PRINCETON, N.J. -- While the schedule is light
for Ivy League men’s basketball this week with only four
games, three of those key mid-January conference matchups between
travel partners.
All four games this week happen on Saturday with Brown hosting Yale at the Pizzitola Sports Center, Columbia welcoming Cornell to Levien Gymnasium and Harvard and Dartmouth completing their travel partner contests at Leede Arena. Penn closes out its Philadelphia Big 5 and non-conference schedule playing host to crosstown rival Saint Joseph’s at the Palestra.
"Inside Ivy League Basketball" is back for its fifth
episode on Wednesday, Jan. 18, featuring interviews with Dartmouth
men’s basketball head coach Paul Cormier and
Yale women's basketball head coach Chris
Gobrecht.
"Inside Ivy League Basketball" is hosted by Dan
Loney and Brian Seltzer and takes an
in-depth look at all the news and notes surrounding Ivy men’s
and women’s basketball on and off the courts during the
2011-12 season. The 12-episode show debuted Thursday, Nov. 10 at 7
p.m. on BlogTalkRadio.com (blogtalkradio.com/insideivyleaguebasketball) and is
available on-demand via BlogTalkRadio and
IvyLeagueSports.com.
Each episode is packed with highlights, statistics and expert
analysis in its 'Around the League' segment. With its interview
segments 'Program Profile,' 'Student-Athlete Spotlight' and 'Alumni
Focus,' the show will visit with past and present players, coaches
and administrators who impact Ivy League basketball.
Fans and alumni can interact with the show via its social media
platforms -- Facebook (Inside Ivy League Basketball) and Twitter (@insideivyhoops) -- as well as provide ideas and
content for the show’s ‘Twitter Talk/Facebook
Fodder’ segment.
