You were right. Cornell in 2010. Harvard won a game two times last decade but no sweet sixteen.
Not a bad dozen years or so for the league from 2008 up to COVID. From 2010-2019, 4 teams teams advanced to the round of 32 when none were a top 8 seed. I think they were all double digits.
COVID hurt them a few ways. The Yale team was pretty good in 2020 - had a couple of bigs who ended up playing serious minutes for Alabama and Notre Dame as grad transfers, another who played his year at Colorado, plus a terrific guard in Azar Swain. It would have been fun to see them in the tournament. That team wasn't necessarily favorites to win the Ivy tournament because Harvard hosted the tournament and was very good too. Besides the 2020 NCAA tournament being cancelled, the Ivies cancelled the next season, too, so a lot of these upper class guys transferred. It kind of killed some of the momentum from the prior decade, and left them with very inexperienced teams this year. That especially hurt at the start of the year, when they were playing the non-conference schedule, always on the road when playing power conferences. Hurt the RPIs/BPIs. The upside, it may have led to under-seeding. I'm looking forward to seeing how the teams do next year in non-conference games.
