The Cornell Basketball Blog's Favorite Photos From '08-'09

The '08-'09 season opener was on Nov. 14 against South Dakota and Cornell's student section, "Newman Nation" was out in full force.

Tyler defends against St. John's on Nov. 17 in the NIT Season Tip Off on the campus of Boston College.

Alex Tyler has a tendency to knock bodies around. He does so here on Nov. 22 at Siena.

And sometimes Tyler likes to throw his own body down. As he does here on Nov. 22 at Indiana in Assembly Hall.

Ryan Wittman defends against the Hoosiers. His father, Randy was an Indiana legend. Ryan put on quite a show in dad's old gym with 28 p0ints and 5 rebounds.

Wittman topped his Indiana game performance with 33 points (including 9 three-pointers) at Syracuse on Dec. 3.

Many felt the Sryacuse game was a coming out party for Chris Wroblewski. Matched up against NBA lottery pick, Johnny Flynn, Wroblewski finished with 9 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals (against just 1 turnover).

Wittman had 21 points and 5 rebounds on his return home to Minneapolis against the Minnesota Gophers on Dec. 6.

Jeff Foote had four thunderous dunks against Boston University on Dec. 29 and finished with 19 points and 12 rebounds.

Louis Dale missed most of the nonconference schedule due to a hamstring injury. He showed up at the Ivy home opener on Jan. 24 against Columbia sporting a Mohawk. The new haircut did not take away from his ability to cut corners on a dime. Lou finished with 14 points and 5 rebounds.

Geoff Reeves also had 14 and 5 against the Lions, including this tomahawk dunk.

By Ivy play, Adam Wire established himself firmly in the rotation. Wire plays all four corners of the court with intensity and grit.

Coaches Steve Donahue, Zach Spiker, Nat Graham and Woody Kampmann lead the Big Red.

Louis Dale, the Ivy League's version of Chris Paul.

Dale makes it look so effortless against Yale.

Foote led the Ivy League in dunks and he lays one down here on Harvard.

This photo needs no description for true Ivy League fans.

The Associated Press captured Foote's celebration after the Big Red knocked off Penn on Mar. 6 and captured Cornell's second consecutive Ivy League title and NCAA Tournament bid.
