Below, some news and notes around the Ivy League.
The Daily Pennsylvanian updates its readers on the summer workouts of the Penn Quakers.
In scheduling news, Yale becomes the third Ivy school to release its schedule for 2009-2010. Brown and Princeton previously released their schedules earlier this month. While the Bulldogs schedule is not exactly soft, it is not all that challenging either. Yale will face UConn in the Preseason NIT with the other highlight games coming in the form of visits to Providence, Colorado and Colorado State.
The Yale schedule looks somewhat soft in comparison to Cornell's, which is projected to include games at Syracuse, Kansas, Alabama, La Salle, and UMass and home games versus Seton Hall and St. Joseph's. Cornell will also face Davidson in Madison Square Garden in December (and possibly St. John's in a second game in the Garden).
Mark Gilbride, an assistant coach at Yale was named the new head coach at Clarkson University.
Andy Katz of ESPN reports that Mississippi State, Siena and Seton Hall all need one more game for their 2009-2010 schedules. Cornell wanted to host Siena this season, but the Saints declined. Cornell will host Seton Hall on November 20.
Penn's coach Glen Miller announced on his Twitter page that the Quaker coaching staff will have watched their 20th day of basketball in July today - almost 600 games in 14 different cities. Now that is impressive.
