Is this game on national TV?

Is this game on national TV?

It's on ESPN360, but they don't list any other ESPN channels. My guess is that it's on their Full Court package.

In related news, Cornell is up 3 with 6:14 to go.

Now coverage on ESPN during our halftime.

As Bilas stated, this is indicative that there are no real great teams this year.

Kind of glad we don't have Cornell on the schedule this year.

No matter the outcome of this game, Cornell is a really good team. The battle between Cornell and Harvard for the Ivy League title will be a good one, and I could see either team being in the 7-10 seed range in the tourney.

Kansas now up 1 with 3:30 to go.

Cornell is not a team that anyone wants to play come the NCAA tournament. They have 2 years of experience in the tourney are are just plain good this year, even without winning these types of games. They are building the textbook blueprint for a Cinderella team come March. Harvard is the only team that will give them a run for their money, but I can't see anybody taking down Cornell in the Ivy.

Anybody else find that Kansas announcer really annoying. I'm pretty sure that he had never watched a basketball game before in his life because of how easily impressed he was. WOW!

[diveonthefloor]

Cornell is #46 in the Sagarin ratings (before tonight's close loss).

They are ranked ahead of Cincy, Zavier, Washington, OK State, and Louisville among others.

I'd hate to meet them in the tourney, but it would be a great matchup for TV.

The selection committee is going to remember this game. It is potentially Cornell's ticket into the tournament if both Harvard and Cornell go 13-1 in conference and Harvard wins the playoff.

[hc5duke]

9 seniors? can cornell even field a team next year?

[CameronCrazy'11]

When people see IVY, they immediately assume the team is pretty bad, but this Cornell team is not. They are much better than a lot of mid-majors, and a lot of teams from BCS conferences too. This is not nearly as embarrassing a game for Kansas as it seems. Don't scratch them out of your final four bracket just yet.

Interesting story on how Jeff Foote came to be on the Cornell team:

Yeah, Cornell is flat tough and mean. They contested every shot and Kansas was soft looking to avoid contact. Kansas shot horribly and only scraped by by strapping the team to Sherron Collins' back. The bigs were awful. Cornell was really good through 35 minutes.
