Wisconsin JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Bo Ryan lamented it was a coach's worst nightmare to prepare for Cornell in one day. He was partially correct. Game day was just as bad, if not worse.

No. 12 Cornell continued its magical journey Sunday afternoon in the NCAA tournament, exploding to an early double-digit lead and sending another favorite home in its 87-69 win over No. 4 Wisconsin here at Veterans Memorial Arena.

o Advances them to their first-ever Sweet 16 appearance next weekend against No. 1 seeded Kentucky at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, just one hour from their New York campus.

o Improves their record to 29-4 overall, breaking an Ivy League record for wins in a season (the 1970-71 Penn Quakers were 28-1).

o Gives the Big Red consecutive wins over Top 25 teams in a span of three days after going 17 years without one at all (4-63 all-time versus Top 25 teams).

o Gives them their 17th win in their last 18 games.
