- Cornell's "secret scrimmage" against Siena is mentioned on CBS Sports.
- MLive.com refers to Western Michigan's visit to Cornell on November 10 as a "test" for the Broncos. It is the season opener for both teams.
- If you missed it last week, a definite worthwhile television watch is ESPN's documentary from the 30 for 30 series, "The Journey Home" - the story of Dr. James Naismith's original rules of basketball. Now Dr. Naismith did invent the concept of the game of basketball in 1891. But as we previously posted on the Origin of Basketball at Cornell University, the sport came to Cornell just one year later in 1892. Cornell University's Director of Physical Culture, Edward Hitchcock, Jr., played a role in how the game is played today with a limitation of the number of players on the court to five on five. See Sports Illustrated, January 31, 1955 issue and Naismith's book, Basketball It's Origin and Development (page 72).
