News and Notes

Below, some news and and notes. Above, ESPN listed Cornell's defeat to Seton Hall as a "missed opportunity" for the Big Red.

• Cornell is mentioned quite prominently on this week's Weekly Watch on ESPN.com. The site writes with respect to Cornell:

Missed Opportunity... Cornell: The Big Red had started the season with great road wins for an Ivy League team at Alabama and UMass. But neither of those teams will be in the NCAA tournament. Seton Hall might be and the Big Red missed their chance to secure a win over a Big East team when they lost to the Pirates at home, 89-79.

Wins That Will Matter In March

Syracuse, N.Y., (Tuesday): Cornell won at Alabama and UMass, but dropped a home game to Seton Hall. If the Big Red want to improve its seeding -- and possibly its at-large chances should they not win the Ivy -- then winning at upstart Syracuse would be a major accomplishment.

• On Sunday we posted additional game recap articles from Friday night's Cornell-Seton Hall game, including those from the Ithaca Journal and Cornell Daily Sun. We also added a late addition of News and Notes which included a couple of videos.

• Gary Parrish of CBS Sports notes, "Alabama wasn't good enough to beat Cornell of the Ivy League but was good enough to snap the Big East's 41-game winning streak to start this season. They topped Providence 84-75 late Friday. Thus, the Big East is now 41-1."

• RushTheCourt selected Syracuse as its team of the week, but noted, "the Orange need to be careful not to let the honor of being RTC’s inaugural Team of the Week get to their heads though because their next game is at home against a very good Cornell team that much of the country doesn’t know about, but has already won on the road at Alabama and UMass." After defeating UMass, RTC noted, "Another solid road victory for the Big Red despite star Ryan Wittman making just one field goal. It was Louis Dale who stole the show with 24/4/4 stl on 4-9 from deep for Cornell that, with every non-conference win, keeps enhancing their future NCAA seed."

• “I’m so happy to be 2-1,” said UVM coach Mike Lonergan to the Burlington Free Press, whose team defeated Rutgers in the Legends Classic and will face Cornell in the subregional rounds in Philadelphia. “When we lost to Loyola, I’m thinking Buffalo is good, Rutgers, Providence, Drexel, Cornell ... When are we going to get a win? But now we are playing like the team I thought we could be, so we are going to go into Providence with confidence."

• Cornell may have lost to Seton Hall on Friday, but "March Madness All Day Long" picked Cornell to win 66-57.
