Some also thought they’d finish sixth, and that’s not likely to happen either.

I am tired of being proven wrong. I’ll take Harvard to sweep this weekend.

And now for some other not-quite-midseason assessments. Here are my votes for a list of league honors, as well as my grades forhow each of the eight Ivy teams has performed so far.

Midseason Awards

Player of the Year: Patrick Harvey, Harvard.

Only Hunt has better offensive numbers so far this year and unlike Hunt, Harvey plays defense. Harvey is the main target of opposing defenses every time he steps on the floor, and he kills them anyway. In the Crimson’s upset over Penn, Sullivan admitted that Harvard’s game plan on offense boiled down to one simple axiom— “Get the ball to Pat.” So far, Harvey hasn’t let them down.

Rookie of the Year: Jason Forte, Brown.

All the preseason attention focused on Yale’s Edwin Draughan, but all indications now point to Forte. He’s been the Ivy Rookie of the Week four times already this season, and in addition to trailing only Harvard junior Elliott Prasse-Freeman in the assist department, he’s shown an uncanny ability to take over a game offensively. While Earl Hunt struggled against Harvard last Saturday, it was Forte (25 points) who singlehandedly kept Brown within striking distance. Draughan may yet develop into the better player three years from now, but Forte has gotten off to the faster start.
