In 2010, they had two pro-caliber [not necessarily quite NBA caliber] senior talents in Wittman / Foote.  And Foote was a legitimate 7-footer who was big, strong, and athletic--the inside piece of the puzzle that most mid-majors lack, that enabled them to compete with bigger, more athletic teams.  Wittman was a 6-7 SF with tremendous shooting range.  A third senior, guard Dale, was an above average player.

Having that type of talent is rare in the Ivys, and catapulted them to the top of the league, and made them a team that could match up with the likes of Kansas [they got screwed by the refs AT Kansas, and screwed out of a win against the Jayhawks that they deserved] and other elite programs.

After that year, the three seniors graduated and their coach left for BC, knowing that he wouldn't be able to sustain / replicate the success he had with that group [especially Foote / Wittman].  After their departures, Cornell slipped back to equilibrium--which for the Big Red in general is being a middle of the pack Ivy League program.  Their results this year are worse than the norm.
