Re: Men's Basketball 21-22 - 3 days ago
scoop85 Al DeFlorio You know things are going your way when a 3-pointer goes in off the backboard. That was scored by freshman Chris Cain, which brings up interesting recruiting story. Cain is from my area, and I was familiar with him as the top local player from newspaper articles his senior year in 2020. At the end of that season I saw an article that he was named player of the year for the rby mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Men's Basketball 21-22 - 4 days ago
Looks like I missed a good one due to holiday travel, but Williams’ stat line impresses and he looked good against Penn St. I still like Jones’s overall game a little better, but that opinion won’t age well if Nazir keeps on this trajectory. Canisius is pretty good, and tough to beat at home. I think their record is a bit deceiving as they really overscheduled. But it is very winnable. Corby mountainred - Other Sports

upprdeck pSu shot 50% for the game other than that cornell did more than hold their own.. led most of the night.. Still they took too many bad shots at then 4 missed FTs late and multiple driving layups.. Other games they got those called as fouls but tonight just tough runners that didnt go in, Play like that and they can be near the top of the Ivies.

Penn St. closes on a 24-9 run to win 85-74. Game was much closer than that score indicates; Cornell led with 6 to go. Basically, the Nits hit 15 of 34 from behind the arc, while Cornell was just 9 of 32. They also hit 9 of 10 at the line to close the game out.by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Men's Basketball 21-22 - 6 days ago
billhoward mountainred Should be a good test for the guys tonight. Cornell has got to keep Penn State from dominating the offensive rebounds. Some hot shooting from behind the arc would be nice too. The test is stacked against Cornell by 14-15 points if the betting line is accurate. But, you know, Colgate took down Syracuse, so there are possibilities. Penn St. 41 Cornell 38 at the half.

djk26 Cornell eases past Wells College in the first ever meeting between the two schools, 107-48. I normally wouldn't post about what was essentially an exhibition game, but I thought it was cool that all 16 players on Cornell's roster scored at least 2 points. When's the last time that happened? I doubt it has ever happened against a D-1 opponent. I hope Sports Info meant every healthy playby mountainred - Other Sports

New names that were heroes for Cornell: Sophs. Sean Hansen (11p, 3A) and Keith Boothby (10P, 9R). Those two were 4 of 5 from behind the arc; the rest of the team 2-20. Boothby really looks like a heck of a shooter.by mountainred - Other Sports

Re: Men’s soccer - 14 days ago
No idea if this website is particularly accurate, but it has Cornell as the 4th team out. It seems to assume the committee will go straight down the RPI list. Cornell has two wins against teams they project in the field, Marist and UC Santa Barbara, but they are auto-bids with RPIs below Cornell. Otherwise, the best result is the draw with Syracuse RPI 56). TL/DR: ugarte is right, the seby mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Men's Basketball 21-22 - 16 days ago
billhoward I'm trying to think, what are other schools named UNC -- Nebraska-Columbus, pop 25,000? It could have been the Univ. of Northern Colorado in beautiful Greeley, Colorado, about midway between Denver and the Wyoming line. They've been D1 for a couple of minutes. But nope, it was the UNC that is a basketball arena surrounded by a campus. Brown loses 94-87.by mountainred - Other Sports

Re: Men's Basketball 21-22 - 19 days ago
Yeah, Bingo is not very good, but better to win these games than lose them. A lot is going to ride on whether any bigs develop to help Dickson out. 16 offensive rebounds is way too many to give up. A better team will make Cornell pay for that. Still, 1-0 is better than the alternative.by mountainred - Other Sports
Men's Basketball 21-22 - 20 days ago
I know there was a topic for the pre-season poll, but thought a more general topic was appropriate. The season begins on Tuesday with a trip to Binghamton (okay, Vestal). Pretty much everyone who played significant minutes the last time there was a Cornell basketball game (612 days ago, as Cornell sports information seems to like to say) is gone, so I have no earthly idea what to expect thisby mountainred - Other Sports

Re: Cornell's men's basketball recruits - 1 year ago
Saw Cornell added two hoops recruits. Today there was an announcement of Guy Ragland, Jr., a 6-8 PF from Thomas More School. And sometime over the past few months -- time has lost meaning -- Brian Earl responded to Ken's complaints by signing a 6-10 center out of San Jose in Ryan Kiachian. Neither have other offers of note, at least according to Verbal Commits, but I'll look forward to watchingby mountainred - Other Sports
