Cornell is down this year?[/quote]

They lost to Villanova (who isn't that good). They lost to Penn State (not a terrible loss, top 20 team). They lost to Stony Brook by 12. They have to win some non-conference games to make the tournament. Or they have to clean up in the Ivy. Are they going to beat Penn, Dartmouth or Princeton?

They win Thor win 2 of thos and they could make it.. otherwise it's a down year.

Down? Compared to what? When have they ever been up? Cornell is about where they always are. SBU was up 12 - 0 in the first half... it was a running clock the entire 2nd half. Penn State is a Top 20 program but they "are down this year" PSU not a Top 20 Team this year.

When you say "Cornell is down this year" you are implying that they are consistently "up" or strong. Cornell is a mid tier program having what would be considered a normal year. Not a knock, just reality.
