Like in the preseason, Harvard now has a clean slate, as do Penn and Dartmouth. All three teams now start at 0-0 in the Ivy, and if they each can hold off the pesky likes of Princeton, Yale and Cornell, it will come down to the head-to-head match-ups in determining who represents the conference in the NCAA tournament.
Harvard and Dartmouth travel to Princeton and Penn in two weeks, with Dartmouth playing Penn on the first night and then switching with Harvard on the second.
"I like the order of the next weekend [against Penn and Princeton]," Delaney-Smith said, harboring hope that Dartmouth will wear Penn out that Friday.
The Crimson and Big Green will then square off in a grudge match in Hanover on March 7, the last night of the regular season, in what could determine the Ivy championship.
Who's it going to be? I still don't know, even though I follow this stuff religiously--I have all of the Ivy college newspapers bookmarked in my Netscape, and I read all of the articles.
But you know what? I'm not sure I really want to know. I'd rather watch it unfold and be surprised.
And if you know who it's going to be, please don't ruin the ending for me.
