Cornell Basketball on the "Greatest Stage in the World"

Davidson announced its 2009-2010 schedule this week. Below is an excerpt referencing Cornell.

Davidson will play in the Holiday Festival, the nation’s longest-running holiday tournament, Dec. 20-21, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Cornell, Hofstra and St. John’s join Davidson in the tournament, and the Wildcats will take on Cornell in their first contest, their first meeting in school history against the Big Red.

It will be a homecoming for [Davidson coach, Bob] McKillop, who played high school basketball at Chaminade on Long Island and college basketball at Hofstra. He began his coaching career at Holy Trinity High School and coached at Long Island Lutheran before coming to Davidson in 1989.

“Madison Square Garden is perhaps the greatest stage in the world, and this will provide a significant challenge for us as we continue to work towards being a consistently successful program,” said McKillop.
