By The Way, Cornell Is Beating Stanford On Thursday

Erie's Scribe posted 3/18/2008 from www.legendofcecilioguante.com [flag]

Okay I may have officially lost it, I'm convinced that Cornell will pull an opening round upset over Stanford in Anaheim on Thursday. I don't know if the fact that the program hasn't been to the NCAA tournament since 1988 has altered my judgement, but I'm 99.9% sure of a Cornell victory. I was even able to find someone who agrees.

Stanford’s Defense Crushes Cornell 77-53

Posted 3/21/2008 on Slam Dunk Central

The good news was that the Cornell Big Red got to the NCAA tournament but the bad news is that they drew Stanford as their opponent; a combination of Stanford’s stifling defense and 55% shooting from the floor was more than Cornell could handle, as #3 Stanford easily disposed of #14 Cornell Thursday in the NCAA South regional at Honda Center at Anaheim, CA.

It’s halftime, but this one’s over. Despite CBS analyst Jay Bilas’ repeated attempts to create drama, none exists. The only question is whether Stanford wins by 15, 25 or 35. Based on this performance, and on how Marquette played against Kentucky, I’d guess the Cardinal... Continue reading...
