Getting your player ready...
For all the talk about Northern Iowa and Saint Mary’s emerging as Cinderellas from the opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament, don’t forget about Cornell. Bettors certainly aren’t. With the money pouring in on Cornell, Las Vegas sports books have dropped the Big Red from 200-1 odds a week ago to win the tournament to 18-1. Cornell puts its senior-laden lineup into action tonight against young, but heavily favored, No. 1-seeded Kentucky.
