Red-White Game on Saturday


ITHACA, N.Y. -- Fans of the Cornell men's basketball team will get an opportunity for a first look at the 2011-12 Big Red when the team holds its annual Red-White Scrimmage on Saturday, Oct. 22 at 4 p.m. in Newman Arena. The first 100 fans will receive a Cornell basketball t-shirt.

Cornell, in its second year under head coach Bill Courtney, returns four starters and 11 letter winners from last season's 10-18 squad that placed fifth in the Ivy League. The Big Red won six of its final nine contests, including a sweep of Penn and a win over Yale. That team lost 10 contests by five points or less, including games to eventual NCAA tournament teams Boston University and Princeton, nationally ranked Minnesota and postseason qualifier St. Bonaventure. Included among the team's victories was one over Big South champion and NCAA tournament participant Wofford.

Teams will be selected and the format will be announced later in the week.
