News and Notes: Sunday Evening "Ivy Champs" Edition

Below, some news notes for Sunday evening...

• While attending Cornell's match-up on Saturday with Penn, the Daily Pennsylvanian's Neil Fanaroff noted during his live updates, "A nice arena they have here [at Cornell]. A good size, and a packed house (even though there's a hockey game going on right now next door)."

• From the Pioneer Local, "After enjoying a solid freshman season to help Cornell reach the NCAA Tournament a year ago, [Chris] Wroblewski ... has played the role of defensive stopper on this year's 23-4 club (9-1 in the Ivy League). The sophomore guard appears to be headed back to the Big Dance with the Big Red, which has been ranked in the Top 25 this season."

• News 10 Now has video highlights of Cornell's Saturday win over Penn. Both the Cornell Daily Sun and Daily Pennsylvanian published brief recaps of the game. Longer media recaps can be viewed by clicking here.
  

• Cornell RPI Watch: The RPI (Rating Percentage Index) is a measure of strength of schedule and how a team does against that schedule. It does not consider the margin of victory, but only whether or not a team won and where the game was played (home/away/neutral court). The formula is 25% team winning percentage (WP), 50% opponents' average winning percentage (OWP), and 25% opponents' opponents' average winning percentage (OOWP). (See: CollegeRPI.com for a further explanation of the formula.) The RPI may be the most influential factor in NCAA Tournament seeding. Cornell's (24-4) RPI rank as of February 28 is No. 47 out of 347 total Division I teams.

• Neither the Ken Pomeroy or Jeff Sagarin rankings are used by the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee. Nevertheless, the KenPom.com site ranks Cornell No. 73 in the nation, while the Sagarin rankings have Cornell at No. 56 Both sites are predominantly used by fans and the media.
