- Above, Jeff Foote (Cornell '10) boards a flight on Friday evening with his Zalgiris club of Lithuania. They are traveling to Moscow for a February 3 game at the world's top team, CSKA Moscow. The match is part of the Eastern European VTB League.
- NBC Sports writes on Friday night:
Important OutcomesPrinceton 76, Cornell 59The Tigers rolled past Cornell on Friday night, which was important for Princeton. They keep a four-game winning streak alive and remain one of 2-0 in conference — making Princeton and Harvard the only undefeated teams in the Ivy League. It was a must-win for the Tigers, who have a tough next week. On Friday, Princeton plays a good Brown team, followed by Yale the next day.

- Pete Thamel of Sports Illustrated profiles Bucknell's Mike Muscala, a Minnesota native. Muscala almost landed at Cornell and is an example of how Cornell recruited hidden talent to build its 2008-2010 dynasty. Thamel writes:
Minnesota has earned a unique recruiting niche as a place savvy mid-majors coaches mine for overlooked talent. There's just one Division I basketball school in Minnesota, and the Gopher have 13 scholarships like everyone else. Consider that everyone from Troy Bell (Boston College) to Jordan Taylor (Wisconsin) has slipped out of Minnesota. But perhaps more apt are players like Ryan Wittman (Cornell), Matt Janning (Northeastern), Noah Dahlman (Wofford) and Nate Wolters (South Dakota State) becoming program altering players."In the last 10 years it's really taken off," said Minnesota-native Dane Fischer, who found and recruited Muscala to Bucknell. "It went from a state with three or four Division I kids every year to now where there's 15 to 20 almost every year."[Bucknell coach, Dave Paulsen] got a tip on Muscala from a coach he'd hired at Division III Williams to be with him, Alex Lloyd, who he couldn't take to Bucknell. Lloyd, now with the Atlanta Hawks, worked Harvard's camp that summer and talked up Muscala. Paulsen immediately called Fischer, who hails from Rochester, Minn. Fischer told Paulsen that he'd spoken to Muscala on the phone the week prior."Good," Paulsen joked, "you've got a job for another week or two."Fischer scouted Muscala at an off-the-beaten path AAU tournament in Indianapolis. Fischer's old college teammate, then-Cornell assistant Zach Spiker, spotted him there. "He looked like he swallowed a canary," jokes Spiker, now the head coach at Army... "I'm like, this kid is way better," Paulsen kept saying about Muscala as he watched prospect after prospect. Paulsen didn't waste any time. Muscala essentially visited Bucknell the day Paulsen's moving truck arrived in Lewisburg, Pa. Muscala committed in his office the summer of his junior year, with Bucknell beating out Santa Clara and Cornell.

- Cornell RPI Watch: The 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 February 2 is No. 220 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. 250 in the nation, while the Sagarin Rankings (USA Today) have Cornell at No. 227. Both sites are predominantly used by fans and the media.
