And a glowing reference it is!

The better reference was

HIGHEST SAT/ACT SCORES
• It has to be Stanford versus Cornell. Maybe after the game the players should quiz each other.

On one of the Sportcenter segments on ESPN Radio today, they were talking about the potential for interesting matchups.  After expressing disappointment that the Hansborough (sp?) brothers were not going to get to play against eachother, the committee was praised for pairing Cornell and Stanford to get the game leading to the most lawyers, doctors, and CEO's.

I find it instersting that we have two teams whose nicknames are colors.  It's common within the Ivies, but how often does it happen in the NC$$ tourney.
