History has already been made with us having made it this far in the tournament.  For those of you unable to watch the game, I’ll do my best to keep you updated as Big Red takes on the Wildcats.

Initial observations: Vast majority of fans are red, and Cornell is coming out with a LOT of energy.

12:29 left, Kentucky takes first lead 11-10.  Wildcat’s points are coming from inside the paint, and Cornell is making shots from all over the court, with two three-pointers.

4:42 left in first, Cornell throwing a lot of fouls, some as preventative methods, and Kentucky goes up 21-14.  Big Red has gotten a little sloppy and the Wildcats don’t know how not to score.

Halftime: 30 to 6 run against Cornell and Kentucky doubles the Big Red’s score.  32-16, Wildcats winning.

11:02 left.  Cornell finally hits a three pointer, bringing it up to a 14-point deficit…a big rally needs to happen.  Fast.

9:00 left – Cornell cuts Kentucky’s lead to 10 points, the shortest yet this half.

5:33 left – Big Red drains a three and cuts it to a 6-point game!

2:33 left and it’s not looking very good for the Big Red.  Kentucky is leading by 12 now, 49-37.

We lost.
