PRINCETON, N.J. -- Ivy League men’s
basketball rolls into the New Year with another full slate with 13
games on the schedule this week.
All eight Ancient Eight teams are in action with the first Ivy
game of the 2011-12 season taking place Saturday afternoon between
Harvard and Dartmouth from Lavietes Pavilion in Cambridge, Mass.
Cornell and Yale join Dartmouth and Harvard in playing two games
during the first full week of January. Columbia has the most active
week among the Ivies with three games in seven days, including two
straight on the road.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Yale senior center Greg Mangano (Orange, Conn.)
was outstanding in the two games against major conference
competition, posting double-doubles in road games at Wake Forest
and No. 10 Florida. Mangano was particularly impressive against
Florida, when he scored 26 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. He was
4-of-6 from three-point range as the Bulldogs stayed with the
Gators for most of the game. Fifteen of his 26 points came in the
second half. Against Wake Forest, Mangano poured in 20 points and
12 rebounds. With a combined five blocks in both games, he became
Yale’s all-time blocks leader with 176 for his career,
breaking the mark established by Chris
Dudley.
