Princeton last night won its 13th straight game and clinched at least a share of the Ivy League Regular Season Championship. Columbia plays today and with a win will share the title with Princeton. Fifth straight for the Tigers and 3rd straight with Carla as coach.

The Ivy League Tournament will be played at Jadwyn Gym beginning Friday March 10th.

At this point, I agree. I would actually prefer Kara Lawson but she probably wouldn't leave Duke for UConn. And, if I could choose absolutely anyone, it would be Brad Stevens. I know it will never happen but I think he would be a great women's coach.

Preview of the Ivy Tournament which begins this afternoon. Penn v Princeton at 4:30 on ESPN+

Charlie still projects Columbia as the winner in his latest bracketology though @Phil noted that elsewhere he picked Princeton to win. He's hopelessly conflicted on this one.

Entering the Ivy League Tournament, Princeton and Columbia are both in position for at-large berths to the NCAA Tournament if they don’t get the conference’s automatic berth. As of Feb. 9, ESPN bracketologist Charlie Creme projects Princeton as the last at-large team in the field, earning a No. 11 seed, and Columbia as the presumed Ivy Tournament champion and a No. 10 seed. Harvard and Penn would both have to win the Ivy Tournament in order to make the NCAA Tournament.

I love Carla, but gotta root for Penn.
 
As much as I would love to see upstart Columbia win the conference tournament, Princeton is on a roll right now. I do expect the Lions and Tigers to match up in the Ivy Conference Championship and I also expect Princeton to come out on top.

Well, I will cheering for my fellow Norwalk native and also Azzi’s former AAU and high school teammate whom both play for Columbia.

I think that comes in less than a month with # 13 almost certain for next year, if certain key players (PB, , CD, ICE and AG) can stay on the floor, instead of the training room, and others ; e.g. Yanna. can learn how to play defense and set screens w/o fouling and making bunnies in the paint.
 
Princeton defeats Penn 60-47. Plays the winner of Columbia v Harvard for the championship.

Not for the next coach, it won’t happen as I firmly believed Chris Dailey wil take over duties as she is 5 years younger than Geno. After CD, sure…

Respectfully disagree
Charlie is not “ hopelessly conflicted “
He’s just plain hopeless plain and simple
Not to brag but at my age I am somewhat of an expert on the subject ;)

Well well. Harvard beats Columbia 72-65 in OT.

So Columbia is not the automatic qualifier from the Ivy league. Either Princeton or Harvard will earn that tomorrow. The question is whether the Ivy League is a one-bid league if Harvard wins the tournament.

How did I screw that up? LOL. I had to quickly edit my post.

I deleted my response.

As I was saying, Columbia can no longer be the automatic qualifier for the Ivy League in Charlie's bracketology. Princeton or Harvard will earn that distinction tomorrow.

Harvard just beat Columbia in the Ivy tourney
Princeton in position to prevail tomorrow...

Does this mean that St. John's gets into the dance?
(Poor Columbia, they had a great season).

How many bids can the Ivy League get? I'd take Columbia over the #7 or #8 team in the P5 conferences.

Charlie Creme had indicated the Ivies could get 2, but only if both Princeton & Columbia made it to the conference tournament final. Tonight, Princeton won their semifinal, but Columbia was upset by Harvard.

Now if Harvard upsets Princeton in the championship I guess it’s still possible that 2 teams from the Ivies make the Big Dance. But if Princeton wins, as expected, the Tigers will be the Ivies only representative.
 
I think Princeton is already in the NCAAs and Columbia with the loss is out. The only way the Ivy get two in is if Harvard wins tomorrow.

One game at a time, please..... even though it’s okay to dream.
