Below, some news and notes. Above, Cornell's Adam Wire defended by Harvard's Jeremy Lin.- Barry Leonard, Cornell's play-by-play announcer had an opportunity to sit down and interview Sentator Bill Bradley last night. The interview will air during halftime of one of Cornell's men's basketball games this season.
- The Cornell Daily Sun briefly mentions Cornell's new captains:
M. Basketball Names Tri-Captains
Three seniors will step up to share the captain title for the men’s basketball team in 2009-10, head coach Steve Donahue announced on Tuesday: center Jeff Foote and forwards Alex Tyler and Jon Jacques, who serves on the Sun’s editorial writing board. Foote and Tyler are two of the five returning starters from last year, and Jacques has been a vocal leader on the team and played in 13 games last season.
Foote is the reigning Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year after posting 7.2 rebounds per game and 2.1 blocks per game, both Ivy League-leading figures. He also bulked up in offseason while playing in the Howard Pulley Summer Pro League in St. Paul, Minn. — up to 265 from 245.
Tyler is a three-year starter at the power forward position, and shot 50 percent from the floor last season. His 6-7, 235 pound-frame provides a reliable post presence for the Red.
- The New Jersey Star Ledger notes that Seton Hall, whose full schedule was released Thursday, "will play only two non-conference games against opponents in last season's RPI top 125: Temple (33) and Cornell (115)."
