Well that was unpleasant
Cornell looked nothing like a team that had won 16 straight games going into the NCAA tournament by getting absolutely humiliated by Stanford. I don't think I've ever seen a game where a team shot 16% in a half. Now I can't say I was expecting Cornell to win, but I was expecting them to put up a much better showing than they did. After all, they had held their own against Syracuse and Duke on their home courts, and even beat a Siena team that had beaten Stanford early in the season.
As bad as it was (and believe me - it was *bad*), it still wasn't the worst performance by a team that day. That distinction belongs to Kent St., who scored 10 points and had 17 turnovers in the first half against UNLV.
