Cornell NCAA Basketball

Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere, I have a few hundred unread messages - do we have any idea with any measure of certainty whether Cornell vs. Wisconsin will be on CBS or CBS-HD rather than having to find it on DirecTV?  I am otherwise committed until this game will be over, and I'm DVRing.  :-/

WCBS in NYC has the Cornell game listed on their website.

They will probably cut in and out since there are three other games going on: Georgia Tech v. Ohio State at 2:20 PM EDT, Michigan State v. Maryland at 2:30 PM, and Missouri v. West Virginia at 2:40 PM.

They are likely to stick with Cornell - Wisconsin unless it turns into a blowout with the exception of a possible check in to the other games if there is the possibility of an exciting finish.

I didn't mean to imply they would give up on Cornell-Wisconsin and completely switch to another game.  And with the halftime lead Cornell has I'm sure they will stick with it.  But if the lead stays around 10 points I won't be surprised if they cut away for five minutes or so.  During the Temple game I went online when they cut away.

edit: And I told you so. :-)  CBS cuts to Ohio State and Ga. Tech. for the end of that game (Ohio State by 6 1:20 to go).

Who would imagine cutting away from the Cornell because it's a blow that *Cornell* was the team on the up side? Amazing. Good thing the webcast keeps going.

The webcast can't go on forever.  It's over!!

87-69!!!!

Not quite like Princeton's style in the mid-90's- winning only if they kept the other team below 50 or so.

Congratulations to the team!  Never in my lifetime did I expect this to happen...

Another funny story of the basketball team messing with the media.

Louis Dale dropped a quote from "Friday Night Lights" into an answer at the postgame news conference:

"We've got eight seniors on this team, and we want to take this ride as long as we can because after this it's just nothing but babies and memories, so we'll just keep going," Dale said.

They'll need some bigtime luck if they're going to beat Kentucky.  I think Temple and Wisconsin were ideal matchups from the standpoint of team athleticism.  Kentucky has 4 NBA lottery picks on their team and they have great guards which hurt Cornell in their losses to Cuse and Seton Hall.

I guess it's remotely possible, but it would undoubtedly be the biggest upset in NCAA history.

I disagree with none of this except the sad-sack demeanor and "biggest upset." It won't even be the biggest upset in the tournament - that would be Ohio over Georgetown - much less the biggest upset in history. (Richmond over Syracuse? Hampton over Iowa State?)

game is on Thursday, 9:57pm btw.

Anyone know if the CU ticket office will have an allotment available tomorrow?

Incredible weekend from the basketball team. They didn't just get to the Sweet 16; they flat out dominated their competition.

But they should not look past this Wildcat team; they are very talented and it wouldn't surprise me to see them give the Big Red a run for their money.

I call it the biggest upset because 1)  Kentucky was the #1 team or around the top 3 in the NCAA for the entire year, 2) they have a team of at least 4 NBA lottery picks, Cornell has none, 3) Cornell is a 12 seed, Kentucky is a 1 seed, 4) it's a Sweet 16 game, so it carries more weight than your average 2/15, 1/16 meeting in the first round.  I could keep going, but I won't.  If Cornell wins, it will go down as one of the biggest upsets in NCAA history, maybe not the biggest, but one of them.  They might have to make a movie about it.

Considering they already played with Kansas earlier in the year, and Kansas was a higher seed than Kentucky, I don't think it is remotely out of line to think Cornell can also play with Kentucky.  With the right bounces and some good shooting, I think it is very reasonable to think the Big Red can beat the Big Blue.  

For some reason, you insist on being completely negative in every one of your posts.  You gave them no chance against either of the teams they just dominated, so I don't expect you to give them a chance now.

Even you might think Cornell would do well against your Lobos now.  Maybe this is why you are exhibiting such an insecurity complex.
