Clearly it wasn't over until Andy Bernard sang, but Cornell was leading the Number One team in the country at the Phog Allen Fieldhouse in Larry, Kansas with less than a minute to go.
Even then, we should be proud that the "scrappy Big Red" -- which means "small white kids" in ESPNese -- took it to the wire and almost, but not quite, ended Kansas's 50-game home winning streak.
A 5-point loss to the #1 team in their own court is pretty good, I think.
I followed the match on gamecast, since the game was only available on ESPN360 and the U.S. closes its interwebs to computers located in Mexico, presumably because it fears Mexican computers taking jobs away from American computers, even if they do the things that American computers don't want to do, like browsing on Internet Explorer or running Windows Vista.
But I digress. Like I said, I was forced to "watch" the game on Gamecast, which is like sexting instead of having actual sex.
Regardless, I'll count this as a moral victory. In the realm of small triumphs, Cornell even emerged for a few minutes as a trending topic on Twitter, and it certainly is thrilling to stand there in between the Iranian Revolution and Tila Tequila.
In the realm of bigger victories, Cornell b-ball is certainly on the college hoops map. A small blip, perhaps, but it shines Big Red.
