    There is no early admission to the NCAA tournament for Princeton or Harvard.

    It's a tie for the title and the brainy Ivy Leaguers are set for their toughest test yet: A one-game playoff for the outright conference championship that automatically puts the winner into the 68-team field.

    The Tigers forced a share of the championship and the playoff with a 70-58 win over Penn on Tuesday night. Princeton and Harvard will play Saturday at Yale's John J. Lee Amphitheater in New Haven, Conn., in a one-game playoff for the league's automatic berth to the NCAA tournament.

    "I am loving this moment," Tigers guard Dan Mavraides said. "We're Ivy League champions. We're putting 2011 up on that banner."
