Cornell Basketball in the News: Steve Donahue to Hire Izzi Metz
The Boston Globe reports:Boston College basketball coach Steve Donahue is in Florida on a recruiting mission, but apparently he is ready to fill the opening on his staff created when associate head coach Joe Jones left the Eagles last month to take over as the head coach at Boston University. According to BC and Ivy League sources, Donahue is going to dip into the Ivy League pool once again and hire Hobart coach Izzi Metz. Metz spent five years at Cornell as Donahue's assistant before taking over the head job at Hobart in 2006. Although nothing is official, Donahue will probably shuffle the priorities on his staff and move Nat Graham into an associate head coach's role and then slide Metz into a position, perhaps as Director of...

A Date in Cornell Basketball History: Cornell at Illinois
A December 19, 2011 trip to Illinois as a tribute return home game for Cornell senior, Chris Wroblewski (Highland Park, IL) is among the highlights for Cornell's 2011-2012 schedule. The two teams do have some history, facing each other in 1932, 1939, 1948 and 1961. The last game was certainly the most memorable for Cornell.

Cornell finished the season 18-7 under head coach Sam MacNeil. The Cornell Daily Sun (below) published the news of Cornell's big Illinois win in the first issue following the winter break for studen...

Kenner League Report
This year's Kenner League (aka Nike Pro City) action has been good with a lot of famous alum from area universities joining in. George Mason '08 alum Folarin Campbell made an appearance this weekend and played for Town Tavern along side Anali Okoloji. Campbell finished Saturday with 22 points and Okoloji scored 17, 11 of which came from the free-throw line as he was "aggressively attacking the hole". Really what we want to hear about Okoloji but it's unfortunate we won't get to see him this upcoming season. Overall Okoloji has looked good and he has a lot of potential to grow this season as he watches from the sidelines and takes everything in. Among the others who have looked good at this year's Kenner league is freshman Corey Edwards. The phrase "true point...
