Cornell...Ever Heard of It?

Hey guys. If you are not a fan of "The Office" the title of my post is a phrase from the character Andy Bernard. He graduated from Cornell and every time he mentions the school he says, "Cornell, ever heard of it?"

I also graduated from Cornell and seen them in person 10 times this year. Does that make me an expert? No it does not. But I do know what kind of teams they can play with and Temple is that kind of team. The Owls are very good but they play low-scoring games and that is perfect for the Big Red.

Do you realize Cornell has played only one really poor game all year long? That was a no show against lowly Penn. Those things just happen some times. They gave Kansas everything they wanted on the road and even though Syracuse beat them by 15 it was a 6-point game at the half.

This game is going to be really, really tight. One of those physical, low scoring affairs. I can see it being 56-55 with 10 seconds left. Four points in this game is huge in my humble opinion.

I admit that this is a homer play but I wouldn't put money on the game if I thought Cornell had no shot. I think they match up well with Temple and I'm going to take the points in this one. This is the only wager I will be making in the first round as I'm too busy breaking down hockey games right now. I will leave the rest to you guys and sit back and enjoy the other games.

My Play:

Cornell Big Red +4 $500

I will also put a little on the Cornell ML when it comes out. Comments and feedback are more than welcomed. Thanks and best of luck to all of you during March Madness.

I have heard of Coryell.  San Diego had a potent passing attack when he was the coach.  And I think he occasionally fancied a Big Red soda after the game.

Yeah, that's the school who's coach was taught by the Temple coach right?

I will take the Master ,not the pupil in the EX UPenn match up.

So kansas and kentucky can get better but cornell cant? That game was jan6. Not december and not over 3 months ago. It was AT ALLEN FIELDHOUSE. Other than cameron how many place are tougher to play at? None. Big 12 teams dont stay within 15 teams there. Cornell is good

Cornell is a good team but this is not a good match up for them!

Is the A-10 a "Major Conf " now that they get more teams in than the P-10? I think it should be.

It is kinda funny how everyone loves Cornell.

I think that they were down over 20pts @ Cuse makes up for the "Close lose" to KU.

And please, with the Cameron Indoor talk. Tell me when they start putting "real teams" on sched there. Like the Refs don't help enough.

Zoot- Everyone does that in Lax now. Its all about time poss. Its made face off men even more important. Thats what really killed them.

Big Red did their job though, Pukies out before Finals ...AGAIN!!

absolutely was daydreaming today of a new office episode with andy going APESHIT because of this and then got sad when I realized how far in advance they film.  But good times

Im definitely leaning Cornell ML  over Wisconsin right now. That team can shoot, and even has some inside game as well! Tough game for Wisky!
