Chances to Dance...

Cornell Athletics has broken down the possible scenarios for a Cornell championship this weekend. In short, Cornell punches its ticket to the NCAA Tournament if the Big Red sweep the Dartmouth/Harvard games and Columbia, Princeton and Yale each lose at least one game. The Athletics Department specifically notes:

Cornell has a chance to clinch at least a share of the 2008-09 Ivy League title on Friday under the following scenario. The Big Red would need to defeat Dartmouth along with all of the following results all taking place — Penn beats Yale, Harvard beats Columbia and Brown beats Princeton. If that happens, the Big Red would be able to clinch the Ancient Eight title outright with a win over Harvard on Saturday. In any case, Cornell would clinch at least a share of the crown with a weekend road sweep regardless of any other games. It would clinch the title outright with two wins and one loss by Columbia, Princeton and Yale.
