In addition to our recap, read about Princeton's lopsided victory over Brown on goprincetontigers.com, in the Trentonian, on Go Local Prov and on brownbears.com.

Tuesday night's game with Penn has been picked up by ESPN3.

Still alive! By the skin of their teeth (as if they know any other way now) Northwestern (18-12) pulled off a 70-66 win at Iowa. The Hawkeyes missed an open three pointer for the lead with six seconds to go.

At the same time Fairfield (18-13) was fending off Rider, 65-63. The Stags get top seed Iona in the MAAC semis this afternoon.

Georgetown (22-7) fell 83-69 at Marquette. With the loss the Hoyas slip to the five seed in next week's Big East Tournament. Hoya Prospectus crunches the numbers.

It was Oregon State (17-13) over Colorado, 83-69.

Denver faces South Alabama in the Sun Belt Tournament.

Around the Ivy League: Harvard (26-4 / 12-2) earned at least a share of the conference crown with a 67-63 win at Cornell (12-16 / 7-7). Penn (19-11 / 11-2) stayed a half game back by rolling Yale (19-9 / 9-5) at The Palestra, 67-48. After so many close conference losses, Columbia (15-15 / 4-10) came out on top by six over Dartmouth (5-25 / 1-13) to end the season.

Thanks, Larry. I was just adding that last one in when you commented. Blame the 3.5 year old on my lap for it not going up sooner!

I have mixed feelings about Sydney Johnson's record at Fairfield. Perhaps it was all hype, but I sense that expectations have exceeded success for the Stags this season. Is it possible that Sydney may have a little "buyer's remorse" for leaving our program for one that, by most evaluations, is no improvement? Sure, I assume he is making more $. But, if he had stuck around a little longer, he might have had the chance to make a much better leap.

Perhaps this conclusion is premature. Go luck in the MAAC playoffs, Sydney. I hope that it all works out. As for Princeton, I am delighted with MH's transition. I think that good times are ahead for Princeton Basketball!

Peter,

See my note after the Brown recap and/or Henderson's comments after the away Harvard game.
