LAST MEETING: Cornell won 65-63 in the championship game of the Lafayette Holiday Tournament in 2003-04.
FAST BREAK: Liberty is playing for just the second time in 23 days after taking lengthy breaks first for exams and then for the holidays. The Flames will play twice in two days at the Marriott Cavalier Classic. Cornell is 4-3 against current Big South members, going 1-0 against Gardner-Webb and Winthrop, 1-1 against Liberty and 1-2 against Radford. Liberty is playing its fifth game against an Ivy League member. The Flames are also 0-1 against Harvard and 1-0 against Dartmouth. The winner of tonight’s game will likely face Virginia and Naismith and Wooden Award candidate Monica Wright. Liberty won its last meeting with the Cavaliers at JPJA, riding 37 points from Megan Frazee to the upset victory. Virginia plays Samford tonight in the other semifinal game.
