Below, some news and notes for Tuesday...- Some news on Cornell's incoming recruits. Deion Giddens (Willow Canyon HS) Carefree, AZ, 6-9, C, scored 17 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and tallied 6 blocks on January 21 in a 69-55 defeat to Dear Valley. Devin Cherry (Meridian HS) Meridian, MS, 6-3, G, gets mention in the Clarion Ledger's ranking of the top 10 teams in Mississippi. Meridian is ranked No. 1. SportsInk.com gives its midseason awards and honors to some of Ohio's conferences and notes, "LAKE [CONFERENCE] MVP: Ned Tomic (North Royalton C). The senior center is a Cornell recruit, both for his center skills and his Ivy League smarts. The 6-7 pivot towers over his foes, but also outworks and outfoxes them. He is averaging 22.7 points and 13.6 rebounds on the year, including 21.6 points and 12.5 boards in Lake contests, where teams put multiple bodies on him at all times."
- Devilicious.com previews Thursday's Duke-Boston College game and notes, "Boston College?s new coach, Steve Donahue, made great use of the three-pointer at Cornell. The Big Red shocked everyone last season by reaching the Sweet 16 and a big reason was their 43% accuracy from long distance."
- The Ivy Gate blog writes, "I?m not really sure what else could have possibly been going on in Ithaca last Saturday afternoon, but the Big Red student section never showed for the Ivy home opener versus Columbia, and the Lions took full advantage of the tame atmosphere to finish off an impressive sweep of the defending champs 70-66. Point guard Brian Barbour led the Lions (11-5, 2-0) for the second straight week with 23 points, but this time he carried the offense alone, getting little help from Noruwa Agho, who struggled against a constant double team and was just 1-12 from the field. Cornell (4-12, 0-2) led for the first 28 minutes and controlled the tempo for most of the game, but could not muster the late magic to finish off the upstart Lions. Now being hyped as one of the three best teams in the league, Columbia will have the opportunity to prove it in a huge match-up at Harvard this Friday."
- Cornell RPI Watch: The RPI (Rating Percentage Index) is a measure of strength of schedule and how a team does against that schedule. It does not consider the margin of victory, but only whether or not a team won and where the game was played (home/away/neutral court). The formula is 25% team winning percentage (WP), 50% opponents' average winning percentage (OWP), and 25% opponents' opponents' average winning percentage (OOWP). (See: CollegeRPI.com for a further explanation of the formula.) The RPI may be the most influential factor in NCAA Tournament seeding. Cornell's RPI rank as of January 25 is No. 245 out of 347 total Division I teams. While neither the Ken Pomeroy or Jeff Sagarin rankings are used by the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee, the KenPom.com site ranks Cornell No. 205 in the nation, while the USA Today Sagarin rankings have Cornell at No. 230 Both sites are predominantly used by fans and the media.
