Re: Men's lax Cornell at Penn 3/30/2024 - 2 months ago
It feels like we are really predictable on offense.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Men's lax Cornell at Penn 3/30/2024 - 2 months ago
It feels like we're constantly looking for the perfect shot. That's a big 6x6 goal. Make the goalie work.by mike1960 - Other Sports

This short stick defense is killing me. They are just running past them to the topside and shooting.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Men's lax Cornell at Penn 3/30/2024 - 2 months ago
upprdeck The key to this season is will the D get better. We can score given chances but the D has to limit the easy goals we have been giving up We let Yale get up top two or three times. That's going to happen sometimes in lacrosse, but those are easy goals for a D1 shooter. We were beat on the right wing against a shorty on one possession and no one picked up the ballcarrier, and he went riby mike1960 - Other Sports

Quint has us #6. 6) Cornell “Hard Hat 21” is now in the catbird seat to host the Ivy League tournament after defeating Yale on Saturday following last week’s win at Princeton. The penalty kill unit and CJ Kirst won the day in the high scoring affair with Yale. Cornell’s offense is multi-pronged and dynamic. Just love watching this group play. The defense is not good, ranking #62 in theby mike1960 - Other Sports

mountainred ugarte Ken711 upprdeck maybe his style its an easier path to the tourney for him? Or having to face Yale and their 7 foot center for 2 more years.Or he'd rather live in Virginia than Ithaca? Yale fans are convinced Wolf is taking NIL money and bailing, but they could be seeing ghosts. Williamsburg is an odd place. Summers are brutal because it is nearly swamp land (worse thanby mike1960 - Other Sports

Ken711 mike1960 Cornell lacrosse won. Cornell won the ECAC hockey championship. Arujau wins another national title in wrestling. A very good day! Yes it was. The only downer is Brian Earl leaving. It was a downer, but kind of expected. I appreciate what he did for the program and wish him well.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 2 months ago
Good win today! The team played well on both sides of the ball. They really fought from the wings on the faceoffs, and they did some damage with the rides. I didn't mind R Goldstein getting in the face of the Yale Bulldog. You never want penalties, of course, but I like a player who claims the field, esp. a freshman. Cascadden has that quality too. He doesn't take crap from anyone. Shouldby mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 2 months ago
Tough news, but I guess it was expected that he wouldn't stay forever. I hope the AD chooses someone who knows how to win, even if it's at a lower division. Choosing assistant coaches based on pedigree and coaching trees is a gamble.by mike1960 - Other Sports

ugarte Duke v Syracuse on ESPN+ and 'Cuse is leading 8-2 late in Q3. I caught a little bit at the end. That Syracuse defense plays hard, and they play together. That's going to be a tough game.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell vs Ohio State NIT game - Preview - 2 months ago
chimpfood Seems like we are incapable of beating power teams, just seems like a mental block honestly. I think we played a great game without Manon and being outsized by a lot. We've got a good program going now.by mike1960 - Other Sports

semsox mike1960 semsox Officiating has not been kind, but we are showing alot of fight Ya can't get in another player's face in college. They'll call that every time. Somehow I doubt the same play made by OSU is resulting in that same call. My comment also wasn't meant to be limited to that play, as OSU has rightfully been playing us very physical given their size/athleticism advantage all gaby mike1960 - Other Sports

ugarte mike1960 We're fouling a lot. I wonder if we're getting tired.We're outsized. Mostly smart fouls imo. 75-74, OSU with ~3:30 left and Cornell will have the ball coming out of a timeout Earl called to resettle the offense. Reach in fouls.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 3 months ago
CU77 Sticking to mlax only, AN 1) fired Ben DeLuca for unspecified reasons 2) hired Matt Kerwick, who drove the team into a ditch 3) made Peter Milliman spend a year as "acting" HC, then lost him to JHU Yes, we lucked out because CB (who started as a volunteer assistant) turned out to be really excellent. I'm not sure we had much chance of keeping Milliman from going to Hopkinsby mike1960 - Other Sports

Highlights. I see Gilmartin was beat over the top on Princeton goal #6. He has to use his body to force the player north and south. Something to work on.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 3 months ago
rss77 Per the ESPN coverage-I know it's cheaper for them to have remote announcers but they could have invested in a on site spotter to convey the adjustments made in the respective teams' lineups. E.g. Cornell short stick d-middies- no Chris Davis or Aiden Blake doing shifts, etc. The freshman Gilmartin did a good job overall, I thought. He was burned once by Mackesy who went right on him toby mike1960 - Other Sports
