PRINCETON, N.J. -- With tip-off 13 days away, the Ivy League men’s basketball coaches sat down to discuss a variety of topics including recruiting, the state of the game, the value of the Ivy experience, national television exposure and the League’s important role within college athletics.

The future is bright for the Ivy League, which returns 12 of its top-15 scorers from a season ago, including the entire 2018 All-Ivy first team and six out of the seven members of the second team are back. Harvard has been picked to defend its Ivy League crown as the season tips off Tuesday, Nov. 6 with a challenging non-conference that features 18 non-conference games against 2018 NCAA Tournament team participants.

The women's basketball roundtable will be released Thursday, Oct. 25 at 10 a.m.
