Cornell 'Upsets' Temple, Even More People Jump On Bandwagon

Back in January, Cornell was the cause celebre of the basketball cognoscenti. The Big Red nearly knocked off Kansas on the road, boasting a team of deadly three-point shooters, anchored by a bevy of seniors. They were basically the trendy indie rock band hoops hipsters everywhere looked forward to tabbing as a sleeper in March.

But then Cornell became mainstream. They cracked the top-25 for the first time in school history. And come tournament time, even ESPN's Jay Bilas picked them to make the Elite Eight. In fact, they became such a chic upset pick that roundball aficionados everywhere who'd been fans since the beginning dumped the Big Red in favor of the new hotness, Temple (who were themselves underseeded).

And now? After easily dispatching the Owls, Cornell is headed for a second round matchup against Wisconsin, who were lucky to escape plucky Wofford. Looks like the bandwagon might need to get ready for quite a few more fans.
