News and Notes: Cornell is No.11... for now.

A few more quick hitters of afternoon news and notes before tonight's big game against UMass (ever heard of it?)...
  • Jeff Goodman of FoxSports writes:

    The SEC will be fine. There's a reason why Alabama and Georgia both made coaching changes this past offseason – and why Auburn's Jeff Lebo has been on the so-called hot seat for what seems like as long as he's been the Tigers' head coach. None of the three programs have enough SEC-caliber talent...Anthony Grant and Mark Fox, the coaches at Alabama and Georgia, both inherited teams with virtually one high-level SEC player. The Crimson Tide has in-state big man JaMychal Green ...So, it's not all that shocking Alabama lost to Cornell last week and Georgia went down against Wofford on Tuesday night...Can the Ivy League favorites, Cornell, follow up a win at Alabama with a victory at UMass?"
  • Penn has at least one positive going for them this season after two blowout losses and a potentially serious injury to their star Tyler Bernardini. Award winning actor, Denzel Washington has appeared at both of Penn's games to watch his son Malcolm play for the Quakers. Will
Harvard
2008-09 Record: 14-14 (6-8 Ivy League)
Projected starters: Jeremy Lin (17.8 ppg, 5.5 rpg); Doug Miller (6.1 ppg, 3.6 rpg); Oliver McNally (5.9 ppg, 2.3 rpg); Keith Wright (8.0 ppg, 5.5 rpg); Peter Boehm (6.1 ppg, 1.9 rpg).
Best home game: Feb. 19, Cornell
Outlook: Entering his third season at Harvard, Tommy Amaker has a team with plenty of options and poised to break into the league’s upper echelon, which likely will be dominated by Cornell. Play-maker Lin will need to make his teammates better by becoming a better leader. Lin will have help in the backcourt with the return of McNally and a solid frontcourt led by Miller and Wright.
