One Beautiful Season A Year Later
Kyle Whelliston of MidMajority.com and the author of One Beautiful Season, the story of 2009-2010 college basketball season, and the year of the mid-majors, which featured a couple lengthy chapters with an emphasis on Cornell, catches up with each of the star programs from a year ago. He writes of Cornell on his site:Cornell (Ch. 6): The Sweet Sixteen super-megaclass that earned three Ivy titles all graduated, Steve Donahue left for Boston College, and now the Big Red make up this season's saddest rebuilding project. They're 7-17 and 3-7 in the league right now. Cornell didn't even get a victory lap before being forgotten by the hooping public at large... that's the kind of cruel Our Game can be.
Whelliston also notes the step backwards this season for other mid major powers such as Butler and Northern Iowa.
Cornell's epic 2009-2010 season has been unmatched by an Ivy League program in the last 30 years. The Big Red's resume from a year ago included some of the following team achievements:

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell junior men's basketball player Chris Wroblewski has been named to the Capital One Academic All-America third team as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Wroblewski becomes the fourth Big Red player to earn the top academic honor in college basketball and is one of two Ivy League players on this year's list (Brown's Garrett Leffelman - second team).
Wroblewski, a preseason candidate for the Bob Cousy Award as the nation's top point guard, was named to the all-district team for the second straight year in January. He is averaging 14.7 points, 5.4 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals while playing 32.6 minutes per game in 22 contests (20 starts). Wroblewski is hitting on 43 percent of his 3-point attempts (45-of-106). He ranks 13th in career 3-pointers for the Big Red (140), second in 3-point percentage (.440), 10th in free throw percentage (.815) and seventh in assists (304).
Wroblewski joins Jeff Gaca (third team in 1993), Lenny Collins (third team in 2006) and Graham Dow (first team in 2007) as Cornellians named to the men's basketball Academic All-America team.
The 2008 Ivy League Rookie of the Year is a three-time weekly honoree. Off the court, Wroblewski has posted a 3.61 grade point average in Applied Economics and Management.

Below, the February 7, 1969 issue of the Cornell Daily Sun previews the Big Red's roadtrip to the new digs and referred to Jadwin as "brand smacking new" and "spacious and plush" while calling Princeton's former Dillon Gym "tiny" and "unpopular" for opponents.

A First Visit to the Palestra
Cornell returns to Philadelphia to face Penn next Saturday. Above, the February 22, 1927 issue of the Cornell Daily Sun previews the Big Red's first ever game in Penn's "new Palestra." The February 23 issue of the Cornell Daily Sun recaps Cornell's 18-16 win over the Quakers. Penn's Palestra, which opened two months earlier on January 1, 1927, is the Ivy League's oldest gymnasium still in continuous use by its varsity basketball program. Cornell's former basketball home, Barton Hall, which still serves as a varsity athletics facility, namely for indoor track & field, is nearly a decade older than the Palestra. Barton Hall commenced hosting varsity basketball games at Cornell in 1919 and continued to do so through 1990 until the construction of Newman Arena.News and Notes: Sunday Edition
Above, during 2008, Cornell stormed the floor following a perfect 14-0 Ivy League season. The Big Red would repeat as conference champions during 2009 and then again in 2010, making it a "3-peat" -- culminating with the No. 17 final national ranking and Sweet 16 appearance last year. After Saturday's Ivy action, no team will match Cornell's perfect '08 record. Below, a weekend wrap up and news and notes for Sunday...Game Recaps: Dartmouth at Cornell
