<p>So--the basketball team is 7-0 so far in the conference, and its looking really good for us to get into the NCAA tournament. In the Ivy League conference the team with the best overall record gets to go to the NCAA tournament. Its been since 1988 since any team in the Ivy League except for Penn or Princeton has gotten to go, and we've already beaten both of them. </p>

<p>If you are also a current Cornellian, please go to the home games and help support the team, they are really good this year.</p>

<p>awesome! =] Wish I could go ..</p>

<p>Man I wish I was there this year, i hope they follow the same path next year. Do students have to pay to attend games ? Are there season passes?</p>

4

<p>Athletic events are free, except for hockey.</p>

5

<p>I heard that students camp out for hockey tickets. How exciting is that?</p>

<p>Not really true, norcalguy - for this year, either you get a Big Red Sports pass, which isn’t that expensive but gets you into all games except Hockey, or you pay a small fee per game. Basketball tickets for last week’s game against Princeton were $3, for example.</p>

<p>I think next year the student activities fee will cover a free big red sports pass for anyone who asks for one, which means that what you’re saying will be true.</p>

7

<p>Really? Didn’t basketball games and such used to be free?</p>

8

<p>Besides hockey , which sports events are most attended?</p>

9

<p>basketball is $3 a game, and they’ve been selling out. Students stand the entire game and get really into it–which I really didn’t expect. Its really nice to have support for the teams : )</p>

<p>the student activities fee is going to pay for a pass next year? Is that for everyone, not just incoming freshman?</p>

10

<p>camping out for hockey tickets isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be…it’s a very long day…but I would do it over again if I wasn’t graduating this year :-)</p>

<p>Big Red !!!</p>

15

<p>Go Cornell!!</p>

16

<p>So, what comes next for the b ball team?</p>

17

<p>I think they’ve got 2 more regular season games (Penn and Princeton) and then NCAA play begins…</p>

18

<p>Wow those will be cool games. Seal the deal that we are the champs and that we deserve to be in the tourney. Screw the P’s!</p>

19

<p>Cornell will probably be a #13, 14ish seed (if they win their final two games) so they’ll be matched against a #3, 4 seed (someone of Stanford or Xavier’s caliber).</p>

<p>

Agreed. I hope they are just as good or better next year.</p>
