They play good ball in the Ivy and some of the kids even go to class. 15 seemed a low seed but I guess their out of conference record was not so great.
Tousan is supposed to be the top player among the grad student transfers next year, or maybe they were saying the whole set of announced/likely transfers. May be the best player to come out of England, or at least Newcastle.
As for Ivy ball, they never get a power conference at home (except Penn when they play a Temple or Villanova at the Palestra, which isn't really an away game for the opponents), so their out of conference records against quality oppnents are always going to be tough, but they tend to do well in neutral site tournaments. Yale had Kentucky tied at Rupp in december 5 minutes into the 2nd half, and in the NIT had Vandy at Vandy down 3 with 6 minutes left. Cornell I think came within a bucket of beating Miami at Miami. UConn stopped its series with Yale when Jones started to beat them, and they can't get a game against BC anymore.
