Below, some news and notes for Wednesday...- We just heard that Cornell fans can expect to see modified uniforms for the Big Red in 2011-2012. Above, a look at some of Cornell's jerseys during the last 113 years of Cornell basketball.
- Here is a little bit of early discussion on the upcoming season. With Cornell finishing 6-3 down the stretch during 2010-2011, losing only to the co-league champions, Princeton and Harvard, there is no reason to dismiss Cornell as a title contender entering 2011-2012. The Big Red return the bulk of the team's nucleus from last season and bring in the program's most decorated recruiting class since 1994. But even more important, Cornell became a better team as the year progressed during 2010-2011 as the team adjusted to the new new system installed under new head coach Bill Courtney.
- In the news, The Dartmouth writes, "The Princeton University men?s and women?s basketball teams earned bids to this year?s NCAA tournament. The 14-seeded Tigers men?s squad lost to four-seeded University of Kentucky on a last-second shot in the first round of the big dance by a score of 59-57, as reported by ESPN.com... Last year, the Cornell University men?s team advanced to the Sweet Sixteen round before falling to Kentucky, 62-45."
- Louis Dale ('10) and his Goettingen club of Germany's premier league, the Bundesliga, face Italy's Benetton Treviso today in the quarterfinals of the EuroCup.
And just when you thought there was no more basketball being played at Cornell's Newman Arena...
