If Cornell, Yale, and Penn all finish 5-1 then Cornell hosts based on goal differential in games between these teams That's awesome to know. Thanks! Yale's only Ivy game remaining is against Princeton. A Yale win in that game, or a Penn loss to Princeton, and Cornell controls their own destiny re: ...

Harvard 6, Penn 5 in the 2nd.

C'mon Hahvahd!

EDIT: Harvard 9-7 at the half. If Harvard wins, Cornell controls its own destiny re: hosting the Ivies.

Not sure anyone mentioned it, but I did think one of the turning points was when Cuse decided to slow play the 5 on 5 and wait for the 20 second mark to get to the 6 on 5.. Agreed, especially since the extra minute was unreleasable for Cornell. A curiously bad decision on their part. Use the extra ...

Ivy - I think Princeton is fully back to their “pre-covid” dominance. What now? I couldve worded that better. That 2020 Princeton team was 5-0 when covid hit and was on a war path led by Michael Sowers, Chris Brown, and Connor McCarthy. Mind you Sam English and Jake Stevens were second line/rotatio...

What now?

It's pure prognostication, but I see two paths to the NCAA tournament ... I think your prediction is spot on, except that the "predicted" wins are anything but automatic (i.e., I wouldn't be shocked if Cornell beat Syracuse but lost to Harvard or Brown) and personally, I would still be pr...

Man, what’s with the hatred for RPI? You know, it’s funny… the team beats them 2 out of 3 times in the regular season the past three years as the underdog. Nobody hates RPI. As someone who loves the underdog and loves what a deeper LL represents, I thought it was great that RPI beat RIT. And as an ...

While the RIT Tigers are the undisputed Kings of the Liberty, I find it interesting that RPI has had the only relative success vs RIT compared to the rest of the conference. ... Curious on hear others opinions on the topic? Would love to see RIT dethroned this year (though I still think it is overw...

Damn

Hell of a defensive effort by Penn. Got to hand it to them. Still, a frustrating loss.

How hard is it to add the shot clock to the score banner on the broadcast. I don't understand how in 2024 some broadcasts don't do this. Frustrating Very frustrating, I agree. A couple of weeks ago, someone remarked that Kirst sometimes has a tendency to hold on to the ball too long, which results ...

Nice looking crowd for the Harvard game today. They drew a great crowd for the Yale game, too, despite a heavy rain.

Neither. I mean, it says something. Union is (was) a top 10 team; 24-5 is a pretty prodigious beatdown. Two years ago, Union beat Tufts and it (rightfully) signaled that Union belonged in the discussion of teams that might be around on the final weekend. And they were. I'd have to think that this d...

I can say my model hates Army. I think it is due to the weak schedule. I think you have Cornell a bit high, but you are a fan. I still have them around 10, hard to get them inside the top 5 until that defense improves Maybe, but they just beat the #1 RPI team, and are currently #6 RPI, and #2 SOS. ...

LaxRef guy was nice enough to update his numbers a few minutes ago, Cornell is now #2 RPI. Yale remains #1. Were there late games that significantly impacted the RPI? Only one I can think of is the G'Town/Richmond game, and I caon't imagine it moving the numbers all that much. Anyway, Cornell is no...

-The camera didn't show the hit that caused the 3 minute unrealeasable. I'd liked to have seen it. That's close to the basis for an ejection. Cornell's penalty-killing on the day was beyond solid, and never better - and more impactful - than here. Down 2-1 early in the 1st, Yale could have ridden t...

If memory serves, that's usually for the best.

That Penn result is a really bad loss for the Ivies. Ouch.

Not completely unexpected; SJ always gives Penn a game.

I agree 100% that Cornell deserved that win, and were in control of that game until the refs took over with 20 minutes left. That said, Cornell benefitted from two pretty iffy calls yesterday. Dalton's goal (Goldstein's first assist) that made the game 6-2, I felt that there was one replay angle th...

The officiating debacle in Denver is really a shame. This is a top 5-6 team with a win in Denver and the team deserved a better fate than that loss. I agree 100% that Cornell deserved that win, and were in control of that game until the refs took over with 20 minutes left. That said, Cornell benefi...
