NOT THAT TAIBBI DOESN'T MAKE SOME POINTS: Here, especially with the coded phrases sports media types use to describe racial characteristics. But really, Cornell is not a plucky team. They blew out their last two opponents! That's not pluck, that's team play. It's hard not to root for them even if they are all entitled kids, especially up against a hyper-entitled team (in terms of reputation and fanbase, not the players themselves) and a Calipari-coached team to boot.
