It's Chip and Dale's title to lose at this point in the Ivy Fantasy Hoops season. The team managed by beat writer Ted Kirby has led almost without interruption from the start of the Ancient Eight Campaign, and now has a solid four-point cushion in the overall standings with nine games left on the Ivy docket. Kirby's margins in the rebounds and steals categories are unassailable.
Second place will come down to the wire between the squads of Caleb Peiffer and Kevin Reyes. Peiffer has the leading scorer and rebounder in Ivy League play in Mark McAndrew (20.0 ppg) and Andrew Naeve (8.3 rpg), respectively. Reyes needs a big weekend from his three Yalies, who travel to Penn and Princeton to close their regular season, if he hopes to maintain a share of second place.
And Jonathan Lehman's team will be hard-pressed to stay out of the cellar because Pat McGrath's Ball and Busters trails by only two points at the bottom end of the tables. Lehman especially looks to focus on his steals during this final weekend.
