Cuse Country on Cornell

CuseCountry.com has the following to say about Tuesday night's game between No. 9/10 Syracuse and Cornell.

It’s great to know that our dominance in NYC has been rewarded. But let’s hope that this doesn’t get too much into the heads of the players. It is going to be on Boeheim (and hopefully having smart seniors like Rautins and Onuaku will help) to make sure they are mentally prepared for tomorrow night’s Cornell game. The Big Red have already shown themselves to be a dangerous team, toppling Alabama and UMass. They are senior-laden (unlike the teams we faced in NYC) and won’t be intimidated by the Dome or the zone, having faced both plenty of times in the past few seasons. In fact, they gave SU a huge scare last year, taking a large early lead and holding it through much of the evening before ultimately falling by 10. Despite being a New York State team whose name begins with C, don’t confuse these guys with Columbia (Nov 27) or Colgate (Nov 30). This is a real solid team with real players and we will have to take them real seriously.
