No one knows what "would have" happened if Princeton played Purdue or a #4 seed. Who would have predicted St. Peter's over Kentucky? All we know is:

1) Yale played Purdue and got destroyed.

2) Princeton is ranked 40 places ahead of Yale in NET rankings.

3) Yale went to the NCAAs because they (barely) won the second game of a back-to-back.

4) Every Ivy team lost big time players due to covid transfers.

Yale won the bid fair and square, but it's silly to act like Princeton couldn't have done better - they almost certainly would have, though likely not enough to win. But 2 back-to-back day games is how the Ivy decides its NCAA rep and Princeton didn't TCB.
