channel surfing last night so I didn't watch the Harvard - New Mexico game in its entirety. However, I heard waaaay too many times about how Harvard "relaxed" its admission standards to get better basketball players. Made me want to throw-up. I hope Arizona beats them by 60.

If Harvard is indeed skewing its AI numbers to benefit men's basketball, it will be interesting to see which other teams there take the hit. You're going to have to have a sparkling academic record to be on the sailing team.

I thought each team (or at least each sport, M + W) had to conform to the AI.  So, for instance, you couldn't field a wrestling team of Joe Rockheads and balance it with giving everybody on the chess team an épée.

Worked for Brown hockey in the early 90's.  1-21-0 in 1989, 13-7-2 by 1993.

Of course, once you admit them, you have to somehow keep them eligible.
