May 24, 2018 | Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball
The Ivy League has announced that the 2019 Ivy League Men's and Women's Basketball Tournaments will be held on the campus of Yale University at the John J. Lee Amphitheater at Payne Whitney Gymnasium.
Princeton teams have won one of the two tournaments in each of the two years of the event. Princeton's men won the 2017 tournament while Princeton's women won this past winter. Yale has hosted two men's Ivy playoff games, both involving Princeton and both decided by a point each, with the Tigers winning over Harvard to advance to the 2011 NCAA Tournament and falling to Dartmouth in 1959. The Princeton women have competed in two Ivy playoff games at Yale with Dartmouth winning each time in 1999 and 2006.
The 2019 tournaments will be showcased on March 16 and 17, with the top four men's and women's teams competing for the right to represent the League in the NCAA Basketball Championships.
Saturday will feature four semifinals: two men's games – 12:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. – and two women's games – 6 p.m. and approximately 30 minutes after the first women's semifinal. The men's championship is set for 12 p.m., with the women's championship game set to begin at 4 p.m. All six games of the tournaments will be featured on the ESPN networks.
Ticket information will be released at a future date.
The site for the 2020 Ivy League Basketball Tournaments will be determined at a later date as the League continues to explore various options.
