Projection: likely out

Cornell faces an uphill battle for tournament consideration due to a mixed record against opponents of varying strength. While they've picked up some solid wins, like the victory over Samford and impressive scoring against California, their defense has been a glaring weakness, especially in losses to La Salle and Robert Morris, where they allowed over 90 points. The upcoming slate of Ivy League games presents an opportunity to improve their resume, but matches against Yale and Princeton will be crucial. Winning these could bolster their standing significantly, while losses might further diminish their chances as they navigate a conference that can be unpredictable.
