As you all no doubt know by now, Cornell pounded Columbia in men's basketball on YES Saturday night.
The Big Red put a mild scare into Duke recently, too.
Let the word go forth from this time and place: Cornell is going to win the Ivy League title for the first time since 1988, when Arizona lucked out in a first-round NCAA Tournament game and won, 90-50.
Remember where you read it first.

Only a midnight.
I still remember the headline I had to write in Baltimore's Sun for that 1988 debacle: "Arizona routs Cornell, 90-50, believes it should have played better." Oy.
Go Big Red! Like clockwork -- every twenty years!
(I like the way you went out on a limb and waited until Princeton and Penn were a combined 8-24 before making your prediction!)
And, what ever happened to Kenny Bantum and John Bajusz?
Neil, I salute your semi-bold prediction, and join you in the ranks of former Daily Sun Sports Editors who are picking the Big Red to take it to Birmingham (site of first-round games) this season.
