The Owls were outrebounded, 11-7, and outshot, 68.4 percent-50 percent. The Owls had 9 turnovers, Cornell 6. And the Owls got to the foul line just long enough to make 3 of 4 attempts. Cornell made 9 of 10.
Interestingly Cornell attempted just 7 three-pointers, making 2, compare to 4-for-11 for the Owls. That's right around the 12th seed's seasonal average. Cornell was inaccurately portrayed by many as a team that bombs threes as soon as it gets off the bus.
