With their win over Brown, Cornell is the first to punch a dance card for the Madness. The Ivy does not have a conference tournament, so the overall conference champion gets the automatic bid.
This is the third straight year for The Big Red who went 12-1 in conference and 26-4 overall.
While the Ivy teams tend to bow out after the first round, this Cornell team has proven it can run with the big boys with road wins over Alabama, UMass, St. Johns, Drexel, La Salle, and St. Joseph’s. Let’s not forget that this team also took then undefeated #1 Kansas to the buzzer in Lawrence. Don’t count them out.
Automatic Bids:
Cornell (IVY)
