      • Above, an Associated Press photo of Lenny Collins (Cornell '06) during November 8, 2005 in a Cornell vs. St. Francis (PA) game in Syracuse, New York as part of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic.  Collins was a former First Team All Ivy League selection.

      • Cornell RPI WatchThe RPI (Rating Percentage Index) is a measure of strength of schedule and how a team does against that schedule. It does not consider the margin of victory, but only whether or        not a team won and where the game was played (home/away/neutral court). The formula is 25% team                      winning percentage (WP), 50% opponents' average winning percentage (OWP), and 25% opponents'                opponents' average winning percentage (OOWP). (See: CollegeRPI.com for a further explanation of the formula.) The RPI may be the most influential factor in NCAA Tournament seeding. Cornell's RPI rank as of December 28 is No. 239 out of 344 total Division I teams. While neither the Ken Pomeroy or the Sagarin Rankings (USA Today) are used by the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee, the KenPom.com site ranks Cornell No. 259 in the nation, while the Sagarin Rankings (USA Today) have Cornell at No. 265 Both sites are predominantly used by fans and the media.
