Incredible.

While the Big Red has definitely had a resurgence these past few weeks, Ithaca has clearly devolved.

It would be tough to find a redeeming quality in Cornell, but the school has always bested its Ivy League counterparts in one aspect—its admissions rate. Hold on to that one tight, Cornell.

Pick: Harvard

Columbia at Dartmouth

Believe it or not, every team except for Dartmouth can still make the Ivy League tournament coming into this last weekend. The excitement around the tournament has been so great that the Ivy League just inked a sponsorship deal with none other than Porsche.

Hahahaha.

The real joke here, though, is the fact that both of these teams lost nine in a row at one point this season.

It’s a sad reality. Dartmouth’s athletics website has been relegated to finely worded titles on its previews. The one for the men’s basketball team this weekend is a real gem—“Men Close Out Season at Home as Potential Spoilers.”

Pour one out for the Big Green.

Pick: Columbia

Penn at Brown

In the grand scheme of things, the past few years have been a true fall from glory for the Quakers—Penn boasts an overall winning record against every school in the conference and from 1970 until 2007 they would go to the Big Dance 22 times.

Sure they’ve lost in the first round their last eight times out, but it would be hard to deny the Quakers weren’t the kings—or more likely, yeomen—of the Ivy League.

Since that last dance in 2007, however, they’ve struggled—finishing top-3 in conference just once.
