Ivy League recap

This is part 32 of a 32-part series covering each conference and conference tournament.  These previews are meant to provide every bracketologist with the information they need to make informed projections about the teams of the conference.

The standings:
Harvard 13-1
Yale 9-5
Princeton 8-6
Columbia 8-6
Brown 7-7
Dartmouth 5-9
Penn 5-9
Cornell 1-13

The stakes:
No conference tournament here.  Harvard (26-4) is looking at the 13 line.  Obviously, the seasons of Dartmouth (12-16), Penn (8-20), and Cornell (2-26) are over.

How about the others?  I have them as borderline CBI/CIT candidates.  A couple of them will inevitably get bids.  Yale (15-13) being the top candidate, slightly, finishing 2nd.  Princeton (20-8) has the shiny RPI and record, so probably them.  Columbia (19-12) and Brown (15-13) more borderline.

And there we go.  A 32-part series that covered every team in D-1 except independent NJIT (13-16).  Boom.
