Ivy League Tournament Simulation
Semifinals – Saturday, Mar. 11
1. Yale (20-7, 10-4) vs. 4. Cornell (17-10, 7-7) – 11 a.m. on ESPNU
Yale’s ability to have their players score at a rate where any one of their starters can drop 20+ points on any given night gives them a major advantage. They also give up the least points per game in conference play. With Cornell giving up the second most points per game, Yale should dominate.
Ethan’s pick: 1. Yale
2. Princeton (19-8, 10-4) vs. 3. Penn (17-12, 9-5) – 1:30 p.m. on ESPNU
Both teams are within .3 points per game of scoring margins during the Ivy League season. Assuming Jordan Dingle continues to play with the fire he has all season he will torch Princeton, however at that point, it’s up to Penn’s role players to go neck and neck with the best of the Tigers.
Ethan’s pick: 3. Penn
Championship – Sunday, Mar. 12
1. Yale vs. 3. Penn – Noon on ESPN2
These two teams split the season series with neither game being a blowout. Heading into this matchup Princeton allows the third most rebounds per game while Penn grabs the second most in the Ivys. With Princeton’s best rebounder averaging just 5.5 a game, it’ll be up to Penn’s big men to play a big role. Like the previous game, this rests on Dingle’s shoulders.
Ethan’s pick: 3. Penn
