...Crimson returns to the scene of the crime. Clinging to a four-point lead with under two minutes left against the Big Red in Ithaca last season, and with both Matt Stehle ‘06 and Brian Cusworth ‘06-07 having fouled out, Harvard watched as Cornell extracted the life from its season. Captain Lenny Collins nailed two huge threes to tie the game, then shot up an air ball on the final possession, which somehow found the hands of forward Jason Hartford, who put in the open layup for the win. That loss...
...conquers the Green in Ithaca, as Cornell finishes the year on an upswing and begins looking forward to a stacked title contender...
...road this weekend to cap off another year in the middle of the pack of the Ivy League. Fresh off its 50-43 victory over Princeton last Saturday night, which snapped a five-game losing streak, the sixth-place Crimson will face Cornell (15-11, 8-4 Ivy) in Ithaca, N.Y at 7 p.m. tonight. Tomorrow, Harvard will head to New York City to take on Columbia (14-12, 5-7 Ivy) in its season finale. The Crimson’s last meeting with Cornell ended successfully, when sophomore forward Evan Harris’ layup with 0.8 seconds remaining gave...
Easily the most exciting matchup of the weekend. Two weeks ago in Ithaca, the Big Red eked out a 60-59 squeker when Bulldog forward Casey Hughes missed two free throws with two seconds left.

Unfortunately for Yale, Hughes has also been the team’s best frontcourt player and without him, the Bulldogs will be undermanned against big Cornell center Andrew Naeve...
...course, Cornell can stave off the Tigers on Friday. Assuming that happens, this contest becomes enormous for both teams, but especially huge for Cornell, which would control its own destiny in the Ivies by beating the Quakers. It doesn’t seem likely, considering Penn shellacked Cornell in Ithaca earlier in the year, but the learning curve for the Big Red’s stellar freshman has been steep. One of those frosh, guard Ryan Wittman--son of Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Randy--will show off his basketball bloodline with a late dagger from deep to stun the Quakers...
