Five percent. That's the current intra-conference road winning percentage of Ivy League teams not named "Cornell."
Brown is 0-1. Yale is 0-1. Penn is 0-2. Princeton is 0-3. Dartmouth is 0-5. Harvard is 0-5.
Columbia is a real road warrior by comparison, with its relatively sparkling 1-3 record away from Levien Gymnasium.
Come to think of it, it's not surprising that the Lions would have some success on the road: Playing at Levien, there are often more of the visiting team's fans than Lions fans in attendance.
Baumann and Co. are used to it by now.
Is it hard to win away games in the Ivy League? Sure. But these numbers are absolutely mind-boggling.
For comparison, last year's intra-conference road winning percentage - excluding 7-1 Penn - was a more normal 33 percent. And in 2006, it was 37 percent.
Parity, shmarity. Before the season, "parity" was the word of the day when it came to describing Ivy League basketball.
Defending champion Penn was weakened by the graduation of three All-Ivy players in Ibrahim Jaaber, Mark Zoller and Stephen Danley.
Cornell, Columbia and Yale all crept into the picture as potential contenders. And through the non-conference portion of this season, even the typically-lowly Bears roared and got noticed.
But now, three weeks into the Ivy season, Cornell has established itself as the undisputed frontrunner. It's 6-0 in League play, and has dispatched its top competition - Columbia, Yale, Penn and Brown - in relatively breezy fashion.
Overall, the Big Red are outscoring Ivy opponents by an average of 14 points per contest, and their closest win was by six against Columbia.
Not quite for all of the marbles. This weekend could be the key for determining how the rest of the Ivy race will play out.
Cornell is leading the league by two games, and is expected to sweep doormats Harvard and Dartmouth on Friday and Saturday.
But if the Big Red lose, that's when things get interesting. They would be left at 6-2.
Behind them right now are the Bears at 4-2.
Whoever wins Friday night's matchup between Brown and Penn will be the only two-loss team left in the Ivy League.
If Brown wins out this weekend and Cornell slips up, we'll have a tie atop the standings.
If Penn takes down the Bears and Bulldogs - not an unlikely scenario given the Quakers' dominance at the Palestra - then it'll be the ones in prime position to try and overtake the Big Red.
Of course, chances are Cornell makes this point moot and begins next week 8-0.
