HEAD COACH BILL COURTNEY
Cornell head coach Bill Courtney is in his fourth season at Cornell (36-67, .350; 18-26 Ivy, .409) ... 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 hit the road for its first Ivy League road weekend when it visits Brown on Friday, Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. before heading to Yale on Saturday, Feb. 1 at 7 p.m. The games can be viewed live on the Ivy League Digital Network, or you can listen to Barry Leonard's radio call on HITS 103.3 FM.
Cornell has played some good basketball despite its 1-15 start, with two of the losses coming to 2013 NCAA Final Four squads (Syracuse, Louisville) and six total coming at the hands of 2013 postseason squads (Syracuse, Louisville and Notre Dame - NCAA, Stony Brook - NIT, Loyola - CIT, Western Michigan - CBI) that went a combined 161-58 a year ago. Cornell has shown glimpses of really good play despite its heavy reliance on underclassmen and inexperienced upperclassmen. Three of the team's top five scorers are freshmen or sophomores and the three top upperclassmen had made a combined 23 career starts entering the year. The Big Red led then-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 and led Western Michigan in the second half. Cornell went on to drop all five games.
The Big Red backcourt has been its strength, with its three starting guards all averaging double figures. Sophomore guard Nolan Cressler is off to a great start for the Big Red, averaging 15.5 points and 4.8 rebounds and freshman guard Robert Hatter is at 10.1 ppg., while chipping in 2.3 assists and 1.7 rebounds. Playmaking junior Devin Cherry rounds out the trio at 11.0 ppg. to go along with 3.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists. Senior forward Dwight Tarwater has been a double-double threat, posting 6.2 points and 6.0 rebounds per night. Freshman Robert Onuorah (3.1 ppg., 3.3 rpg., 0.6 bpg.) and junior Deion Giddens (3.8 ppg., 3.1 rpg., 0.6 bpg.) are holding down the middle, while senior guard Dominick Scelfo (3.1 ppg., 1.0 apg.) and freshman guard Darryl Smith (4.5 ppg., 2.0 rpg.) are providing firepower off the bench. The Big Red is scoring 65.4 points on 42 percent shooting and has a near-neutral assist:turnover ratio (191:198). Much of Cornell's troubles have come on the defensive end, where the team is allowing 80.1 points on 49 percent shooting, including 40 percent from 3-point range. It has been much better over its last four games, surrendering 69.6 points on 45 percent shooting and 33 percent from 3-point range.
A WIN OVER BROWN WOULD:
• snap an eight-game Ivy League losing streak.
• give the Big Red its first road win after 11 straight defeats.
• be the 1,211th in program history (1,210-1,341 in 114 seasons).

• Sean McGonagill leads the Ivy League in scoring at 19.3 ppg. to go along with 4.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 46 percent from the floor and 43 percent from 3-point range.
• Rafael Maia is the team's other double figure scorer at 10.3 ppg. and averages 8.4 rebounds per contest.
• Reigning Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week Cedric Kuakumensah is posting 2.9 blocks per game.
• The Bears are averaging 72.6 points per game while shooting 45 percent from the floor and 40 percent from beyond the arc and outrebounds opponents by more than five per game.
• Second year head coach Mike Martin, a Brown grad, has quickly moved the program toward the top of the Ivy standings and has a 22-22 mark.
THE CORNELL-BROWN SERIES:
• Cornell leads the series 73-46, dating back to the first meeting between the teams in the 1949-50 season.
• The Big Red is 16-2 in the last 18 contests against the Bears.
• Brown ended Cornell's 13-game win streak in the series with its 84-65 victory at Newman Arena last March.
ABOUT YALE:
• Yale is 7-9 overall and just 2-5 in its last seven contests, though one of those wins was a home victory over Brown (74-67) in its Ivy opener.
• The Bulldogs have a pair of double figure scorers in sophomore forward Justin Sears (15.2 ppg., 6.3 rpg.) and junior guard Javier Duren (13.5 ppg., 3.9 rpg., 2.9 apg.).
• Yale's opponents are shooting 46 percent from the floor and 43 percent from 3-point range, but are outrebounding opponents and averaging nearly 12 offensive boards per contest.
• The dean of Ivy League men's basketball coaches, 15th year mentor James Jones. He enters the weekend just three wins shy of 200 for his career and ranks fifth in conference history with 109 Ivy wins.

• In the Big Red's seven home games, Cornell is shooting 45 percent from the floor and has 100 assists to just 73 turnovers, but has attempted 88 fewer free throws than its opponents.
• After surpassing 500 career points and 50 assists, Cressler is seven rebounds shy of 200 for his career.
• Junior Devin Cherry has hit for double figures in seven consecutive games, averaging 12.9 points over that span.
• In his last two home games, junior forward Ned Tomic has averaged 15.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals while shooting .609 from the floor (14-of-23).
• In his last three games, senior Jake Matthews is averaging 7.0 points and 1.3 steals while hitting 6-of-10 field goals and 5-of-9 from 3-point range.
