Donahue Leads Big Red Program Into Promising 2001-02 Campaign
2001-02 Outlook
Backcourt, High Profile Recruiting Class Expected To Energize Cornell Head coach Steve Donahue barely had enough time to hang pictures in his office before opening practice. Just over two months after being hired, he was on the sidelines for his first game as a head coach. Despite playing a schedule he didn’t create with players he didn’t know, the head coach equaled the number of league wins and consistently found a way to keep an undermanned team in games while trying to instill new offensive and defensive schemes. Late in the season the squad responded, defeating eventual Ivy League champ and NCAA tournament participant Princeton and taking losses by three points or less to Penn, Brown and Dartmouth over the final three weeks of the season. Now with a year under his belt, a schedule he put together and his first recruiting class, excitement and energy are the words that best describe the feeling around the Cornell basketball program. With three returning players who averaged less than three points per game and seven freshmen, Donahue has a lot of inexperience with which to mold into his team philosophy. But at the same time, he also returns two all-league candidates in the backcourt and one of the top power forwards in the league, giving the Big Red an opportunity to take up the title of most improved team in the league in 2001-02. “We’re greatly improved in terms of our overall skill,” Donahue said. “We’re much more athletic. I think we’ll shoot the ball better, and we pass and move much more effectively.” The trio of Wallace Prather, Ka’Ron Barnes and Jake Rohe is expected to provide the leadership for the young group while also providing a bulk of the

scoring. The three combined to average more than 26 points per game last season and will be asked to up that total even more as the newcomers adjust to Division I play. Donahue took a page from his former mentor, Penn’s Fran Dunphy, in building this year’s schedule. The non-league slate is highlighted by road games at NCAA tournament teams Notre Dame, Syracuse and Georgia Tech, as well as a possible matchup with NIT participant Richmond at the Spiders’ in-season tournament. A game that won’t stand on the national stage, but will cause just as much interest locally, will be the Big Red’s first-ever regular season contest with Ithaca College. The schedule was put together to help the young team mature in preparation for a rigorous Ivy League slate. “We’re very young and very talented,” Donahue said. “I think our early nonconference schedule will help toughen us up for Ivy League play.” All-Conference Candidates Lead Backcourt Proven, experienced players return in the backcourt to run the show for Donahue. All-Ivy League candidates Prather and Barnes lead an athletic, high energy group which features size, speed and shooting ability. “We’ll need Wallace and Ka’Ron to continue to lead us,” Donahue said. “Wallace has done a great job as captain and has really matured. Ka’Ron really worked on his game over the summer.” Prather returns at point guard for his senior season looking for his best year yet. At 5-9, Prather uses his size to his advantage, as his quick hands and low center of gravity make him a nuisance on defense and nearly impossible to stay in front of on offense. A respectable shooter, he makes enough shots from the perimeter to open up the lane. The Decatur, Ga., native possesses the court vision to find the open man and the strength to finish after contact when he penetrates. Prather’s big-game mentality and competitive nature, when controlled, brings Cornell to a different level. His

efforts on the court have brought him within striking distance of several milestones heading into his final season. Prather is 136 points shy of becoming the 17th Big Red player to reach 1,000 for his career. He is also 13 steals shy of establishing a school record and is within striking distance of the top five in assists, three-point field goals made and attempted, minutes played and games played. One of the top rookie performers in the Ivy League, Barnes was a three-time winner of the conference’s Rookie of the Week award while leading all first-year players in scoring. Barnes is the type of guard Donahue loves – quick, athletic, strong and willing to play defense. Like all outstanding players, Barnes has not rested on his laurels despite his success. The sophomore worked on becoming more consistent with his jump shot and ball-handling in an effort to become the team’s most complete player. The Big Red’s top returning scorer at 10.3 points per game, the 6-0 combo guard is also the team’s top shot blocker and assist man, while ranking second among returners in steals and rebounds. When Prather and Barnes need a breather, Donahue has a large stable of talented guards from which to choose www.CornellBigRed.com

Gabe Stephenson are also capable of playing the forward spot while seeing time at center. Inexperienced Talent Competes At Center Spot While there are several unproven options at center, Donahue will have some talent to work with. While having the option of going with a small lineup featuring three guards or swing players, Cornell will have Gabler, Stephenson and freshman Chris Vandenberg battling for time in the pivot. Gabler possesses good size and a strong presence around the hoop. Despite seeing limited action during his first two years, Gabler has the agility and touch to provide offense from the low post. The junior has strong, soft hands and a good feel for the game. One of the most improved players on the team over the past year, Gabler will become an important part of Cornell’s game plan in the post. Stephenson has the skills and the size (6-8) to contribute in the pivot for the Big Red after a successful prep career at J.K. Mullen High School in Denver, Colo. Another athletic big man, Stephenson will also see time at forward, where he can use his quickness to his advantage. Vandenberg appears to be the newcomer most ready to play right away. The 6-10 forward has the size and skills necessary to become an elite player. He spent the summer representing his native Canada at the World University Games. Vandenberg runs the court like a guard and is a presence in the middle Cornell has lacked since the departure of school shot blocking leader Jeffrion Aubry in 1999. Killer Non-Conference Schedule Cornell’s non-conference opponents posted a cumulative 190-191 record (.499) in 2000-01, led by three teams which advanced to NCAA tournament play and another which received an invitation to the NIT.

Carroll saw action in 23 games last season with a pair of starts. A valuable role player, the senior co-captain is a solid shooter and playmaker who sees a majority of time at point guard. A true three-point shooter, Vigneault knows his role on the floor and excels at being a marksman from behind the arc. The junior has attempted just three field goals from inside three-point range in his career. The native of Verdun, Que., is expected to see increased playing time as his attention to defense and running the offense increases. One of the surprises of the preseason, the 5-9 Castro is the point guard of the future and will spend the Junior Randy Gabler (above) joins classmate season learning the Big Red’s offensive Jake Rohe as the lone experienced players in the frontcourt for the 2001-02 season. and defensive schemes while seeing backup action behind Prather.

At Cornell Carroll, who will serve as a co-captain this season, is a hard worker and valuable role player who saw action in a career-high 23 games in the backcourt as a junior, starting two contests. He averaged 0.7 points and 0.4 rebounds while seeing nearly five minutes per game. In 14 games as a sophomore, Carroll averaged 1.3 points and 0.9 rebounds and averaged nearly 10 minutes per contest. He sparked the team with eight points off the bench vs. Harvard on March 4 at home. He made his season debut on Dec. 7 with five points at home against Clarkson. Carroll played a season-high 21 minutes at Princeton on Feb. 19.

HOLDING COURT ... ERIC TAYLOR
The thing I like most about basketball ...The object of any game is to win. And everyone, including myself, loves to win. It is by far the most enjoyable part of the game. My advice to young Big Red fans ... is to develop a love for the game and a love for winning. This will keep young players practicing and enjoying basketball years down the road. Before a game I ... always eat well and get a good night’s sleep. I don’t really have any superstitions. If I could have dinner with three people, living or dead, they would be ... Abraham Lincoln, Larry Bird and my grandfather L.L. Taylor, who passed when I was 2 years old.
At Cornell A big body in the lane, Taylor is also a skilled athlete with a soft touch. A good athlete with strong hands, he can rebound in traffic and defend the post. Taylor can score facing up or with his back to the basket and is also an accomplished passer. A true leader, he served as captain for both his high school and prep school teams.

At Cornell An explosive scorer, Toppert is expected to contribute immediately in the backcourt. He has the rare ability to make players around him truly better thanks to his defensive presence, which he prides himself in, as well as his passing. The left-hander is quick enough to drive past a defender and strong enough to finish in the lane. At Albuquerque Academy Toppert was named first-team all-state as a junior and senior, averaging 24.3 points and 8.6 rebounds per game in his final year at Albuquerque Academy. He was twice named district player of the year and was a USA Today honorable mention All-American in 2000 and 2001. Toppert was named the top shooting guard at the Five Star basketball camp in Pittsburgh in 2000, helping him earn recognition to garner a

Meet The Big Red
The thing I like most about basketball is ... that it is a way for me to apply my competitiveness because I love to win and will work my hardest to win.
At Cornell One of the top big men ever recruited at Cornell, Vandenberg is expected to step in and contribute right away. Vandenberg gained valuable international experience as part of the Canadian Junior National team which competed at the World University Games in Beijing, China. Vandenberg possesses good strength and a solid understanding of footwork and positioning. A skilled passer out of the post, his presence generates open perimeter shots for the guards and his shot blocking and ability to control the defensive glass will give the Big Red easy offensive chances.

STEVE DONAHUE 2nd Season at Cornell
Robert E. Gallagher ‘44 Coach of Men’s Basketball HOLDING COURT ... STEVE DONAHUE ON CORNELL Obviously with the diversity of the seven schoools and over 4,000 courses, Cornell would attract any student who is serious about academics. We also play in a great league in a great part of the country. Cornell is situated in a perfect spot to have students come and be successful academically and athletically.
BigCoaching Red Coaching Staff Staff
ON HIS COACHING PHILOSOPHY I’m looking for players who are passionate for the game of basketball. Players who want to win. I think we need to find guys who are not selfish, who think of their team first and themselves second. That will hold over on defense and offense. We’ll be looking for people who are dedicated to all aspects of the university...academics, the city and the university. Players who are dedicated to become as good as they can be on the court. They will work hard to help us reach the highest level we possibly can.
ON HIS STYLE OF PLAY We are going to be an up-tempo team. We’ll try to get after it offensively and defensively, put pressure on the ball, make the opponent play a faster style than they would like to. But, in the same sense, we’ll be looking for unselfish play. Unselfish players looking for each other with lots of movement. We’ll look for players to give themselves up..you make three or four basket cuts and may not get the ball, but by doing that you may get somebody else open. That’s the kind of person I’m looking for. Defensively, we’ll have to be solid in the half court. Man-to-man will be our best defense and we have to take great pride in that. Not fouling, not putting people on the line, but contesting every shot, making it difficult for opponents to run their set offense.
ON THE NCAA TOURNAMENT I’ve been fortunate enough to participate in five of those special days...the greatest day in a basketball player’s life...Selection Sunday. There is nothing like that feeling of knowing what you have accomplished, winning your league. Then, everyone in the country gets to know who won the Ivy League and where we are going. It is just a tremendous feeling of accomplishment and I hope these guys will know what it means so they can strive hard to reach that goal. I’ll do everything I possibly can to allow Cornell basketball players to achieve that, to know what that experience is exactly like, the ‘Big Dance.’
ON EXPECTATIONS OF A CORNELL ATHLETE I simply expect our players to give 100% on and off the court. Off the court, they are going to take care of their academics, and on the court they will take care of each other. Our players will come to practice thinking that we are going to get something done today and get better at each and every practice. I expect our players to be committed to the Big Red basketball program in every aspect, on and off the court.

Steve Donahue enters his second season as head basketball coach at Cornell, and if his first year is any indication, there are big things in the program’s future. Renowned as a top recruiter and for his offensive mind while as an assistant at the University of Pennsylvania, Donahue has learned the trade from some of the nation’s top coaches. Donahue became the fourth Robert E. Gallagher ‘44 Coach of Men’s Basketball at Cornell on Sept. 6, 2000. He wasted little time making an impact on the court. Despite joining the program a little more than two months before the team’s first contest, Donahue wasted little time to begin molding his team into his own image. By the end of the season his emphasis on hard work and dedication to the program paid off in a win over Ivy League champ and NCAA participant Princeton and a two-point loss to league runner-up Penn, teams which defeated Cornell by a combined 40 points during the first turn through the Ivy schedule. A tremendous motivator, Donahue has set lofty goals for his program.

coordinator. During his tenure as a Quaker assistant, he was heavily involved in the recruitment of five of Penn’s top 20 alltime scorers. He was also instrumental in the Quakers winning six Ivy League titles in his last eight years there, advancing to the NCAA tournament five times and earning national recognition with a top 25 ranking. His duties also included practice preparation, game coaching, scouting and academic monitoring of players.

He also served as the director of the Penn Basketball Coaches Clinic and the director of the Quaker Basketball Camp. Prior to joining Dunphy’s staff at Penn, Donahue coached for two seasons at Philadelphia College of Textile and Science (now Philadelphia University). During his two seasons at Textile, the Rams won 20 games each season and also competed in the 1989 NCAA Division II Tournament. Thus, since 1989, Donahue has been an integral part of programs that have gone to six postseason tournaments. Plus, he has the unique experience of qualifying for the NCAA tournament in all three d i v i s i o n s (including the Division III tourney as a player with Ursinus). Donahue joined Textile after serving as an assistant for current Lafayette head coach Fran O’Hanlon at Monsignor Bonner High
MIKE BURDEN 2nd Season at Cornell
Assistant Coach
BigCoaching Red Coaching Staff Staff
HOLDING COURT ... MIKE BURDEN ON CORNELL One of the main reasons Cornell is so attractive is because of the mix of academics and athletics. We have seven different schools, and each one will tell you they’re in the Top 10 in the country in their fields. We have a very good diverse population, both student and faculty. It’s the biggest of the Ivy League schools with nearly 14,000 students, so you get to meet a lot of different people. Once you graduate from Cornell you have a leg up in life. We have so many alumni, and Cornell grads take care of each other. There is a lot of things Cornell has to offer. ON THE STAFF’S RELATIONSHIPS WITH EACH OTHER The relationship on our staff is very unique. I’ve known Steve and Joe for about 10 years and Izzi for a year and we try and do everything together. We want our guys to do everything together, so we do the same. Our families are very close. We work out together, we play basketball together, we call each other every night on the phone. I think you need that if you want to be a team. ON HIS ROLE ON THE STAFF I’m a people person. I love being around the guys. I’ve wanted to coach basketball since in was in the eighth grade. I always knew this is what I wanted to do. I think I bring hard work and energy to the table. ON WHAT THE STAFF LOOKS FOR IN A PLAYER We look for hard working kids, someone who is willing to do whatever is necessary for the team. Someone always willing to do extra to make himself and the people around him better. I think that’s what it’s all about. We’re looking for a kid who can balance his academics, his basketball and his social life, because there’s no reason you can’t have all three. It’s all about time management. When I meet a kid, I want someone honest, that I can trust and that his teammates can trust. I don’t want someone who tells me what I want to hear. If you work hard for the team, that says something about your character. We don’t have room for selfish players or selfish people.

Assistant coach Mike Burden begins his second season on Steve Donahue’s staff with the goal of taking the Cornell program to the top of the Ivy League. In his first season, Burden was instrumental in locking up one of the top recruiting classes in Cornell history. Known for his ability to evaluate talent, Burden has spent the last several years as a primary recruiter as several different programs. Burden joined the staff after a short stint at Maine (2000) and one year stays at Delaware State (1999-2000) and Lafayette (1998-99). Burden has helped build and maintain winning programs at every NCAA level, assisting on teams that have competed in the Division I, II and III tournaments. As an assistant for head coach Fran O’Hanlon at Lafayette, Burden helped the Leopards to a Patriot League title and an NCAA tournament berth, finishing 22-8. Burden was part of a Division III NCAA tournament squad as an assistant at Rowan University in 1997-98 after going 21-8. A 1995 graduate of Rowan, Burden gained his first collegiate coaching experience at South Dakota State University. The Jackrabbits reached the NCAA Division II tournament in each of his two seasons, with a combined record of 49-10 under
head coach Scott Nagy. Burden was a four-year letter winner at Rowan University, earning All-New Jersey Athletic Conference honors in 1993 and 1994. He played in three NCAA Division III tournaments, and his 1992-93 team advanced to the Final Four. Burden scored 1,035 career points and grabbed 800 rebounds. He entered the coaching ranks at his alma mater, Cumberland Regional High School, in 1994-95. Burden resides in Ithaca with his wife, Christine, and two children, Mike and Malachi.

JOE BURKE 2nd Season at Cornell
Assistant Coach HOLDING COURT ... JOE BURKE
ON THE STAFF’S RELATIONSHIPS WITH PLAYERS We have a young staff. Steve is young, me, Mike and Izzi are all under 30 and I think that there is a tendency for younger guys to relate better with the players. Although we don’t have a wealth of experience, the fact that all three assistants have recently graduated makes it easier for players to relate to us. Guys are more willing to open up to us and that makes for a great playercoach relationship, which is very important to the team. ON HIS ROLE ON THE STAFF Offensively I have a good idea of what we’re running and what we want to do. I like to watch a lot of tape because I’ve always been interested in the X-and-O’s of the game. I worked for a great coach in Herb Magee, a great offensive mind, and Steve also worked for him, so I think we grew up in the same coaching mold which makes it very easy to see where each other is coming from. We think on the same wavelength both offensively and defensively. I love working with the guys individually. That’s part of what makes coaching so fun for me. ON WHAT THE STAFF LOOKS FOR IN A PLAYER On the basketball court, the way we want to play offense we want guys who can score, but more importantly guys who can think the game. We look for guys who know the game and can make shots. If you have a feel for the game, we think when we put you on the floor, not only will you be able to survive, but you’ll be able to contribute. You don’t need to be the best athlete to be successful in basketball.

Joe Burke returns for his second season on the Big Red coaching staff as an assistant coach. His collegiate and scholastic coaching experience has been instrumental in helping Cornell head coach Steve Donahue turn around the program. Because of his energy and ability to build relationships, Burke has become known as a top recruiter in coaching circles. Those relationships spill over to the court as well, where Burke is well-respected by both his players and peers. The second-year assistant was promoted this summer from volunteer assistant coach and became a primary recruiter, helping bring in one of the most highly-toued classes in the Ivy League. Burke came to Ithaca after a short stint with the Hoop Group, which is nationally recognized as the top basketball camp, clinic and tournament organization in the country. During his time with the Hoop Group, Burke was the director of basketball operations for the many events up and down the East Coast. His responsibilities included the recruitment of the top high school players throughout the country to attend these events, as well as providing individual basketball instruction for each of these players. Burke was an assistant coach at Philadelphia University, where he served as the director of scouting and recruiting for a program that has consistently produced one of the most highly successful Division II teams in the country. The 1998-99 team finished 21-6 and featured a top six regional ranking and a top 25 appearance. The 1999-2000 team won 17 games and also earned a top 25 ranking. A 1996 graduate of Ursinus College, Burke was a two-time captain and played both baseball and basketball for the Bears. His basketball teams won two conference titles, an ECAC tournament title, and received a top 25 national ranking.

Donahue’s First Season Provides Dates, Games To Remember
2000-01 2000-01 In In Review Review
Near Misses, Mercedes Climbing Scoring List and Rookie Scorer Highlight 2000-01 Season In the emergence of any program, there are key dates that you can trace back to see where the success started. Years from now, head coach Steve Donahue hopes several will be located in the 2000-01 men’s basketball season. Despite going 7-20 overall and 3-11 in Ivy League play, several events could prove key to the program’s long term health. A senior class that included the school’s second-leading career scorer helped bridge the gap between Donahue’s first season and a talented group of underclassmen awaiting the challenge conference play would provide. The first date, Sept. 6, 2000, may go down as the most important. Donahue, a long-time assistant coach at league rival Pennsylvania, took over a Big Red program which had only one winning season over the previous seven campaigns. Full of passion and energy, Donahue gave the Cornell faithful something to look forward to. Despite having a little more than two months to adjust to the school, his staff and his personnel, Donahue had his Big Red squad ready to open the season. Led by four returning starters, including leading scorer Ray Mercedes, and seven of the top eight scorers from the previous season, the first year coach had some firepower to challenge a tough schedule. After opening the season with a 10point loss in the home opener to Lafayette, the Big Red visited defending national champion Michigan State in the first round of the Coca-Cola Spartan Classic. Cornell kept the score tight before the host went on a 13-0 run midway through the first half en
route to an 89-56 win. The loss sent the Big Red to a consolation game the next evening with Bradley. Despite trailing by 19 in the second half, Cornell tied the game before tiring after the furious rally and fell, 72-69. For his efforts at the tournament, freshman Ka’Ron Barnes earned league Rookie of the Week honors, the first of three awards he would earn during the season. Donahue wouldn’t have to wait much longer to earn that first career win, as his troops defeated Army in overtime, 91-81, on Nov. 29. Again showing tremendous resiliency, the Big Red battled back from 16 points down with 10 minutes remaining, and Mercedes, who netted 23 points, scored late to send the game into an extra period, which Cornell commanded for its first win. After defeating Skidmore 83-50 for its largest win of the year, Cornell dropped five consecutive games to fall to 2-8 as 2000 expired. The Big Red opened the new year in style, upending Colgate and Sacred Heart to match the team’s longest win streak of the season. Back-to-back lopsided losses to preseason conference favorites Princeton and Penn were answered with a 41-35 win over Columbia to give Cornell its first conference win of the year. The Lions’ point total was the lowest by a Big Red opponent since holding Harvard to 35 points during the 1985-86 season. The two nearly duplicated the score as the result was reversed seven days later as Columbia topped Donahue’s club 42-38. The defeat began a streak of six losses in seven games, five of the losses coming by eight points or less. Only a three-point road win at Yale salvaged an otherwise tough three weeks of play. With a 6-15 record and the excitement of the new season dimming, league leaders Penn and Princeton came to town. After dropping the first series of the year to the teams by a combined 40 points, both teams would come to town expecting easy victories. There would be nothing easy about either game.

crowd, 66-49. The milestone win came on Feb. 17, 2001. Six months after leaving a team which had won six Ivy League titles, Donahue showed his players that competing for a conference title in Ithaca wasn’t as far away as they thought. The Big Red ended the season by dropping the final four games of the year, three by narrow margins, showing that they had a lot to learn before they take the next step. But equaling the previous season’s win total in league play and half its games by a manageable eight points or less proved that fielding a competitive team was already a reality. One player who helped Cornell achieve what it had was Mercedes, who scored a career-high 37 points at Harvard in his final collegiate game to move into second place on the school’s all-time scoring list with 1,429 points. He also became the first Big Red player to lead the team in scoring for www.CornellBigRed.com
four straight seasons. Barnes enjoyed a banner first year on East Hill, leading all Ivy League freshmen in scoring and winning the conference’s Rookie of the Week award on three occasions. Junior Wallace Prather and sophomore Jake Rohe finished as the third- and fourth- leading scorers for the Big Red. Prather continued to climb the school’s career scoring and steals charts, while Rohe was considered by many as one of the most improved players in the conference.
2000-01 Season Notes • In his first season as head coach, Steve Donahue led Cornell to a 7-20 record, including a win over Ivy League champion and NCAA tournament participant Princeton. • Senior Ray Mercedes ended his career second on the school’s alltime scoring list with 1,429 points. • Sophomore Ka’Ron Barnes was named Ivy League Rookie of the Week three times during the season. The native of Buffalo, N.Y., ranked second on the team in scoring at 10.3 points per game. He also led all league freshmen in scoring. • Junior Wallace Prather paced the team with 43 steals, giving him 143 for his career, 12 shy of the school record set by DeShawn Standard ‘98. He also ended the season 136 points shy of becoming the 17th player in school history to record 1,000 points. • Sophomore Jake Rohe was the only Big Red player to start all 27 games, and finished the campaign ranked second on the squad in rebounding (5.6) and fourth in scoring (7.7). • Senior Kevin Cuttica closed his career by finishing third on the team in assists (1.6) and fifth in scoring (7.3). He saw action in 106 games, one shy of the school record held by Shawn Maharaj ‘92. • Senior Greg Barratt led the team in rebounding (7.1) for the second straight season.

HAMILTON, N.Y. - Jake Rohe scored 15 points and Greg Barratt netted 11 with 10 rebounds to lead Cornell to a 6858 victory over Colgate. The win snapped a five-game losing streak for the Big Red, who won for the first time since Dec. 4. Rohe’s 15 points tied his career high and Ka’Ron Barnes scored 13, his first double-figure scoring contest in four games. Barnes also pulled down a seasonhigh seven boards and made eight of 10 free throws on the night. Barratt also posted his third double-double of the season. The Big Red outrebounded the hosts, 40-28. This time, the Big Red did not struggle in the second half and instead, made clutch free throws and continued a stifling defensive effort when it mattered most. Up by six entering the second half, the Big Red opened up a 10-point advantage at 47-37 with 12:58 on a Barnes three pointer. Eight free throws down the stretch and a Rohe slam dunk with 29 ticks left sealed the first win of the New Year.

CORNELL 41, COLUMBIA 35 JAN. 20, 2001 — NEWMAN ARENA
ITHACA, N.Y. - The Cornell men’s basketball team fought for 40 minutes to earn head coach Steve Donahue his first Ivy League victory. The Big Red held the Columbia Lions to a paltry .239 from the field in a 41-35 victory. Jake Rohe was the only player from either team to record double-digits in points, going 3-for-7 from the field and 9-for-15 from the charity stripe for 15 points. Kevin Cuttica scored eight points while Ka’Ron Barnes, the three-time Ivy League Rookie of the Week, added eight points. The story of the contest was the Cornell defense, which battled the whole game and kept Columbia from getting close in the final minutes. Although the Lions outrebounded Cornell 40-28, almost every shot they took was contested by a Big Red player. Cornell added eight steals, including four from Cuttica. Columbia turned the ball over 16 times, twice Cornell’s total.

The Light Blue hit three of four free throws - including two of two by Craig Austin with 2.8 seconds left - in the waning moments of the contest for the final score of 42-38.

PENNSYLVANIA 59, CORNELL 57 FEB. 16, 2001 — NEWMAN ARENA
ITHACA, N.Y. - What would have been a bittersweet victory for Cornell coach Steve Donahue, turned into agonizing defeat as Quaker center Geoff Owens dunked a lob pass from guard Dave Klatsky with three seconds remaining to give Penn a 59-57 victory at Newman Arena. Donahue strategically used his bench the entire game to counter the Quaker size advantage and individual mismatches. The Big Red was led by Wallace Prather’s 16 points and four steals. Ray Mercedes also played well, scoring 15 points to go along with seven rebounds. The Quakers were led by Owens, who shot 3-for-3 from the field, scoring 11 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Ugonna Onyekwe finished with 15 points and two blocks. Cornell used an outside attack in the first half to neutralize the bigger Penn frontcourt, with its first five field goals coming from beyond the three-point arc. The Big Red held a lead until Penn grabbed a one-point advantage with five minutes remaining.

BROWN 67, CORNELL 65 FEB. 23, 2001 — NEWMAN ARENA
ITHACA, N.Y. - Cornell led Brown for all but four minutes in a 67-65 loss at Newman Arena. The game was drastically different from the 85-52 drubbing the Big Red took at the hands of the Bears in Providence two weeks earlier. Earl Hunt led all scorers with 23 points, while Brown forward Alaivaa Nuualiitia grabbed 16 boards. Wallace Prather and Ray Mercedes led Cornell with 16 and 12 points, respectively, with Greg Barratt getting eight rebounds. Cornell was firing on all cylinders to start the game, jetting to a 19-9 advantage on 8-of-11 shooting from the field. Trailing 58-54 with 6:46 remaining, Hunt would put Cornell down over the next three minutes. The sophomore hit a baseline jumper, a threepointer, and finally a lay up with 3:46 remaining for a 6361 Brown advantage, its first since the 19:04 mark of the first half. Prather’s lay-in with 24 seconds remaining cut the lead to one, but the Big Red would never get another shot off.

In his last game in front of the home crowd, Mercedes led the Big Red with 17 points and nine rebounds. Cuttica added seven points and seven rebounds, and junior Wallace Prather netted nine points, along with three rebounds and three assists.Yale’s guard play, spearheaded by sharp-shooter Ime Archibong, and the inside muscle of Neil Yanke and Tom Kritzer, were too much for the Big Red as Yale led throughout the contest. Archibong finished with 27 points on 9-of-13 shoooting, while Yanke ended with 21 points and eight rebounds.

The Ivy Ivy League The League
The Council of Ivy Group Presidents The designation “Ivy League” first appeared at the typewriter of Caswell Adams of the New York Tribune in 1937. The tag, premature of any formal agreement, was immediately adopted by the press as a foreshadowing of an eastern football league which, at the time, was big news to everyone except the athletic directors involved. For years, the Ivy members had already been allied in leagues in basketball, ice hockey, baseball and swimming. Further common competition was found in the Heptagonal Games Association, which included Army and Navy, in the sports of baseball, track and field, and swimming. Through these other scheduling arrangements, the Ivy athletic directors were used to dealing with each other in matters of administration or the exchange of calculated confidences. As a result of these dealings, and through extensive presidential meetings and discussions, the first “Ivy Group Agreement”—addressing only football— was signed in 1945. While the 1945 statement did not address any scheduling issues, it did affirm the observance at the eight institutions of common practices in academic standards, eligibility requirements and the administration of financial aid for athletes. These tenets are what still bind the Ivies together today and all continue to be based on the desire to secure competition with others having like philosophies. The athletic directors, at the direction of the presidents, were then more formally organized as a committee for cooperative endeavor in the details of athletic administration and a dean from each school was appointed as a committee to exchange information on eligibility and to act for the presidents in cooperation with the athletic directors. In February 1954, what is more commonly accepted as the founding date for the Ivy League, the Ivy Group Agreement was reissued to extend its philosophical jurisdiction to all sports and to foster, insofar as possible, intragroup competition. In layman’s terms, that meant a complete round robin schedule in football, beginning with the 1956 season. Such an agreement— assuring seven spots on an eight- to 10game schedule to Ivy opponents— required numerous concessions from each institution and marked a high point in intercollegiate cooperation. The basic intent of the original Ivy 34

agreement was to improve and foster intercollegiate athletics while keeping the emphasis on such competition in harmony with the educational purpose of the institutions. While football is where it started, the Ivy League today is nationally recognized for its level of success -- absent of athletic scholarships -- while rigorously maintaining its selfimposed high academic standards. The Ivy League has demonstrated a rare willingness and ability, given the current national pressures on intercollegiate success, to abide by these rules and still compete successfully in Division I athletics.

and stamina of Cornell's cross country runners; the 16 league football titles won by Dartmouth; an early morning workout on the Charles River for Harvard's crews; basketball games at Pennsylvania's storied Palestra; Princeton's lacrosse teams; and the beauty of and challenge posed by the Yale golf club. These are just some of the elements that have helped the Ivies foster a wonderful, rare spirit of competition, excellence and camaraderie for athletes, spectators and alumni. Located on the campus of Princeton University, the Ivy League (still known officially as the Council of Ivy Group Presidents) continues to grow under the leadership and direction of Executive Director Jeffrey H. Orleans. Since taking the post in 1984, Orleans has become a respected voice on the national scene of intercollegiate athletics.

Cornell University Cornell University
Cornell University/Realizing a Bold Dream In the mid 1800s, two New York state senators, Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White, shared the bold dream of founding a “truly great university.” Cornell, a plainspoken inventor, wanted “an institution where any person can find instruction in any study,” including the mechanical arts and agriculture. White, a scholarly graduate of Oxford and Yale, yearned to establish a university where “truth shall be taught for truth’s sake” in the arts and sciences. Together they created a nonsectarian university that was the first in the eastern United States to admit women and that pioneered the concept of elective courses. Their egalitarian vision and innovative ideas, which set Cornell apart at its opening in 1868, continue to guide the university today. Cornell includes 13 colleges and schools. On the Ithaca campus are the seven undergraduate units—the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences; the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning; the College of Arts and Sciences; the College of Engineering; the School of Hotel Administration; the College of Human Ecology; and the School of Industrial and Labor Relations—as well as four graduate and professional units: the Graduate School, the Law School, the Johnson Graduate School of Management, and the College of Veterinary Medicine. (The Weill Medical College and the Weill Graduate School of Medical Sciences are in New York City.) An Ivy League university that is also the land-grant institution of New York State, Cornell is a unique combination of public and private divisions committed to teaching, research, and public service. Cornell’s 13,600 undergraduates and 6,000 graduate and professional students come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries. Interdisciplinary study and research are Cornell
CORNELL’S MISSION AND VALUES In keeping with the founding vision of Ezra Cornell, our community fosters personal discovery and growth, nurtures scholarship and creativity across a broad range of common knowledge, and engages men and women from every segment of society in this quest. We pursue understanding beyond the limitations of existing knowledge, ideology, and disciplinary structure. We affirm the value to individuals and society of the cultivation of the human mind and spirit. Our faculty, students, and staff strive to achieve these objectives in a context of “freedom with responsibility.” We promote initiative, integrity, and excellence in an academic community that prizes collegiality, civility, and responsible stewardship. As the land grant university of the State of New York, we apply the results of our endeavors in service to the community, the state, the nation and the world. “I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.” -- Ezra Cornell, 1865
OPEN DOORS, OPEN HEARTS, AND OPEN MINDS Cornell’s Statement on Diversity and Inclusiveness Open Doors ”I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.” This statement, made by Ezra Cornell in 1865, proclaims Cornell University’s enduring commitment to inclusion and opportunity which is rooted in the shared democratic values envisioned by its founders. We honor this legacy of diversity and inclusion and welcome all individuals, including those from groups that have been historically marginalized and previously excluded from equal access to opportunity. Open Hearts Cornell’s mission is to foster personal discovery and growth, nurture scholarship and creativity across a broad range of common knowledge and affirm the value to individuals and society of the cultivation of the human mind and spirit. Our legacy is reflected in the diverse composition of our community, the breadth of our curriculum, the strength of our public service, and the depth of our commitment to freedom, equity, and reason. Each member of the Cornell community has a responsibility to honor this legacy and to support a more diverse and inclusive campus in which to work, study, teach, research, and serve. Open Minds Free expression is essential to this mission, and provocative ideas lawfully presented are an expected result. An enlightened academic community, however, connects freedom with responsibility. Cornell stands for civil discourse, reasoned thought, sustained discussion and constructive engagement without degrading, abusing, harassing, or silencing others. Cornell is committed to act responsibly and forthrightly to maintain an environment that opens doors, opens hearts and opens minds.
hallmarks, as is attention to undergraduate education. The university’s 2,200 faculty members are active teachers as well as researchers—Nobel laureates often conduct introductory courses—and the lines of traditional disciplines are easily crossed.

A Word About Early Decision If Cornell is your first choice and you’re applying for freshman admission, consider applying under the early-decision plan. Your application will be read in the fall, and you’ll be notified by midDecember of Cornell’s decision. Between 25-30 percent of recent freshman classes came to Cornell through EDP. Because enthusiasm for Cornell is considered a plus, early-decision applicants stand a better chance of gaining admission—a fact reflected in the statistics. Remember that an early-decision application is a commitment. You can apply under early decision to only one college or university. If you’re accepted at Cornell, you must withdraw any applications sent to other schools and send your acceptance deposit by January 4. Most applicants who are notified in mid-December that they were not accepted under early decision will be reviewed again during the regular decision process. Some applicants will receive final notification in December that they are being denied admission to Cornell and will not be referred to the regular decision pool.
When Does The Fat Envelope Arrive? If you’re applying as a freshman for the fall semester, you’ll have Cornell’s decision by early April. Agriculture and Life Sciences, Hotel Administration and Industrial and Labor Relations roll out their decisions as they’re made, from February through early April. Architecture, Art, and Planning; Arts and Sciences; Engineering; and Human Ecology let you know in early April. No matter when you receive notification you’ll have until May 1, or 15 days after you’ve received the offer, whichever is later, to respond. If you’re applying as a transfer student for the fall semester, you’ll receive Cornell’s decision by mid-June. Spring transfers hear in December. You’ll have until June 1 (spring transfers, until January 1), or two weeks after you’ve received the offer, whichever is later to respond. ○

Entering his 10th year as the playPickup From by-play voice of Cornell basketball, Pg. 71 Barry Leonard brings extensive radio 2000-01 experience to his call of Big Red MBKB Guide hoops on WTKO radio in Ithaca. Leonard, who is also the voice of the Big Red football and lacrosse Barry Leonard squads, returned to Ithaca radio in 1997 after a 10-year absence and his recognizable voice and affinity for Cornell is evident by his commitment to the university and the athletic programs. Leonard was awarded the Ben Mintz/Cornell Media Award last year, given to a member of the media who shows exceptional support of Cornell in particular and to college athletics in general. Leonard began his career as sports director at WDIX Radio in Commack, N.Y., where he served as the basketball and football play-by-play voice for Hofstra and C.W. Post and also hosted his own sports call-in show. After returning to Ithaca for five years at WHCU, Leonard moved on to WICE in Providence, R.I., where he served as a talk-show host and sports anchor. A 1980 graduate of Ithaca College with a degree in televsion and radio, Leonard resides in Lansing with his wife, Anne, and daughter, Keara.

Commitment to Excellence Those who seek an undergraduate education at an Ivy League school do so because of the promise of academic challenge, of quality teaching and of diverse and plentiful resources. It was a shared perspective on the proper balance of athletics and academics that led to the creation of the Ivy League in 1954. When the member schools formally united, it was agreed that athletes are admitted as students and should be awarded financial aid only on the basis of economic need. As a result, students today are not bound to their sports because of athletic scholarships, rather they choose to participate in athletics because they relish competition and physical challenges. Cornell is especially attractive to those who seek a school committed to both academic and athletic excellence. With 36 varsity sports, the university’s athletic department is one of the most comprehensive in the country. Along with a schedule that pits Cornell against its Ancient Eight rivals, Big Red teams compete in Division I of the NCAA and the ECAC. An impressive staff of coaches leads the Big Red teams and recruits some of the finest student-athletes from a national and international pool of accomplished young men and women. The coaches demonstrate a commitment to teaching and a willingness to share their own competitive experiences with their teams. Their individual achievements and accomplishments include playing and coaching time in the professional and international ranks as well as numerous all-star performances during their own collegiate careers. Set against a backdrop of the natural beauty of Cayuga Lake and the surrounding hills, an extensive array of facilities provides a tremendous environment for practice and competition for Cornell’s varsity teams. Schoellkopf Field and its distinctive crescent-shaped stadium may be Cornell’s most familiar sports venue, but since the mid-’90s, a number of new facilities have become landmarks as well. The Friedman Strength and Conditioning Center, a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to the support and improvement of athletes’ performances, is a place where all teams gather to train. The Kane Sports Complex, with its Berman Field for soccer and the Simon Track, and the Niemand•Robison Softball Field are also impressive facilities. The Reis Tennis Center and the Oxley Equestrian Center, home of the equestrian and polo teams, are part of an expanding complex that will include new homes for other teams as Cornell continues to realize its plan for renovation and building of athletic facilities. Spacious and historic Barton Hall is home to the indoor track and field teams. The volleyball, basketball and wrestling teams compete in Bartels Hall’s 4,473-seat Newman Arena and the fencing team’s home, the Stifel Fencing Salle, is located on the lower level of the facility. Adjacent to the Bartels Hall is famed Lynah Rink, where the Big Red hockey teams perform before sellout crowds for most home games. The gymnastics and swimming teams are housed in

Department of Athletics and Physical Education Mission Statement The Department of Athletics and Physical Education strives to provide students with powerful and meaningful participatory experiences that forge enduring bonds with Cornell, and to provide for the well-being of members of the faculty, staff, and community. We offer a diverse program of physical and outdoor education, recreational services, and intercollegiate athletic competition, equitably administered with special attention to the needs of women and members of under-represented minority groups. We foster the values of physical fitness, total well-being, and enduring participation in athletics; teach leadership skills, teamwork, responsibility, and accountability; and administer programs that can be critical to the educational and personal development of students in keeping with the high standards of Cornell, the Ivy League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The department promotes pride and unity within the university community and provides opportunities to develop, strengthen, and maintain ties to external audiences such as alumni, friends, the educational community, and the general public by attracting interest, recognition, and support.
Teagle Hall where Cornell crews also train during the winter months. Just down the hill from campus are the Collyer Boat House and the Doris Robison Shell House, which are scheduled for renovation and expansion. Cornellians have been national champions in ice hockey, lacrosse, polo, rowing, track and field and wrestling. They have also earned spots in halls of fame, on All-America teams, on the Olympic medal podium and have written their names in record books as Wimbledon tennis champions and major league players in baseball, basketball, football and hockey. Four years ago, Seth Payne ’97 joined the Jacksonville Jaguars of the NFL after being selected in the fourth round of the draft. Ken Dryden ’69, former star goalie of the Montreal Canadiens and current president of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and Joe Nieuwendyk ’88, who led the Dallas Stars to their first-ever Stanley Cup in 1999, are Cornell hockey alumni. Last spring, the women’s lacrosse team made its first-ever appearance in the NCAA championship tournament, while the softball team competed at the NCAAs for the second time in three years. Four gymnasts earned All-America honors at the USA Gymnastics National Championships, while in polo, Jeff Embow ’01 and Melissa Riggs ’02 were honored as the nation’s top collegiate players. Ryan McClay ’03 also was one of 23 players selected to play for the United States team in the 2002 International Lacrosse Federation World Championship in Perth, Australia. Cornell is proud that, as a group, varsity athletes regularly match or exceed the student body’s overall GPA for academic performance. The University is especially proud that every semester a number of undergraduates — more than 30 on average — achieve a 4.0 GPA while participating in varsity sports. These scholar-athletes are inducted into the athletic department’s 400 Club at a semiannual breakfast given by President Hunter Rawlings, Vice President for Student and Academic Services Susan Murphy and Director of Athletics Andy Noel. These dedicated student-athletes demonstrate that the ideal is achievable, that it is possible to excel both in the classroom and in the sporting arena. This past spring, Karen Chastain ’01 and Jaimee Reynolds ’02 were both honored as first-team Verizon Academic All-Americans, while David Key ’01 was a second-team pick. The collegiate experience at Cornell is a rich one for varsity athletes because the University supports their passion to excel.
