The Ivy League has been dominated by Pennsylvania and Princeton over the past 24 years. Princeton is the first team in the conference section that has cracked the top 100 overall teams. Along with a Pennsylvania team that has 12 tournament appearances with one tournament win, Princeton puts the Ivy League surprisingly high in the rankings.
Princeton has nine tournament appearances and two tournament wins. They defeated No. 4-seeded UCLA as a No. 13 seed in 1996 and then beat No. 12-seeded UNLV as a No. 5 seed in 1998.
Cornell won the Ivy League crown last year to become the first team besides Penn or Princeton to represent the Ivy League since Cornell won the league championship in 1988. Cornell went undefeated in Ivy League play in 2008 but was beaten badly by No. 3-seeded Stanford in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Again, I apologize to any Ivy League fans for putting them in this post and the conference they are tied with in the next post. The reasoning was that all of the teams in the other conference have made the NCAA tournament at least once, while there are four Ivy League teams that have never made the tournament in the past 24 seasons.
Top 50 Teams:
T-35) Pittsburgh Panthers – Total Points: 378
- Four Sweet 16 Appearances, 11 Missed Tournaments
- ESPN Rank: T-43
