Kentucky-Cornell

[Sooner23]

Really looking forward to this one tonight. David meets Goliath in the Sweet 16. The only thing is Cornell isn't really David. If I remember correctly, when they played Kansas in Lawrence this year they led a good portion of that game.

This game is also being played in Syracuse, which is 55 minutes from where Cornell is in Ithaca. I read one article where they think they could have 20,000 plus fans there.

Will be interesting to see how this turns out.

Really excited for this game, would love a Big Red victory.

On the other hand, UK is playing lights out right now...what they did to Wake Forest was criminal.

Goliath was the giant.

Goliath was the giant.

Good point. :ez-laugh:

 

[SoonersRule]

Kentucky by 15 points, the run ends tonight. Kentucky has 4 lottery picks, and physical teams dominate Cornell.

BTW, I think Cornell would have destroyed Wake as well by 25.

Cornell Drains Fun Out Of Cinderella Run By Explaining How On A Long Enough Timeline The Improbable Becomes Probable

SYRACUSE, NY—Despite overcoming long odds as the lowest seed remaining in the NCAA Tournament, Cornell's basketball team had on Wednesday squandered most of its underdog goodwill by using every opportunity to explain that, given a finite set of possible outcomes and a sufficient period of time, the sheer quantity of opportunities available to accomplish an improbable outcome makes its achievement likely if not almost certain. "It'd be foolish to ascribe any of the properties of a pan-dimensional function space to the NCAA Tournament," said Cornell center Jeff Foote, who has averaged 14 points per game in the first two rounds. "However, bear in mind that we're not talking about a null probability space. With eight teams in the Ivy League and 65 in the tournament, you eventually run out of possible permutations. One could even make the case for historical inevitability; we won, so we were always going to win. I think my good friend Baron d'Holbach would agree—that's decidedly nonzero. Decidedly." Foote excused himself after the interview upon receiving a fifth rejection-of-transfer letter from Harvard.

I think Cornell gets torched, but I'll be pulling for them like crazy.

This.

Pisssed that Cornell is up against UK as the 1 seed. They could beat Duke and give most every other team left in the tourney a run for their money but UK is the kind of team that can run them off the court with their length and athleticism. I think the only way Cornell can hang with them is if they shoot an insane % from 3 land, which they have been but not against the size that UK will have coming out against them.

We're getting Xavier-Kansas State here in OKC on CBS and not Cornell-Kentucky. Damn it.

I understand why that is the case with us being in Big 12 country and all, but it's time CBS started finding a sister network to show both of these games on in the Sweet 16 round. This sucks every year. I know I can watch it online, but I want it on my big screen in HD.

I can't wait for ESPN to take over the TV rights of this thing.

Just watch one game online one on TV that's what I've been doing all tournament. I'm rooting for all upsets. I hope we have some strange type of Final Four like Cornell vs St. Marys and Xavier vs Northern Iowa that nobody would really want to watch. It would be a great ending to a miserable season.
