<p>Your 2011 Men's Basketball Ivy League Champs. That is all.</p>
<p>yes, congratulations - Harvard’s first Ivy League Basketball Championship…</p>
<p>Wow! Congratulations dude. Wow!</p>
<p>Party hard (with **** babes).</p>
<p>^ Oh wow, my first censored post.</p>
<p>It’s about time.</p>
<p>Coach Amaker pointed out to the media that its pretty hard to do something at Harvard that no one there has ever done before. 
I’m looking forward to the playoff game this weekend if Princeton wins on Tuesday.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>About time that Harvard finally wins a hoops title or about time that someone censored DreamsUnlimited?</p>
<p>the fact that this has only 5 posts shows how little most harvard applicants actually care about anything about harvard besides the big name…</p>
<p>No, it just shows that people don’t really care about Harvard basketball… It is a big step from that to “Only care about the name.”</p>
<p>And why should applicants care about Harvard basketball? We should have (for our own sake) little or no emotional attachment to the place. Unless we play basketball and want to play in college, at Harvard and are on CC (this is becoming a small subset of people quite quickly…) why should we reply; unless to criticise a silly assumption.</p>
<p>Idios, if you are a hard core Harvard applicant, you would have to eat, sleep and think any thing Harvard, which would include following such a monumental sports achievement as winning the Ivy League in basketball for the first time ever.</p>
<p>Getting emotionally attached to a school like Harvard prior to admission is stupid. A recipe for a very bad March 30th. Get attached to the places you are accepted to, live sleep and breathe them then and make a good decision. That is what April is for.</p>
<p>I quite agree with idiosyncra3y. Onecircuit, I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic or not. o.o</p>
<p>Bugger, may have missed the sarcasm…:)</p>
<p>Doesn’t really matter if they dont get to the tourney, Princeton can still make it over them. Just saying</p>
<p>It’s cool that Harvard has won at least a share of the Ivy title (although a playoff game may still give the greater share of the glory to Princeton). But you have to look at a little context – in the 54 seasons up until this one in which there has been an Ivy League men’s basketball champion, only 12 of them have seen any college other than Penn or Princeton winning even a share of the title, and four of those – half of the outright titles won by the 6 Ivies whose names don’t start with P – were won by Cornell. In the past 25 years, until now, only one team other than Penn, Princeton, or Cornell has even shared a title (Yale, who lost to Penn in a playoff). Dartmouth has won Ivy basketball titles, but not since 1959 – it won the second title, and shared the third (with Princeton, which it beat in the playoff). Columbia has shared one title, in the 60s. Brown won once in the early 80s. So it’s not like Harvard is unique in its frustration here. (I suspect Dartmouth fans are going to go a lot longer than Harvard fans have without a championship.) And it’s also not like anyone should be dancing around and chanting “We’re #1!”, at least until either Penn beats Princeton tonight or Harvard wins the rubber match.</p>
<p>Plus, of course, Harvard lost to Yale – a game which, had it won, would have positioned it for an outright championship. It’s hard to have a truly glorious season at Harvard when you lose to Yale, especially when you lose a meaningful game to Yale.</p>
<p>Go Penn! …</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Meh, who cares about basketball. </p>
<p>…I kid :p. But I am kind of sad no one commented on the housing day thread smoda61 had kindly put together. After all, if you come to Harvard, that’s where you would have to live.</p>
<p>Penn up four at the half in an ugly game that’s setting basketball back 75 years.</p>
<p>Princeton by 12. Fair enough. Let’s win it on the court Saturday instead of backing into the NCAAs.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is dumb, making the NCAA tournament >>>>>>> one loss to yale.</p>
<p>That’s true. But first they have to make the NCAA tournament, which isn’t exactly a foregone conclusion. If they had beaten Yale, they would have been in the tournament since Saturday. Getting a share of the Ivy title for the first time is nice, and a real accomplishment for the Cantabs, but if they can’t beat Princeton again and don’t get the NCAA slot because they lost to Yale and Princeton (twice), I doubt there’s going to be a triumphant victory parade or anything.</p>
