Cornell came into this game against Temple as everybody's upset pick, they lived right up to it winning 78-65. They took the lead early in the first and never gave it up. Temple got as close as six in the second half but could not get the stops and buckets they needed. The Big Red was lead by Ryan Wittman as he had 20 points and shot 4 for 6 from behind the three point line, Louis Dale lead the team with 21 points and Jeff Foote who added 16 points. The Owls were lead by Juan Fernandez with 14 points and Lavoy Allen added 11 points and 5 rebounds. The Owls could not stop the three as the Big Red hit 9 of 23 and 7 of those coming in the second half. The Owls who end the season with a record of 29-6 they have lost in first round for the third straight year. The Big Red who a lot experts believe are one the best teams to come out of the Ivy League in the last decade improve to a record of 28-4 and will face the winner of 4 seed Wisconsin and the 13 seeded Wofford on Sunday. If Cornell play like they did today Wisconsin or Wofford could have a lot of problems. Makes you wonder if Cornell should have been a higher seed maybe a 6 or a 7.
