Princeton made waves in the 2023 NCAA men's basketball tournament when the Tigers upset Arizona and Missouri in the first two rounds. But if Princeton wants to go back to the Big Dance, it will have to win the Ivy League title again.

The Tigers enter this weekend's tournament with the No. 1 seed, but No. 2 Cornell and No. 3 Yale aren't too far behind the Tigers. Brown earned the final spot of the four-team playoff bracket.

Cornell boasted the best offense of the Ivy League after the Big Red averaged 83.0 points per game this season. Princeton finished third with 76.9 points but had the No. 1 defense in the conference after the Tigers gave up 65.1 points per game.

Brown's Kino Lilly Jr. is the top scoring threat to watch after averaging a conference-best 18.4 points per game. Princeton's Xaivian Lee is another player to follow after he finished with 17.7 points per game.

Here is everything you need to know about the Ivy Leaague basketball tournament, including TV and streaming options for each game.
