Men's Basketball Faces Stanford in NCAA Tournament

March 16, 2008 - 6:40pm
By Sun Staff

Update: 10:45 p.m.

The Cornell men's basketball team was selected as the No. 14 seed in the NCAA tournament and will face No. 3-seeded Stanford in Anaheim on Thursday, the NCAA revealed this evening. It is the Cornell's first bid to the tournament in 20 years and the Red’s third-ever appearance.

Cornell locked up its NCAA bid after winning the outright Ivy League title, the school’s first since 1988. That year, the team received the No. 16 seed and lost to No. 1-seeded Arizona in the first round, 90-50. Cornell’s first appearance was in 1954 after it won the EIBL title.

No. 11/11 Stanford (26-7, 13-5 Pac-10) is making its 16th overall appearance. The Cardinals finished second in the Pac-10 Tournament, with UCLA taking the championship game, 67-64.
