[Hoot Gibson]

Up until now this cornell team had only played syracuse, and seton hall. and lost to both of those team. You really think there going to beat kentucky? after beating TEMPLE and WISCONSIN?

Cornell also played and beat St. Johns on the road and lost by only 5 at Kansas. I am guessing that Kansas would have been favored to beat Kentucky in Lawrence too.

Kentucky had better not let Cornell's shooters get open looks early because they are on a tear. The Cats need to disrupt Cornell's rhythm early or it could be a tough game. They also cannot afford to have Cousins not come ready to play a full game or to shoot 1 for 7 from the freethrow line. His erratic freethrow shooting is becoming one of this team's biggest weaknesses.
