Around the Ivies: Men's Basketball Looks to Continue Streak

Incredible.

Cornell was founded by Andrew Dickinson and Ezra Cornell with the purpose of creating, “an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.” They really followed through—Cornell has both the highest acceptance rate in the Ivy League and you can study hotel management whilst in Ithaca.

For its part Dartmouth just changed its logo to a really ugly and fake looking pine inside of a letter D. It’s no wonder former Ivy League Rookie of the Year Evan Boudreaux left.

With no Boudreaux, and without a win in conference so far, things are looking sad in Hanover.

HARVARD AT COLUMBIA

This game might have been the Crimson’s low point of last year’s conference season. Coming off a last-minute win at Cornell the night before, Harvard shot a ridiculous 39 three-pointers, connecting on a grand total of 25 percent.

Needless to say, the Crimson lost despite an off night from touted freshman guard Mike Smith for Columbia. The real takeaway from that game, though, was that a supposedly esteemed institution in the middle of New York can’t provide internet for visiting journalists. If the Lions can clean up their act in this department then perhaps we’d be more friendly when it came to the pick.

It would also help to win more than three games in non-conference play.

Pick: Harvard

BROWN AT PENN

This might be the closest matchup of the weekend. The Brown Bears come in with the highest scoring offense in the conference while the Quakers have what might be the most talented frontcourt in the league. Penn stunned Princeton and for its part Brown upset Yale. This one should be interesting to watch.

No sarcasm here. This should actually be a good game.

Pick: Penn

YALE AT PRINCETON
