That's now three of four where Cornell was just flat out beaten in every facet of the game. Hard to believe this team opened the second half of the Ivy season playing Princeton for sole possession for first place.
Cornell is not beating anyone who is any good if they aren't winning the TO battle and finishing net +10 on points off turnovers. That's the one thing they have been able to do on D.
Cornell should still have enough to beat Columbia in Ithaca (in NYC, who knows?) and Yale is favored to beat Brown and has an incentive, so sneaking into the ILT is still possible. But I can't see these guys beating Yale on a neutral court right now. Do any of the 3rd tier post-season tournaments still exist?

The CIT is dead--but the CBI still exists. And if that is not exciting enough, it is sponsored by Roman.

And they play all their games in Daytona Beach! I feel there is connection there.
I remember the Basketball Classic scrambling for teams last year. Considering the teams that eventually played in that piece of nonsense, I've always wondered if the Big Red passed. 15-11 isn't anything special, but they were taking sub .500 MEAC teams. I wouldn't have blamed Earl if he said "Nah, we'll pass."

It's hard to believe any mid-major would pay $50,000 to enter a tournament where you don't get a home game.
