Talented Cornell Underdog in Name Only

Filed under: Wisconsin, Big Ten, March Madness, NCAA Tournament - East RegionJACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- There were a lot of people who thought Cornell was under-seeded at No. 12 in the NCAA Tournament. Count Wisconsin senior guard Jason Bohannon in that majority. Bohannon caught a portion of the Big Red's opening-round victory over Temple Friday afternoon from the seats of Veterans Memorial Arena. "I mean, watching them yesterday, they show why they're in the tournament," Bohannon said Saturday. "They certainly proved they are as good as anyone." Cornell has surfaced as one of the more compelling stories in The Big Dance, the Ivy League champions who won their first NCAA tourney game in school history and the first by an Ancient Eight team in 12 years.
