That's right!  It's time for every jackass with a cell phone to sit behind home plate waving his arms for 9 innings!

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.

Unfortunately for me, the Cornell Big Red will be playing their first round NCAA tournament game in Anaheim against Stanford.  Oh well.  I was hoping for a matchup within driving distance - Birmingham or Raleigh would have been nice.

If you haven't seen this already, check out the story on Cornell player (and Atlanta native) Khaliq Gant.  He was paralyzed diving for a ball in practice two years ago, and has recovered to the point where he can walk without a cane.  He now is back at Cornell and lifts weights with the team and serves as the team's manager.
