Also offering articles on the CBI quarterfinal from people who were not in attendance are the Daily Princetonian and the Trentonian.

We're used to that style of play and we're ready to play that kind of game."
Will Venable has taken a circuitous route to the major leagues.
Here's a Trenton Times preview of last night's action that I initially missed.

Congratulations to Cornell (28-4), who recorded the Ivy League's first NCAA Tournament win since 1998 with a convincing 78-63 performance versus Temple. Soft Pretzel Logic has a great post about this game.
With the Big Red and Princeton both winning, 2009-10 is just the second year where two different Ivy men's basketball teams have been victorious in the postseason. Can you name the other time this happened? No peaking at our Twitter feed for the answer...
