Figured I'd start a new thread with info up to NCAA time.

According to the IJ, Whittman is Ivy POTY, Foote is D POTY, and Dale is on first team.

Poll added.

Guesses at what seed we'll get? I've heard everything from a 10 to a 13.

Wow Wittman is only 26 points away from 2000 career points here

John Feinstein on NPR Monday morning said we could be as high as a 9 seed!

John Fienstein is insane. There haven't been enough tourney upsets in one-bid conferences for that to happen. I expect a 12 and am really hoping for a 10. The Penn loss was sooooooooooo bad that it probably eliminated any chance of a 10. I expect Northern Iowa to get an 8 or 9 and they have much better good wins than Cornell does.

Our wins are relatively mediocre compared to theirs?

How accurate has Lunardi been in years past?

Old Dominion, Siena and Wichita State - at least - are better than any team that Cornell beat this year. In a way, UNI has the same problem that Cornell does - the BCS teams that it played and beat (Iowa and ISU, for example) are bad teams from good conferences; they also have a couple of terrible losses. But their conference is also better than the Ivy League, so their overall profile is considerably better.

The most impressive features of Cornell's record are Win% and "good losses" and that usually doesn't lead to a 10 seed.

I was referring to the unusual English "much better good wins", not to the specifics.

Noted. I should have added scare quotes to "good wins".

Feinstein is almost more of a fan. I believe he covers the Patriot league and roots for the mid majors. He puts a mid major team in his #25 spot every week in the AP poll not because he thinks they should be in the top 25 but because they had a good week and deserved some recognition.

Wittman's in pretty good company here: [www.theithacajournal.com]

One would hope Donahue received some consideration for COY.

Thanks. Not sure following Calipari is much of an honor.

It usually involves coaching a team with scholarship and postseason restrictions. Almost sounds like the Ivy League. Almost.

District 1 is Siena and District 5 is Syracuse. What are the boundaries of District 13? Tompkins County?

Couldnt find anywhere that specified the districts but it might be more about conference than location since from last years all district players, District 13 includes Harvard, American, Dartmouth, Navy, Lehigh, all Ivy and Patriot league schools

Thanks. I hadn't noticed that. The Cornell Sun should recruit him.
