WVBR to air Cornell basketball
Cornell University men's basketball games will be broadcast live on 93.5 WVBR-FM this season, the athletic department announced Friday.
All 31 of the Big Red's regular-season games and any postseason games will be called by longtime announcer Barry Leonard. The broadcasts are also available as part of the RedCast subscription service.
"Cornell basketball has a long tradition of being heard in the Ithaca area on WVBR-FM, and we're excited that the campus will have that opportunity again this season," coach Steve Donahue said. "We look forward to an exciting season and continuing this partnership."
The men's basketball team returns the core of players that have led the Big Red to consecutive Ivy League championships. Two-time first-team all-league selections Louis Dale and Ryan Wittman, reigning conference Defensive Player of the Year Jeff Foote, senior starters Geoff Reeves and Alex Tyler and 2008-09 Ivy League Rookie of the Year Chris Wroblewski highlight Cornell's returners.
The Big Red had a 21-10 record last season. This year's schedule includes Alabama, Syracuse, Seton Hall and Kansas.
WVBR-FM broadcasts classic and modern rock as well as local news, sports and entertainment. The station reaches seven counties in Central New York. Broadcasts also are available at www.wvbr.com.
