Rooting my heart out for the Cornell Big Red to pull off this upset as it would be terrific for the League. Nothing but the best to Coach Donahue, wherever he coaches, always.
I can remember when Penn played Div. I basketball and would enjoy immensely living vicariously through any Cornell success in the 2010 Madness.
Best of luck and success to you in the coming 20 minutes; May The Force Be With You!

If Fran stays with the exciting "let's not contest any shots on D and only shoot threes on offense" strategy, Cornell will win.

It's funny -- Penn kind of won with the let the Big 3 get theirs' and stop everybody else strategy. Temple seems to have taken that to the extreme.

P.S.--by the way, where was Penn coach Fran Dunphy when Wittman, Dale and Foote were in high school???

Good for Cornell. Certainly the best Ivy team since the late 90s and they're playing like it.

Temple has been a step late on switches all game and the Cornell seniors are playing fantastic. Dale is making up for his poor tournament games with a tremendous all-around game so far. And Donahue, who's also having a tremendous game, is coaching himself into a BIG pay raise.

If Temple fouls the rest of the way, Cornell could win this by 30.

I guess this turned out to be a bad matchup for Temple 
Looks like Jay Bilas' statement that "Cornell can make a deep run" doesn't look so crazy anymore.

3:57 to go, and counting.....could this REALLY happen??? When I saw the seedings, my reaction was that the Committee wanted to dispatch Cornell in as expeditious a manner as possible, and contrived this matchup to serve that purpose.

The only downer in this is that you have to feel for Fran. Keeps on breaking his own inauspicious NCAA record.
Another plus--this should make the powers that be appreciate what Jerome did against this team in the Palestra even more

They must not have looked at Dunphy's tournament record.

From the score, they are making Temple look terrible. What's up with that?

Temple never really threatened and Cornell utterly dominated. If you were color blind, you would have sworn that Cornell was the 5 seed and Temple the 12 seed
