It was all the way back in 1898 when Cornell first suited up for basketball season, giving them a tradition that runs as deep as nearly every other program in the Ivy League. As college basketball grew substantially over the generations, the Big Red proved to be one of the best programs in New York and had plenty of amazing moments, including a run to the Sweet Sixteen as far back as 1954 and another in the modern era. Add in eight different conference titles (including four in the EIBL and four in the Ivy) and this is a program that has a long history of success at the highest level of college basketball competition.
The 2010 NCAA Tournament was a special time to be a fan of the Cornell basketball team, as that was the year that the Big Red put together their best postseason run in team history. After losing in the first round in both 2008 and 2009, Cornell broke through by upsetting Temple and then Wisconsin on the way to the Big Red's first Sweet Sixteen ever.
