"We want to win. We want to advance," coach Steve Donahue said. "I think we have the talent to do that."

The Big Red became the first team this season to earn an NCAA bid, clinching its third consecutive Ivy League championship by beating Brown 95-76 on Friday night with a record-tying display of 3-point shooting.

Cornell (26-4, 12-1) made 20 of 30 attempts from 3-point range and held Brown to 30 percent shooting in the second half while cruising to t...

LEXINGTON,- Patrick Patterson had a season-high 23 points and No 2 Kentucky avenged its only loss this season with an 82-61 victory over South Carolina on Thursday night.
