No shame in losing to the 2nd best team in the nation as of the start of the tournament. Kentucky was just too athletic and (once they took Cornell seriously) too good on the defensive end. Cornell just couldn't get good shots off.
But even facing that reality, Cornell never gave up on the defensive end, and Kentucky wasn't able to pull away until the very end. Unfairly, they're going to be buried behind the Butler upset and the Xavier-Kansas State instant classic, but Cornell deserves a lot of kudos for their tournament run, and for this game they just played against the presumptive favorite remaining.
