It's been a long 10 months since then-senior Douglas Davis hit a last-second shot to defeat Harvard in a one-game playoff that sent Princeton to the NCAA tournament. But the excitement of Ivy League basketball has finally returned. Or at least it will tomorrow when Harvard hosts Dartmouth at 2 p.m. (Columbia doesn't play its first Ivy game until Jan. 13)

But the rest of the Ancient Eight (well, except Dartmouth) will be engaged in a dog fight for second place. Click through the jump to see which teams have lived up to preseason expectations, which haven't, and where I think Columbia will end up in all this mess.
