Temple and No. 4-seed Wisconsin, which has now set up their Sweet 16 contest against No. 1-seed Kentucky. But it was one loss earlier this season that might have actually been Cornell’s biggest win, and put them in the category of a team not to be taken lightly: On Jan. 6, the Big Red lost on the road against then-top ranked Kansas 66-71 in Allen Fieldhouse, where the Jayhawks didn’t lose a single game all year. What might cost
PREDICTION: Outside
of the aforementioned starting five,
Cornell coach Donahue only gives one bench player, senior guard Geoff Reeves, significant minutes in close games. And with the amount of talent on the Wildcat team, it’s hard to see Cornell moving on.
Cornell against Kentucky is their lack of size and talent in the frontcourt. With standout 7-foot center Jeff Foote likely to match up against Cousins, starting Big Red forwards

Jon Jacques and Ryan Wittman might be too overmatched against their Kentucky counterparts. But should the Wildcats get into foul trouble, Cornell might gain the advantage down low and exploit Kentucky’s lack of frontcourt depth. What will ulti-
mately give Cornell any kind of shot at advancing to the Elite Eight and beyond is the play of point guard Louis
Dale. The senior scored in double figures in all but nine of Cornell’s games and has the eye of a true point guard who averaged nearly five assists per game this year and
always seems to find the open man when need be. He’ll have his hands full with either Wall or Bledsoe, but Dale can also give his opponents fits on the defensive end, tallying four steals in three separate games. If Dale can throw the Kentucky backcourt off, he might just be able to swing things in the Big Red’s favor. Dale’s backcourt mate, sophomore Chris
Wroblewski, is a streaky shooter who can score in bunches if he gets on a roll, evidenced by the six 3-pointers he buried against Syracuse on Nov. 24 at the Carrier Dome. At 6 feet, and Dale being 5-feet-11, they are both overmatched in stature, but at this point of the tournament, it’s all about will. And as Cornell has proved again and again, they’ve got a lot of it.
