Do you think this season or in the future one might be able to combine more than 2 small schools? Or maybe even 2 small schools and one big just to get enough players to field a team?

Several years ago John Feinstein wrote a book about Ivy League basketball, Outside the Limelight: Basketball in the Ivy League. I’m switching the St. John’s/Syracuse squad for an all Ivy League team. I’ll probably get beat up, but what the heck. Great book!
I’ve put together a tentative Ivy League team. On paper they will be competitive at all. Can I select players from Seton Hall?

No, sorry. We already know that they are gonna stink. If you can't deal with that go back to Syracuse / St. Johns. The best an Ivy League team will do is to be a spoiler by winning a few games against possible playoff teams. I assume if we do get an Ivy League team they will have to utilize a "slow down" offense like Pete Carril used at Princeton. Try to keep the possessions down so they will lose by fewer pints, and maybe win once in a while.

We might have to consider that if we want to try and have a season 3.

Back to Syracuse and St. John’s then.

Season 1, a Texas/Texas A&M combo won the championship, beating Kentucky in the Finals, as the home team won every game.
