Above, Cornell's Alex Tyler and Anthony Gatlin go head to head during the Red-White scrimmage. While Cornell kicks off its season on Saturday, five Ivy teams will "get it going" on Friday night.
Among Ivies, only Columbia does not play a game this weekend and out of ten games this weekend involving Ivy teams, only one will be on the home court of an Ivy League school. But even more notable, Dartmouth (at Boston College), Penn (at Penn State), Brown (at Virginia Tech) and Cornell (at Alabama) all present opportunities for Ivies to earn "signature wins" over BCS conference opponents. For Cornell, the trip to Alabama is the start of its Heaven's Eleven--what we at The Cornell Basketball Blog are calling the span of eleven heavenly (or hellish) days, depending on your perspective, between November 14 through November 24, wherein Big Red will square off against four tough opponents in Alabama, UMass, Seton Hall and Syracuse.
Below is another look at the Ivies in action this weekend.
