Harvard Hoops Success Has A Price

[bonarae]

Harvard put down Cornell 72-47. Meanwhile, Yale continues its slide against Princeton 57-46.

March 7 might be the date that we'll punch our ticket to the Dance for the third straight year and hopefully we'll be the first to punch our Dance ticket nationally for this year. (Last year FGCU got it first by a few hours ahead of us.)

I'll elaborate further on the scenarios on whether we punch the first ticket to the Dance 2014: (partly a correction to my previous post)

For March 1:
1. If we win against Columbia at home and Yale loses at Penn, we punch it right away.
2. If both (Harvard and Yale) win, the punching will be decided on March 7 or 8, and we get at least a share of the conference title right away. (After Harvard, Yale has Dartmouth. After Yale, we have Brown.)

If we win it all (three games left), then we will have at least a share of four straight Ivy championships. (First since Penn from 1993-1996)

Ugh. Only at least a share was won today. Yale won at Penn 70-63, and more importantly, we closed Lavietes for the men's 2013-2014 season with a win against Columbia, 80-47. (The women will still use Lavietes next week.)

It's March 7 for the Dance game. We need to win this to punch the first Dance ticket of 2014, ahead of the OVC champion.

Harvard beats Yale 70-58 to clinch Ivy title for thirds straight year!

Harvard set a school record for Ivy wins in beating Brown in OT 98-93. We have at least 10 days to rest and then prepare for the Dance.
