2008–09 Ivy League men's basketball season

Unlike other leagues within the NCAA, the Ivy League does not play a league tournament for a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Rather, they send the regular season league champion. Cornell won by second time consecutive.

Cornell would be humbled in the first round, losing to Missouri.

During the 2008–09 season, Harvard's Jeremy Lin was the only NCAA Division I men's college basketball player who ranked in the top ten in his conference for scoring (17.8), rebounding (5.5), assists (4.3), steals (2.4), blocked shots (0.6), field goal percentage (0.502), free throw percentage (0.744), and 3 point shot percentage (0.400).^[1]
