The College Basketball Closer is written by the gang at Storming the Floor . Even if you like conference tournaments as much as I do, this might still seem a little early to be talking about March Madness.

Posted 3/2/2008 on We Suck at Sports

OK not exactly, but Cornell has achieved something special in winning the Ivy League championship this weekend. Not only is Cornell the first team to officially punch a ticket to the Big Dance, but they are the first Ivy League team other than Penn or Princeton to make it in the tournament in TWENTY YEARS. Coincidentally, Cornell was the last exception in 1988. This is Cornell's 3rd NCAA ...

While my favorite team is getting ready to lose in the first round of the NIT, the Big Red of Cornell are the first team to make it into the Big Dance by winning the outright Ivy League title. It is their first trip to the dance in 20 years. They manhandled the Harvard Crimson 86-53. Other Notable College Basketball Results: Memphis 76 - Southern Miss 67 .

We've discussed this possibility here before . No less mind-boggling now that it's happening. Lunardi is projecting the Big Red to be a #13 seed. I can't believe I just wrote that sentence.

The 2008 NCAA Tournament has its first team. The Ivy League continued its tradition of awarding an automatic NCAA Tournament bid without a conference tournament. But this year, for the first time in 20 years, Pennsylvania or Princeton will not represent the conference. Instead, it’s the Cornell Big Red chewing gum with the chance to become a Cinderella. Cornell beat Harvard last night ...

Cornell basketball returns to its rightful place: first

Posted 3/1/2008 on Watchdog

Cornell defeated Dartmouth, 75-59, this Friday night to improve to 11-0 in the Ivy League and clinch a tie for the league title. Saturday night will be one of the biggest in recent Cornell sports history, as the basketball team routs Harvard to clinch the outright title and its first NCAA Tournament berth since 1988, while next door the hockey team pummels Harvard - its most bitter rival - ...
Cornell emerges as college hoops powerhouse

Posted 2/25/2008 on Watchdog

On Saturday night I attended the Cornell-Princeton tilt at Hobey Baker Rink, a very small, very cool (literally and figuratively) facility that opened in 1923. Princeton inexplicably emerged with a lucky 2-1 victory, but the many Big Red fans in attendance took the loss with grace. And why not? Everyone knows Cornell is a basketball school. The Big Red is 18-5 overall, 10-0 in the ...
