Even as its rivals bring in more talent to try to compete with the Big Red, Cornell appears to be in great shape to not only win its third consecutive Ivy League title, but also to put itself in position to pull off an upset in the NCAA Tournament.

It seems almost unfair that a team returning all five starters should also bring in a host of new players that includes two Division-I transfers, but that's the situation Steve Donahue finds himself in.

The biggest problem won't be finding five capable players to fill the court at all times, but to work the minutes enough to keep everyone fresh and happy.

Cornell starts off with three players who will challenge for Player of the Year honors in the Ivy League.
