What a fascinating game this is gonna be... A team of seniors who live together and have been playing together for years, vs. a bunch of NBA freshmen/sophomores. Should be awesome!

(And I'm gonna miss it, cuz I'm gonna be on the plane to Vegas!!)

Cool article on espn.com:

Red-hot Big Red keeps on rolling

http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/8478/red-hot-big-red-keeps-on-rolling

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- As he headed back to his jubilant locker room, Cornell point guard Louis Dale stopped to sign a hat from a fan. It was a University of Alabama cap, sure, but at least it had the right red-and-white colors, and Alabama is Dale's home state.

An amazing excerpt from it:

Temple and Wisconsin owned two of the best defenses in the country this season, according to the stats. Yet here is what Cornell did to those defenses: shot a combined 58.8 percent from the floor and 44.7 percent on three-pointers while averaging 82.5 points.

Wisconsin had allowed 70 points only three times all year, two of those coming in overtime games. Yet Bo Ryan's defense got sliced like a machete through warm gouda. Cornell shot 61.1 percent, the highest percentage by any team against the Badgers in the Ryan era.

The Big Red have to be the top athletic program of all the Ivy schools, there hockey team is solid as well.

Princeton used to be a top lax team as well, but I'm not sure where they stand right now. No Ivy League basketball team has been this good in my lifetime.

I'm completely impressed. Whitman, Dale, Foote, all of 'em. Shooting it lights out and playing great D as well.

You obviously didn't watch St.Mary's and Northern Iowa play.

iceminers26 · 03-21-10, 10:08 PM

Princeton has a descent hockey club as well right behind Cornell, Harvard, and Brown

Did who win what conference? Yes, Cornell's basketball team won the Ivy League conference if that's what you are asking.

iceminers26 · 03-21-10, 10:15 PM

Hey Willy

I can't remember, I know the Ivy never use to have a post season tourney but did they have one this year, if not they should get one in the works.

No, they don't have one. To be honest, I'm not sure why they don't either.

tltaylor89 · 03-21-10, 10:19 PM

I think the Cornell train has left this is their last stop.

probably cause they feel they are only getting 1 entry into the field and want the teams to earn it throughout the season

tltaylor89 · 03-21-10, 10:23 PM

I know I will say one thing this is the most level playing field ever.

iceminers26 · 03-21-10, 10:30 PM

Why do you say that, Pavy? Yes, I watched both of those. Also super-impressive. There's no quota on impressive teams w/ great senior leadership from smaller conferences, is there?? I'm loving ALL these sorts of teams beating up on the big boys!!

So many seniors stepping up this tournament! I love the statement it makes about playing for four years and learning the game, growing alongside your teammates, etc. Wittman, Samhan, Farokmanesh, the list goes on and on.

Bigcheez · 03-21-10, 11:45 PM

Can't wait until Thursday night.

spongerat · 03-21-10, 11:52 PM

I like cornell but I think they're done as well
