ugarte upprdeck mountainred ugarte What in the world happened to Boothby's 3 point shot? He slipped last year considerably and was 0-3 last night.

Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 5 months ago
chimpfood Nice win considering the team got no minutes from tsang-Hinton, Baldwin, and watson, who I thought would all be important pieces this year. Anybody know what’s up with those guys, whether it was injuries or just healthy scratches? We should find out Wednesday when I would expect everyone who is healthy to log minutes.by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 5 months ago
Really helped that Lehigh shot 1-12 from behind the arc in the second half. Nice to steal a win when Williams was not at his best. Noard only started in one spot, but carried the offense in the first half, so it was kinda like two. Hansen just missed his career high and was clutch in the second half. But who had AK Okereke playing 25 minutes? Okereke was essentially a walk on, played a wby mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 5 months ago
Season Opener tonight at Lehigh. Last year v. the formerly Engineers was maybe the best game the guys played all season. The pregame notes list Gray, Manon and Noard as starters -- all expected -- but then list Sophomores Nix and Noard as joining them. Does anyone know if Nazir Williams is hurt?by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Men's Basketball 22-23 - 1 year ago
scoop85 Yale is a sound team and plays terrific defense. We’re playing hard and doing some good things, be we have to knock down some shots to stay in this Could have been a lot worse, but shooting under 40% almost certainly won't get it done. Not sure where this team's shooting touch went.by mountainred - Other Sports

Re: Wrestling 2022-23 - 1 year ago
ugarte mountainred Pulling for Brendan, but it seems unlikely to me. He's going to need a lot of things to break right for him. Still, what a tournament!The biggest thing that he has going for him is that the non-AQ heavyweights simply aren't all that impressive. (Brendan aside, who is great. Also, I met his dad in Philly and we talked for a bit. (For those who don't know), Furman's brotherby mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Men's Basketball 22-23 - 1 year ago
upprdeck I dont think they have played a complete game Since Jan.. Thats hard to see changing, but there is hope. No disagreement from me, but we still have a "chip and a chair." Yale looks like the team we thought they were before the season started (i.e., the best team in the league). Hard to believe they were 1-3 in the league at one point.by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Wrestling 2022-23 - 1 year ago
ugarte I've been poking around to see what Furman's chances are and I'm cautiously optimistic but there are a lot of contingencies. You have to have 2 of the eligibility criteria to be considered for at at-large bid, and those are: NCAA guide - .700 overall winning percentage - .700 Division I winning percentage at the weight class - Top 33 RPI (taken after the qualifying tournaments)by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Wrestling 2022-23 - 1 year ago
Only Brendan starts off with a must win match, right? Okay, I guess Yianni has to win to get a ticket, but I'm not losing sleep worrying on that one.by mountainred - Other Sports

CU2007 upprdeck guess they couldt get access to the gym after lunch True. On the plus side, with the big conferences mostly starting later in the day, and the games on national tv (ESPNU), we might get a lot of eyeballs. Guess that’s a positive. This is clearly made for TV scheduling and the Ivies are completely buried by the attention on the power conferences. As far as our guys, they cloby mountainred - Other Sports

Al DeFlorio CU2007 Let’s go Yale!! Do they have anything significant to play for after the results of these early games? First place, I believe. Yep. If they win, they get us and, I think, at least an NIT bid. If they lose, they get Penn.by mountainred - Other Sports

When it was 40-18, I was thinking Columbia didn't really want to be there was just playing out the string. Then they go on a 16-0 run where the Big Red looked every bit as bad as that run looks.by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Wrestling 2022-23 - 1 year ago
nshapiro ugarte I also have my eye on Berreyesa wrestling for Nickerson at Northern Colorado in the Big 12 tournament and really hope he makes it. The conference is deep but they have 6 bids and though he's not seeded, I can definitely see him getting there - he was 23 in the last coaches poll. I've had the opportunity to talk to him a little and he's a great kid and I know he's still close to hiby mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Wrestling 2022-23 - 1 year ago
Thanks Ugarte. Interesting move at 184, but Grey is probably in a no win situation and just trying to sneak out a point or two in the wrestlebacks. Feel free to correct me, but I can see a strange pattern of two wrestlers and the goals for the rest of the way.

Re: Men's Basketball 22-23 - 1 year ago
chimpfood Max was hurt but he’s been back the past few games and back to his high scoring ways. I’m still very hopeful for our chances as Columbia should be an easy win and if any team can pull off upsets it’s this one. Nazir missed two or three games, but he's back. I don' think there has been a meaningful injury other that his. I'm not sure there are easy wins for this team right now, butby mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Men's Basketball 22-23 - 1 year ago
Pretty brutal second half. Cornell is still the 4 seed with a win v. Columbia and a Brown loss to Yale. As Upperdeck says, Yale will be playing for the top seed and the chance to avoid Penn/Princeton, so there is something. Not that I see this team winning a game at the ILT right now.by mountainred - Other Sports

Re: Men's Basketball 22-23 - 1 year ago
Last night Cornell won the turnover battle by 8, yet somehow had 5 fewer points off turnovers. Not sure I've ever seen that before. And because Manon started in place of Boothby, Cornell had just 5 bench points out of the total of 95. Boothby, Ragland and Watson were all shutout. I'm sure all that means something, but I have no idea what.by mountainred - Other Sports

IMHO, in the Harvard, Penn and Princeton losses, it was the defense that really let them down. You score 80+ in an Ivy game, you take it and you should win. But you can't let up 90. Ragland shoots way, way too much. You can't lead the team in 3's taken and make under 30% of them. Boothby though has found his stroke in league play (He did stink OOC).

Re: Wrestling 2022-23 - 1 year ago
ugarte nshapiro I noticed that in overtime, they didn't stop it when Furman got the takedown, letting him finish the pinning opportunity. Is it theoretically possible to score the first points in overtime and then lose, if, while on top, you get pinned from the bottom trying for a pin?good question, and maybe, but i don't think so. they don't give you much continuation - basically only as longby mountainred - Other Sports
