Does anyone know if the rumor that Duke will face Cornell next year is true?
Why? I would think K might want to help out Tommy by giving him a high-visibility game. Lots of coaches do that for their former players and assistants.

I hear that they are on the rise again. Go Big Red!
Cornell had bad luck last year - their best player, Gore, was injured first game of the season for the remainder of the year (they won that game, by the way, at Northwestern... Northwestern does suck but that's an impressive win by Cornell's standards). They did end up with the Ivy Freshman of the Year though for the second straight year in Wittman (Gore was last year's FOY), and were in the mix for the Ivy League Title even without Gore. With Wittman and Gore playing together next year, Cornell should compete seriously for the Ivy's NCAA tournament bid, especially when Penn's losses are taken into consideration.
So... playing Cornell is a great idea. Could end up being a better win than most would think.
Why dont we play Ithaca College then for Paulus lol.Paulus is from Syracuse, 45 minutes away from Ithaca. There is a possibility Coach K may want to play up there for Greg's friends/family in upstate NY. I guess K could schedule the Orangemen in the Dome. But a game at Cornell is fairly close to where he grew up and a virtual guarantee win for the Blue Devils.
In a TV interview I saw after Tommy was hired at Harvard, he was asked if he would be playing Duke. His answer was very emphatically "NO!"
Are we talking about Adam Gore, if so i know who he is (\my dad coached him in highschool).

This is a game Cornell plays annually with Ithaca to raise money for cancer research.
