New York Times rides with Cornell Hoops

Whoa.  Last I checked, there were still 6 games remaining on the schedule and the lead in the standings is 2 games.  I've seen crazier things happen, and Cornell sports have had the unfortunate habit of getting my hopes up and crashing them at the most inopportune time.

Let's just take care of business first, one cliche at a time.[/quote]I don't think Bill was saying it's a foregone conclusion, just that IF Cornell wins it, well, better us getting the cup of coffee in the tournament than Penn or Princeton.

A similar type of story about a small school in Mississippi. I know that the nytimes article portrayed Cornell as a bit of a "have-not" in the sense that they had to ride a bus, but I think we can all pretty much agree that the players at Alcorn State have it much worse.
