News and Notes: Afternoon Edition

In 2008, Cornell clinched the Ivy title in Ithaca with a win over Harvard. A mad court storm ensued while the Harvard players ran for the lockers. How will it end tonight?

Below, some news and notes for Saturday afternoon.

  • CollegeInsider.com tweets, "MUST SEE GAME: Harvard (14-3) at Cornell (17-3). Nothing less than 1st place in the Ivy League is on the line tonight."
  • The Cornell Daily Sun tweets, "Jeremy Lin & the Harvard Crimson come to town tonight, in a game that many analysts agree could end up determining this year's Ivy champ."
  • In previewing tonight's game, CollegeHoopsNet.com writes, "the Game of the Year (so far) in the Ivy League with Harvard taking on Cornell in what should be an entertaining affair. Both took care of inferior opponents on Friday night and in Jeremy Lin (Harvard) and Ryan Wittman (Cornell), two of the better players you don't see on ESPN every night will be on display. But don't forget about the Big Red's seven-footer, Jeff Foote, who can score and rebound inside to relieve some of the pressure on Wittman and Louis Dale on the perimeter. These are the two best offensive and defensive teams in the Ivy League; it's not even close when looking at the numbers. The winner, which will likely be decided by which team controls the boards (Harvard leads the league in rebounding margin), will assume early control of the title race."
