Yale's Ivy regular season ends with a title on the line at home. I'm sure grateful that this one isn't at the Pizz - Brown has been hot at home recently. Saturday is the first day of Yale's spring break, so I don't expect there'll be many student.
(Also, I never expected to hear myself say this, but go Quakers.)

Princeton doesn't need any help for the 1-seed! Granted, it'd be kind of hard to have the four-Tiger-one-Bulldog all-Ivy team some on here seem to think merited if Yale ties at the top. Those pesky results, always getting in the way of a good story.

I'm actually rooting for the Bulldogs. Need to cool off Brown before the ILT.
May Yale and Princeton both take care of business... and meet again in the ILT final.

The only suggestion I saw of four players from one school
getting All_IVy recognition was your suggestion of
four Bulldogs, but I do think the case for three Tigers
has gotten stronger. Allocco had a great weekend,
and Pierce was co-POW.

some clown who undoubtedly sleeps with a stuffed feline argued mitch henderson should pick the team which i found cute. how many does that imply?
personally i dont care though i assumed the thread was for adults
ideally princeton and yale pass through the gauntlet which starts saturday for both. as a yale homer i recognize nothing is a given so hope for the best each step of the way.

Not sure what any of that means or where the
first line comes from.

In any case, back to Brown - I don't think Yale is a super great match-up for the Bears. Yale is one of the few Ivy teams who has a stellar defensive guard with athleticism and a true big man with size. I would think this would make it harder for Owusu-Anane and Lilly to get theirs. It absolutely is an asset in the League this year to have a true big man with mobility, if for no other reason than that neither Cornell nor Princeton really plays a true post man. Ragland is the closest either of them gets.

what i hate abt this game is its at 12 and its senior day but students are gone so the atmosphere will likely be not great.
brown should be fired up and they are kind of due.
yale should have simething to play for but in some ways it's out of their control.
the two guards at brown kimo and aj (?) have taken some pressure off lily and are helping spread the floor and freeing up space for the bigs.
good news is we have bigs to your point but brown was such an underachiever that this move in results back to their talent mean is reflexive driving lots of confidence.
will be tough

Meanwhile, continuing the recent theme of Yale getting no recognition whatsoever, The Athletic thinks Cornell and Princeton are both far more likely to pull off an upset in the NCAA tournament than Yale would be. Ho-hum, Yale's not very good, just the team with the best metrics in conference since conference play started.

It's very interesting when you compare the Big Three's stats from the noncon and conference play, for what it's worth.

it would be nice if yale occasionally used some ball pressure 3/4s to mix it up. doesnt mean they cant.
article talks about 3 point shooting steal rate and offensive rebounding.
we have been through 3 point shooting. obviously cuts both ways.
steal rate goes up if you pressure the ball.
oreb is what if is but we dereb well.
our personnel and style is more conventional i guess against the power 5. but we also match up well size wise so ?

I agree that Yale is underrated nationally. The way Gonzaga is playing of late, that non-con game could be looked at a bit differently now.

The Athletic analysis was focused on upset potential rather than overall power stats, so they didn't like Yale as much because they don't think it generates the high-variance stats that can lead to upsets over teams with higher averages.
