Cornell’s Otherworldly Shooting Too Much For Wisconsin, Big Red Wins 87-69

Jacksonville, FL (Sports Network) - Louis Dale totaled 26 points as 12th- seeded Cornell routed fourth-seeded Wisconsin, 87-69, in the second round of the East Region of the NCAA Tournament.

Ryan Wittman had 24 points and Jeff Foote added 12 points and seven rebounds for the Big Red (29-4), who upset Temple on Friday for their first-ever tournament win and will look to continue their run next Thursday in the regional semifinals, a battle against top-seeded Kentucky in Syracuse.

Entering the 2010 NCAA Tournament, Ivy League schools were best known for their old buildings and government-orchestrating secret societies. This could change on Sunday, as 12-seed Cornell meets 4-seed Wisconsin in the East Region’s second round.
