YES....Cornell will give Kentucky all they want. This game is in Syracuse, New York. Cornell is located just down the road from Syracuse. This will be a home game for Cornell. This could be the first time in the tourney that Kentucky fans are in the minority. Cornell will feed off the atmosphere and energy from the Pro-Cornell crowd. I think Cornell will absolutely be ready for Kentucky!

Since I went to Kentucky, I picked them in my bracket, but I can see Cornell winning. The poster who talked about 9 out of ten is on to the key to the evaluation. When people with computers do this, they run a million simulations.
So. if they played a million times, I think Cornell only wins
127,542 times, but that is a lot. Many different scenarios would unfold, to make up those 127,000 wins.
Cornell makes their free throws and UK doesnt and that is that.
Or, in 432 of the million games, Cornell hits 8 out of 10 3's while UK misses the last 10 shots they take, including slam dunks that fly up to space after hitting the rim, to blow a 22 point lead with 4 minutes to go.
It happens. Sometimes, 'the lid is on the basket'.

I picked Cornell to get this far. That's all.
I saw some guy on ESPN had them in the final four from day 1 when they were going over the announcement of the brackets.
