Upset-minded Big Red sets sights on Badgers
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/21/2010 - Jacksonville, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 12th-seeded Cornell Big Red earned the first NCAA Tournament win in program history two days ago, and they will attempt to upset the fourth-seeded Wisconsin Badgers in the second round of the East Regional.
The winner of this game will do battle with top-seeded Kentucky in the Sweet 16.
Cornell was far superior to fifth-seeded Temple in Friday's 78-65 triumph. The Big Red are now 28-4 overall and cruised to the Ivy League title. They have tied a record set by the 1970-71 Penn Quakers for most wins in a season by an Ivy squad (28) and can obviously claim sole possession of the record today. Cornell is making its fifth NCAA Tournament appearance and had an 0-5 record in the event prior to the triumph over Temple.
As for Wisconsin, it is making its 16th appearance in this event and owns a 21-14 record. The program advanced to the Final Four in 1941 and 2000 and won its only national title in '41. The Badgers have been to the NCAA Tournament in each of head coach Bo Ryan's nine seasons with the team and in 12 straight years overall. They are 24-8 this season and are coming off a 53-49 victory over 13th-seeded Wofford, a first-round game that was closer than expected.
This game marks the first-ever meeting between Cornell and Wisconsin on the hardwood.
There are several obvious reasons that Cornell was able to get by Temple so easily on Friday. The Big Red connected on 56.3 percent of their field goal attempts and knocked down nine three-pointers. They also earned a 30-20 rebounding advantage and a 15-6 edge in points from the foul line. Louis Dale scored 21 points and handed out seven assists to lead the charge against the Owls. Ryan Wittman, the Ivy League Player of the Year, was close behind with 20 points on the strength of a 4-of-6 effort from three-point range, and Jeff Foote provided 16 points and seven boards from his center position. Overall this season, Cornell is scoring 75.4 ppg and is shooting a staggering 43.2 percent from behind the arc as a team, the best mark in the nation. The club is limiting opponents to 63.2 ppg on 41.6 percent field goal efficiency. Wittman paces his club with 17.6 ppg, while both Foote (12.4 ppg, 8.2 rpg) and Dale (12.2 ppg, 141 assists) are consistent contributors as well.
Wisconsin struggled mightily at the offensive end of the floor against Wofford in the first round, shooting a mere 37 percent, including 1-of-9 from three- point range. The Badgers were also outrebounded by a 37-30 margin, but they did earn a 12-6 edge in points from the foul line and only turned the ball over four times. Jon Leuer and Trevon Hughes combined to score 39 of Wisconsin's 53 points. Leuer finished with 20 points and eight rebounds, while Hughes tallied 19 points. The key to the Badgers' success this season has been their strong defensive play, as they have limited their foes to 56 ppg on 41.8 percent shooting from the field. Offensively, they are netting 67.0 ppg and have four double-digit scorers in the fold. Hughes leads the team with 15.5 ppg, and he has 55 steals to his credit as well. Leuer is close behind with 15.0 ppg, and his 5.9 rpg are actually tops on the roster. Jason Bohannon (11.4 ppg) and Keaton Nankivil (10.1 ppg) round out a foursome of double-digit scorers.
