For the life of me, I cannot understand how Marquette would be a higher seed than Yale. And I know they want to factor in travel expenses but that's some BS

I'd still take this scenario.

Odd that LaxMag has Providence winning the BE, IL has Marquette.

I agree this makes absolutely no sense. Why would ND as a #4 seed get the team with the significantly lower RPI in Marquette (assuming they win their conference)? As of today:

Yale #18
UMass #25
Providence #29
Marquette #30

Seems to me that if Providence or UMass win their conference, they should be slotted against Cuse as a #2 seed. Send Yale to play the #3 or #4 seed and don't give me any of this travel distance crap. Root for Providence and UMass.

3-1 Princeton over Brown in the 1st.

 

[Alsacs]

Air Force to Denver and Marquette to ND.

The committee would be a joke if the 2 seed gets harder first round opponents than the 3 and 5 seeds.

 

[Orangello]

Marquette has to beat Providence first.

 

[Orangello]

Princeton 9 Brown 7 in the 3rd

 

[CreaseRat]

Brown 17-15 winner

 

[Orangello]

Not much defense in the 4th quarter in that one.

Anyone have the Yale/Penn score? I'm out.

It's in 2OT and the refs just gave Yale a EMO.

As expected. But .

They may not have the juice to win the Ivy after four overtimes and only a day off between games.

Brown over Yale? Makes this weekend interesting.

Hope we don't play down to our competition in Hamilton tomorrow.

Agreed. Syracuse had their wake up call with UNC-2 in the ACC tourney. They need to take care of business systematically and without let up until they have a 10 goal lead.
