Cornell men’s basketball is off to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament after defeating the University of Wisconsin 87-69. Ivy League player of the year Ryan Wittman had 24 points. All final stats are here. The Big Red’s next game will be on March 25 in nearby Syracuse, providing the team with what will basically be a home game against powerhouse and number 1 seed in the Eastern Region University of Kentucky.
This is quite the feat for an Ivy League basketball squad. While Kentucky is the class of college basketball, the proximity of Syracuse to Ithaca may give Cornell a fighting chance (better crowd, less travel).
