At 7 p.m. Eastern, the eyes of college basketball fans from coast-to-coast will be fixed on Manhattan, Kansas, where 11th-ranked Kansas State welcomes archrival Kansas, ranked second in the country, to the “Octagon of Doom.”
The Best Game Of The Day You Can’t See Is In The Ivy League
↵At the same time, Cornell, the team who nearly upset the Jayhawks back on January 6th, faces a huge challenge in their quest to make the NCAAs for the third straight season. The Big Red take on Jeremy Lin and Harvard, a team with their own postseason aspirations.
↵Since there is no Ivy League tournament, tonight’s meeting in Ithaca and the February 19th rematch in Cambridge will likely determine which of the two will represent the Ancient Eight in the field of 65. (Unless the two tie at the top of the standings, since the Ivy has no tiebreaker system, they’d meet in a one-game playoff.) And as nice as it would be for the conference to earn two bids, it’s a highly unlikely proposition.
↵Even though so much rides on tonight’s game between two teams who are a real threat to make some noise in March, you won’t be able to find it on television, but you can follow the live score here on SB Nation.
