Apparently Danny Wolf is in the portal. Unless the Ivy embraces some type of NIL -- of course, I'm not holding my breath -- what Ivy basketball has built up since Princeton lost to Georgetown by one point as a 16 in 1989 will be flushed down the toilet.by Mr. Niss - Other Sports

I of course don't know if he's actually qualified, but I hope they just give it to Jon Jaques, for consistency in how they've played, for recruiting consistency, and because as an alum perhaps he'd stay longer if he has success than someone who would leave us for a program like William & Mary.by Mr. Niss - Other Sports

Re: Cornell @ Clarkson, 2/23 - 2 months ago
Dafatone We're literally 16-4-5 and we have people crawling out of the woodwork to pout about a late goal when we've killed 11 minutes of penalties. Hard to believe. Saying the icing was a bad play is pouting? Someone who's lived and died (and who gives money to) Cornell sports for 40 years is crawling out of the woodwork because I came over here after the basketball game was over?

Re: Cornell @ Clarkson, 2/23 - 2 months ago
Dafatone Mr. Niss that was a terrible icing Just bad luck. That's not icing if the puck didn't roll on edge. the puck definitely was on edge but I agree with the mouthbreather that it probably would have been icing anywayby Mr. Niss - Hockey
Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 2 months ago
I love Brian Earl and I love this team, but there was some really dumb stuff in this game that hopefully can get cleaned up. What the hell are you touching the guy for there? But still a great win. Great heart. Down 3 and it seemed like the game was getting away from them, as they couldn't get a point. And still battle back, with the defense never letting up. LGR.by Mr. Niss - Other Sports

Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 2 months ago
shot badly and still up 10? I'll take it. Good rebounding job, defense I thought gave up too many easy hoops yet still was good overall. LGR.by Mr. Niss - Other Sports

seems nuts to me that on Friday at 7 the U will have Toledo vs Bowling Green and not Cornell-Yale, but who am I other than a Big Red homer (but not from Homer).by Mr. Niss - Other Sports
Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 3 months ago
chimpfood Good half but we gotta play cleaner defense and do better on wolf. Yale complaining about every call and no call is driving me nuts already, especially when these announcers back them up. I couldn't agree with this more, in all respects. I can't listen to this female broadcaster complain about Wolf's "touch fouls" as they call a clown foul on Gray with 1 second left.

Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 3 months ago
The fear, of course, is that we won't shoot this well the rest of the game. We have shown, however, that our defense is good enough to keep a game from getting away from us and give us a chance to withstand a cold spurt. Hopefully we won't have to worry about that at all today. This is a great first 12 minutes.by Mr. Niss - Other Sports
Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 3 months ago
Last I saw is +7.5. I don't get it. Seems like a lot. I expected +4.5 or +5. I also don't understand why ESPNU has Duquesne vs. St. Bonaventure at 2 PM. This would seem to be a much better game to show. Bigger audience, actual relevance. I don't understand a lot. Still wondering if I really graduated.by Mr. Niss - Other Sports

mountainred mike1960 mountainred ugarte Mr. Niss I don't understand Ken Pom, in particular how Yale is ranked so much ahead of us at 15-6 while we're 17-3. They've beaten nobody but Princeton. The have a couple of terrible losses. Their games against top teams aren't any better than ours. might be margin of victory; i think it measures by possession not just ultimate result.

Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 3 months ago
CU2007 Is there a world where Cornell continues winning but stumbles in say the Ivy League title game and gets an at large to the dance? I don’t know enough about college hoops but have always heard the Ivy League is, and always will be, a one bid league. Funny you mention this -- before the Cornell-Princeton game, there was talk somewhere (I think it might have been on ESPN) about *Princeton*by Mr. Niss - Other Sports

ugarte RichH Trotsky I thought from the posts that we had lost. True about a lot of game-chatter in the “Other Sports” forum. I swear given the grousing during lax season, I’m sometimes surprised when I find we won 16-7.to be fair to this thread, the posts went from "it's 19-0 Cornell" to "It's 27-21 Cornell" to "we're losing somehow" to "whew! we escaped,&quoby Mr. Niss - Other Sports

rss77 Harvard won't be easy tonight as they have good big man in Agjibor along with Chisom Opara and the freshman guard Malik Mack. They lack quality depth which should help Cornell Going into the weekend, I was very concerned about the Harvard game. But what happened last night might have been the best thing that could have happened going into tonight's game.by Mr. Niss - Other Sports
Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 3 months ago
upprdeck Bigger news is that Princeton went on the road and lost to Yale as well. So next weeks Yale game becomes even bigger, now that they both have a 2 game lead over Princeton The way things seem to be going, getting the #1 seed will be huge for whoever, as that team won't have to play one of Princeton-Yale-us in the first game.by Mr. Niss - Other Sports
Re: Cornell at Dartmouth, 1/27 - 3 months ago
Trotsky 3x3 and shootouts are shit, but this is the path the NHL has chosen, and so it is the path the NC$$ will follow. Make me dictator. I will end RS games after regulation, no overtime, and play tourny games 5x5 with 20 min periods until somebody scores, the end. Totally agree about the 3x3. It makes sense in the NHL, where the goal is entertaining the fans and an extra point here or tby Mr. Niss - Hockey
