r but since Cornell was ranked higher (and dueto the undoubted politics involved), the Big Red were invited to the tournament over a more deserving Saints team (I can't believe I'm actually giving SLU credit!). This despite the fact that the Saints were the hotter team at the team due to Cornell's late season slump. I know the polls don't mean anything now, but come late February, they do. PS- If you can't find anything else to do with it, I could always use a ceramic dalmation as a decoration piece. Bri Clarkson '95
