The Ivy League announced its major men’s awards Wednesday. But we know this is the moment you’ve all been waiting for: Ivy Hoops Online’s 2025-26 All-Ivy Awards, as determined by IHO’s contributors prior to the 2026 Ivy League Tournament:

ITHACA, N.Y. — Penn men’s basketball is 40 minutes away from its first trip to the NCAA Tournament in eight years after outlasting Harvard in a 62-60 overtime thriller to advance to the Ivy League Tournament final.
Sophomore point guard AJ Levine — more on him later — played the hero after he blew by Harvard sophomore guard Ben Eisendrath off the dribble for a scoop layup with 6.1 seconds to play in the extra session.
With the Crimson in scramble mode, Levine got a hand in Harvard guard Tey Barbour’s face as the sniper put up a three-point attempt to win the game.
Barbour’s shot was off line to the right and a wild celebration ensued.

The Quakers (17-11) are now in a position that few expected them to be in back in November. What did we learn about this team as it preps for an empty-the-tank game against Yale for a conference tournament championship?
Harvard men’s basketball takes down Columbia in regular-season finale
Senior guard Chandler Pigge matched his career high of 26 points to pace Harvard men’s basketball in an 81-71 victory over Columbia in front of a large contingent of family and friends at Lavietes Pavilion Friday evening.
Quakeaways from Penn men’s basketball’s sweep of Dartmouth and Harvard
PHILADELPHIA — Merry clinchmas, Quakers fans.
Penn ended its three-year Ivy Madness drought with a weekend sweep at the Palestra of Dartmouth and Harvard. The Quakers (15-11, 8-5 Ivy) are locked into the three seed and a rubber match with Harvard (16-11, 9-4) in two weeks.
Unsurprisingly, the road to that aforementioned sweep was anything but linear. The Quakers needed to erase halftime deficits against both Dartmouth (11-15, 5-8) and the Crimson. On Friday, junior forward TJ Power pretty much singlehandedly carried the team over the line against the Big Green, dropping a career-high 38 points as the Quakers notched a closer-than-it-looked 80-71 win.
One night later, Penn played an excellent half of complementary offensive and defensive basketball to flip a 31-21 Crimson halftime lead into a 64-61 triumph.
Of course, any game against Harvard these days has to come with some late drama. The Crimson had a wide-open shot from deep to tie the game at the buzzer for elite shooter Tey Barbour after senior guard Cam Thrower slipped and fell while attempting to either foul or guard the Harvard guard.
Any Penn fan who’s been around long enough to remember the “Bryce Aiken game” in 2019 had to expect Barbour’s shot was going down. But maybe — just maybe — Barbour’s shot clanging off the rim is a sign that things have truly turned around for this program.
What else could Penn fans hold onto from one last successful homestand?
Harvard men’s basketball clamps down on Cornell to clinch Ivy Madness slot
Harvard men’s basketball is headed back to the Ivy League Tournament.
Powered by a stifling 40-minute defense and strong second-half offensive production, the Crimson throttled the Big Red, 73-54, at Newman Arena on Saturday afternoon to clinch a spot in the Ancient Eight’s upper division.
“It feels great to get to Ivy Madness. It’s been a while since this program has been there,” Tey Barbour said to ESPN+’s Eric Taylor after the sophomore guard’s career-best 30-point performance. “We had a heartbreaking loss (to Yale) last week, but I’m proud of our team to bounce back and have a great win.”
Yale men’s basketball wins overtime thriller at Harvard
Few sporting events live up to their billing. Yale-Harvard did and more Saturday night, as the Bulldogs edged Harvard, 76-75, in overtime in a game at Lavietes Pavilion which offered more theatrics than most Broadway plays.
Harvard men’s basketball holds on for Aloha Night win over Brown
It’s usually the Saturday game in the Ivy League back-to-backs when teams have to win ugly, but the Harvard men had to do so on Friday.
In a game in which both offenses struggled, the Crimson survived a game-tying triple at the buzzer to escape with a 56-53 victory over Brown in front of a Hawaiian shirt-wearing Aloha Night crowd at Lavietes Pavilion.
Harvard men’s basketball dispatches Dartmouth at Leede Arena
HANOVER, N.H. – For those of us who saw Harvard men’s basketball dominate the Ivy League (and make a big mark on the national stage) for most of the 2010s, it’s somewhat unfathomable to point out that the Crimson have not been part of Ivy Madness since 2019.
Harvard men’s basketball downs Yale on a dagger trey
In what may end up being the Ivy League game of the year, Harvard men’s basketball topped Yale, 67-65, on a 28-foot banked trey with under five seconds remaining by Harvard sophomore guard Tey Barbour before a raucous crowd of 2,425 at John J. Lee Amphitheater.
“Very disappointing loss for us. Hats off to Harvard,” Yale coach James Jones said after a long postgame talk with his team.
Harvard men’s basketball cruises to victory at Brown
Prolific production from a trio of Harvard guards, Robert Hinton, Tey Barbour and Chandler Pigge, neutralized a monster 30-point effort from senior forward Landon Lewis and propelled the Crimson men to a 69-59 victory over Brown at the Pizzitola Sports Center on Friday evening.
With the win, Harvard (11-9, 4-2 Ivy) claimed sole possession of second place through the first six conference games of the 2026 season, while Bruno (1-5, 7-12) remained at the bottom of the Ancient Eight.
