In response to mrjames
How about what appears to be the fact that Bruner might have been injured going into this weekend.
If you look at predictions going into the season:
1. Harvard (134) - assumed Aiken and Towns playing;
2. Penn (115) - assumed Wang and Betley were healthy, and possibly Charles, Williams, Mujakowski
3. Yale (94) - Yale was healthy until this weekend (Bruner)
4. Princeton (88) - Schweiger is back, Barnes
Gladson, & Kyle aren't
5. Brown (62) - Gainey has returned, Mawanda-Kalema wasn't expectd to
6. Columbia (51) - no Tape and no Stefanini yet, Ellis missing, Turner returned
7. Cornell (33) - expected to be missing Gear and Harshany
8. Dartmouth (33) - expected to be without Barry, Krystowiak still not returned
Essentially, Harvard took a major hit, losing possibly the best two players in the league. Penn did not expect to be without Want or Betley. Bruner is a big problem for Yale, and possibly explains Friday night's loss. Princeton improved dramatically once Schwieger returned. Brown and Cornell are healthy, and Columbia is decimated while Dartmouth misses Barry greatly. Gainey means a lot to Brown's defense, thus their upward trajectory. So, Harvard, Penn & Yale have dropped closer to Princeton and Brown, while Brown has improved with Gainey. Columbia is no longer a contender and dropped to languishing with Dartmouth and Cornell.
I see consistency in analysis, but changes in personnel.
