Brown faces Ohio on CBI Opening Round
Brown will get a taste of postseason play when it heads to Ohio to take on the Bobcats in the Opening Round of the inaugural College Basketball Invitational. The Bears will have their hands full against an Ohio team that handled Cornell in Athens earlier this season.
Brown receives and accepts CBI bid
Ivy League runner-up Brown was invited to participate in The Gazelle Group’s inaugural College Basketball Invitational. The Bears have accepted the bid and are awaiting news of their Opening Round opponent on either Tuesday, March 18, or Wednesday, March 19. The other teams reportedly taking part in the tournament include Virginia, Ohio, Houston, UTEP, Washington, Richmond, Bradley, and Nevada. An announcement of the full field and the bracket is expected late Sunday night or early Monday morning.
14th seed Cornell to face Stanford
The NCAA released its 2008 NCAA Tournament bracket, seeding Cornell 14th and setting up a matchup with third-seeded Stanford in Anaheim, California. The game is scheduled for a 4:55 pm ET tipoff on Thursday, March 20.
March 16 Seed Watch
Some help finally arrived in the form of upsets in the Southland tournament, with Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston State both getting upset, bumping Cornell up a spot on the s-curve. The remaining tournaments don’t have the potential for assistance, so a natural 14 seed is looking very likely for the Big Red, which means it could be a high as a 13 seed or as low as a 15 seed — though dropping it down to a 15 would seem grossly unfair.
