Rant Sports Ivy League Preview



Today, we look at the Ivy League:

The long-awaited moment finally came for Harvard a season ago, as the Crimson qualified for the NCAA Tournament by way of winning the Ivy League outright. With expectations of backing that up with another trip to the Big Dance in 2013, the school, and most notably the basketball program, was wrapped in a cheating scandal that will force head coach Tommy Amaker to replace two of his expected starters.
Kyle Casey and Brandyn Curry are gone, but the Crimson still have enough talent to take the conference crown. The only problem: their window of advantage is not nearly as wide. Princeton, led by all-conference forward Ian Hummer is looking to regain the Ivy League title, while Columbia and Cornell look to provide a threat of their own.
