BOSTON COLLEGE VS. CORNELL - ALL-TIME SERIES
What to know about Cornell
• The Cornell men’s basketball team opens the 2022-23 season when it visits ACC foe Boston College on Monday, Nov. 7 at 8 p.m. at Conte Forum in Chestnut Hill, Mass.
• The contest will be the first meeting between the programs in more than a half century (1969), with the Golden Eagles winning all three previous meetings.
• Picked fifth in the Ivy League Preseason media poll, the Big Red is coming off a 15-11 season that included an appearance in the Ivy Tournament and a fourth-place finish among the Ancient Eight.
• Four starters have departed, with three of the seniors moving on to play as graduate transfers at other Division I institutions (Ivy League does not allow graduate student eligibility) — Dean Noll (Stony Brook), Kobe Dickson (Howard) and Sarju Patel (Albany).
• Over the past two seasons, seven grad transfers have gone on to play Division I basketball elsewhere — Jimmy Boeheim (Syracuse), Bryan Knapp (George Washington), Terrance McBride (Rice) and Riley Voss (Wright State).
• While the loss of four starters is usually crippling, the Big Red returns eight players who saw at least nine minutes of action per game for a squad that played at least 11 in each of its 26 contests.
• A win for the Big Red over the Golden Eagles would be the program's first win over an ACC school since 1951-52, snapping a 37-
game skid (last win was 58-51 vs. Wake Forest on Dec. 27, 151 at the Dixie Classic in Raleigh, N.C.).
