Connecticut? Connecticut?
The NCAA selection committees continue to insult the upstart Cornell men and women by patronizing them with inferior first-round challenges.
First, it was the men against the eggheads from Stanford.
Now this: A matchup Sunday for the Cornell women against Geno Auriemma's overrated UConn squad. In Bridgeport, Conn.
The Big Red women laugh in the face of this alleged challenge and already are studying tape of Texas and Minnesota for their second-around matchup.
(And don't forget: The only No. 16 seed victory over a No. 1 in tournament history was an Ivy League squad, Harvard, in 1998, over . . . Stanford.)

Cornell-Rutgers in the Greensboro Regional final... Book it, Neill!
On a semi-related note, any indication of what games the metropolitan area will be getting Thursday on the WCBS-2?
My gueses:
Early afternoon: Michigan State-Temple
Late afternoon: Marquette-Kentucky
Early evening: Southern Cal-Kansas State
Late evening: Notre Dame-Goerge Mason (although WVU-Arizona is the better matchup)
Thanks--

It was with great reluctance that I didn't choose my alma mater to win in the first round, but it warms my heart to see that Cornell actually does have a fan.
Are we going to make any bets involving Cornell winning and the Brooklyn Bridge????
Wow...Anti-ND comment, how original
The West Virginia-Arizona game is a much better matchup than ND-Winthrop (not G. Mason, oops).
It had little to do with the non-entity from northern Indiana
Show some guts, NKR! I got the Big Red going to the Sweet 16.
I may not win the pool, but I could be the only person in America to get that right. That's a chance I can't pass up.
