HEAD COACH BILL COURTNEY
Cornell head coach Bill Courtney is in his fourth season at Cornell (35-38, .376; 18-24 Ivy, .429) ... Courtney became the fifth Robert E. Gallagher '44 Coach of Men's Basketball at Cornell on April 23, 2010.
STORY LINES:
The Cornell men's basketball team will meet first-time opponent Radford when the Highlanders visit Newman Arena on Monday, Nov. 25 at 7 p.m. at Newman Arena. You can watch the game on the Ivy League Digital Network or listen to the game locally on HITS 103.3 FM with Barry Leonard and Eric Taylor on the call.
Sophomore guard Nolan Cressler is off to a great start, averaging 18.3 points and 4.7 rebounds in his first six games and is coming off a career-best 25-point effort against Siena. He's the only player averaging double figures, though three others are posting at least 8.0 points every contest. Senior forward Dwight Tarwater is posting 9.2 points and 7.0 rebounds, while freshman guard Robert Hatter is scoring 8.5 points with 2.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists. Junior guard Devin Cherry rounds out that foursome at 8.3 ppg., 3.2 rpg. and 3.5 apg. Freshman Robert Onuorah (4.5 ppg., 4.7 rpg., 1.2 bpg.) and junior Deion Giddens (4.3 ppg., 2.2 rpg.) are holding down the middle, while senior guard Dominick Scelfo is providing firepower off the bench (5.5 ppg., 1.5 apg.). The Big Red is scoring 68.3 points on 42 percent shooting, but is allowing 85.8 points on 50 percent shooting, including 45 percent from 3-point range.
Cornell has played some good basketball despite its 0-6 start, with two of the losses coming to 2013 NCAA Final Four squads (Syracuse, Louisville) and three total coming at the hands of 2013 postseason squads (Syracuse and Louisville - NCAA, Loyola - CIT) that went a combined 88-27. Cornell has shown glimpses of outstanding basketball despite its heavy reliance on underclassmen and inexperienced upperclassmen. Three of the team's top six scorers are freshmen or sophomores and the three top upperclassmen had made a combined 23 career starts entering the year. The Big Red led No. 8/7 Syracuse by 14 points in the first half and by six at the break, led a Loyola (MD) team that won 23 games a year ago by seven points with five minutes remaining and had a 19-point advantage against Binghamton with 13 minutes left and a 10-point lead with four minutes to play against Siena before the team's youth came out and the Big Red went on to drop all four contests.
Radford enters the game on a three-game win streak after a 69-63 triumph at Binghamton on Saturday behind Javonte Green's 17 points and eight rebounds and leads the team in both categories through four games (16.8 ppg., 7.3 rpg.). The Highlanders overcame a 14-point second half deficit in the victory to move to 3-1 on the year. Third-year head coach Mike Jones (22-46 record)

• avoid the Big Red's first 0-7 start to a season since the 1981-82 campaign.
