Official Twitter of Cornell University Men's Basketball -- Ivy League -- 5 NCAA Tournaments ('54, '88, '08, '09, '10) -- 2010 Sweet 16

[Ivy League @IvyLeague]

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.

For the second straight year, the Ivy League finished as the FIFTH STRONGEST athletics conference in the nation — trailing only the SEC, Big Ten, ACC and Big 12. The league had 94 nationally ranked teams in 2025-26. 🌿
