Guy's play continues to be a concern.
This game reminds me too much of Fordham.

Cornell opens with a 19-0 run. Colgate cuts lead to 40-33 at the half.
I'm at the game, and a decent crowd here. No concession stands are open; they have 2 vending machines. Cornell should be embarrassed.

Yeesh 47 rebounds for Colgate to 31 for Cornell. Rebounding is our Achilles Heel.

Nice win. Hoping to just give Baylor some stress on the second and then go into Ivy play confident.

It was weird how often the broadcast said that Cornell was doing a good job on the boards even though our eyes saw offensive rebound after offensive rebound for Colgate.

17pt dogs.
But the good news is the pace Baylor wants to play at wont be the issue.. Its will we make the wide open 3s and will they miss theirs?
The crowd might be down a bit and maybe the kids are on break down there as well?
This is not where they have played most of their home games.

What’s very confusing to me is that Cornell’s style of play (fast tempo, full court press, lots of threes) seems to lend itself to plenty of upsets, but inconsistent play. But, what we have actually gotten over the past few years is the team very consistently beating worse teams and never upsetting better teams. We came close vs Miami last year but it is surprising to me that we have never upset a power 5 team recently and have won so consistently against worse teams.

Hard not to love this team.
We have no chance if we don't rebound, and so far I think Baylor has gotten the rebound of every shot they've missed but one. I don't know what the answer is, or if there even is an answer.

Refs not helping us out much, two push offs that led to Baylor O rebounds uncalled and some other soft fouls on Cornell. They did miss a pretty obvious offensive foul on Ragland though so they might just be bad.

Wow the new Baylor (Foster Pavilion) is beautiful and very cool Cornell was the first to play them in grand opening game. Even Bill Gates was in attendance, although I am not sure of his affiliation with Baylor.
Cornell played well in a lot of areas, but agreed we could not sink shots from the Arc (3 pointers) and there were a bunch of missed foul shots. The Ivy League season is always tough and wishing our team well. Go Big Red!

Went to a party at Wells in the mid-80s once. It did not go Wells.
Speaking of not going wells, not particularly enthused about the defense played in this first half against Columbia. And Chris Manon needs to stop thinking he's on the Harlem Globetrotters.

That possession where they got three offensive rebounds and missed four three-pointers I thought would kill them, but then Boothby hit back-to-back threes and they were up 9 ... until Columbia of course hit a three. Got a huge break that the next (ridiculous) three was in-and-out.

Sometimes I get the feeling that we go on a big run, open up a lead, and some guys on the team begin to think they're Curly Neal and start to play Globetrotters' ball. And next thing you know, we're not blowing them out any longer.

That final was *a lot* closer than I thought it was going to be when I looked it up but at least the Brown trey that cut the lead to 84-83 was at the buzzer, so, meaningless as long as we didn't foul.

Went to the game today in person. I think it was around the 2nd half 12 minute timeout (had a ~10+ point lead) where I told my wife, "Any road win is good, and we'll be 3-0 in the Ivy". Needless to say, the rest of the game was not as enjoyable, but the point still stands. Good win

It could happen with a tailwind and a few more W's including against Princeton and Yale. The AP Top 25 has 46 teams including the also-receiving-votes. Princeton is one of the also-mentioned.Trotsky
Any chance Cornell gets into the polls this year, even as "Also receiving votes"?
Here is the Ivy League power rankings. Read from the bottom to see which team might upset us.
NCAA Men's College Basketball Power Index 2023-24 (ESPN) 1/22/24
1 Houston
...
31 Princeton
89 Cornell
97 Yale
169 Harvard
189 Penn
214 Columbia
258 Brown
337 Dartmouth
…
362 Mississippi Valley State 0-19
If the question is, Could Cornell get invited to the dance other than by winning the ILT tournament, it seems on the cusp of possible. 32 teams get autobids, 36 more get invited.

Cornell 105 Wells 49. Good game for the whole bench to get some minutes. The starters played the first 10 minutes before sitting out the rest of the game.
Does anyone know why Isaiah Gray was out and if he’ll be back for Princeton?

At the end of the Wells game on ESPN+ it looked like he was favoring his right leg/ankle. Hey how about some love from the Cornell Sun for the Roundballers. Also check out the Big Red Ballers podcast on the Big Red Sports Network website.

If cornell wants to be on the edge of an at large they need to split with Princeton.

Yep. This would be a good statement win if they were able to pull it off.

Just like when we were cold against Columbia, you know this won't continue for Princeton in the 2nd half. Hopefully our kids learned from the Fordham game and can step on their throat in the 2nd half irrespective of a Princeton reversal of fortune.

yup - second halves have been a bigger issue, even though we do keep hanging on. can't ask for any more out of the first half, though, aside from two unnecessary fouls by Manon.Mr. Niss

It seemed noteworthy to me that Brian had Manon and Williams on the floor for much of the half and did not rotate them out like he does in other games. Of course, Gray's absence has a great deal to do with that I'm sure, but it also seems to show the importance that Cornell has placed on this game. And this plan (of having Manon on the floor) is why especially that last foul on Manon was so terrible ... we can't afford for him to wind up in silly foul trouble in the second half.

1. Up by 19 at the half over Princeton, that's incredible.mike1960
So far, so good.
2. Versus Princeton in hoops is like versus Harvard in hockey. But there are lots of empty seats.
3. The TV image quality is good; hockey is marginal, perhaps because Cornell's lighting is bush league compared to new rinks such as Colgate and Quinnipiac.

Nice job rebounding, boxing out. Forcing bad shots.
The individual hero ball is not as effective as the good passes.

With 5+ minutes gone, Princeton has only picked up +1 points versus the halftime margin.

Princeton has decided to double Hansen. He needs to find the open man.

OK I know I bitch about officiating every game and I've tried not to say anything today. But some of these calls against Cornell, again, are ridiculous.

They are doubling the ball down low. There are easy ways to score when they do that.

Another completely unnecessary reach in. you kind of get the aggressiveness in a package deal with what makes him a special player but you have to adjust the dial for game situation. and yeah, niss, some of the calls are ridiculous (thinking of the one on nazir).Mr. Niss

These referees are incompetent. There's no way that was a foul on Hansen, just like there's no way that was a foul on Nazir.
