Cornell wins their 12th straight Ivy title and 63rd straight Ivy dual by beating Columbia 22-15. A lot of things fell into place for Columbia. Four Big Red starters were out and the Lions won all four of those matches, including the dual's only pin. But Jace Bennett and Jacob Aiken-Phillips get shutouts at 197 and Hwt. to secure the win.by mountainred - Other Sports

Ken711 1-18 soon to be 1-19 after the Princeton game. The Ivies have been a nightmare for Princeton, but I agree. Still, the team has been hanging around in every Ivy game. I think they've "covered" Ken Pomeroy's expected margin in every league game. With six of the last eight at home, they'll break through against someone.by mountainred - Other Sports

Re: 2013-2014 Basketball - 10 years ago
Swampy billhoward TimV mountainred I generally agree with honoring contracts, if for no other reason than paying someone not to coach is a lousy use of money. 23 straight D1 losses trumps that in my mind, but I'm not the one making out the budget. Agree with your statement on trump, but your first sentiment really kills recruiting. Has anyone (covering Cornell basketball) talked to the playerby mountainred - Other Sports

In an interesting bit of compare and contrast: Dartmouth lost its best player (and one of the league's best) for the season a few weeks back. This weekend they swept Penn and Princeton.by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: 2013-2014 Basketball - 10 years ago
Ken711 Can they beat Yale to avoid 1-17? Unlikely -- Ken Pomeroy gives the Big Red a 6% chance at winning. Yale draws a ton of fouls and Cornell sends team to the line like it's our job. But after last night we are probably "due" for a good a night from behind the arc.by mountainred - Other Sports

Re: 2013-2014 Basketball - 10 years ago
phillysportsfan On the bright side they did play well in the 1st half, they werent chucking 3's like they usually do. They were really attacking the basket and the defense was good. 2nd half everything fell apart. Courtney has to go. If they finish the year with 1 win, I dont see how he comes back It was nice to see them not chucking 3's. Under BC, more than 40% of our shots have been 3's. Whiby mountainred - Other Sports
Re: 2013-2014 Basketball - 10 years ago
phillysportsfan A new losing streak begins tonight, 2 Ivy wins would be an accomplishment at this point To the team's credit they didn't quit. Columbia was up 18 with the ball with 5:30 to go and the Big Red started a run that cut it to 7 with Scelfo on the line for 3 at :50. Dom then missed two of three and Cornell didn't score again in the 71-61 loss. Of course, there is the problem of fallby mountainred - Other Sports
Re: General 2013-14 Wrestling thread - 10 years ago
Cornell lays out Lehigh 33-7, winning 8 of the 10 weights. Biggest win is probably freshman Brian Realbuto's major decision (8-0) over top 10 ranked and defending EIWA champ Joe Napoli. Nice win for Villalonga over a ranked opponent as well.by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: 2013-2014 Basketball - 10 years ago
Ned Tomic was the big dog in the win: 20 points, 9 rebounds, 3 blocks. He's from NE Ohio and probably wanted no part of hearing about an Oberlin win.by mountainred - Other Sports

phillysportsfan I just hope they make a change after this season, another year of this isn't tolerable I totally agree, Philly. I know losing Miller hurts, but the lack of progress over the season is discouraging. It's hard to remember but these guys were fiesty against Syracuse and should have beaten both Loyola and Binghamton, but let them off the hook.

Re: 2013-2014 Basketball - 10 years ago
phillysportsfan Courtney has to go. He can recruit but he doesnt know how to coach. There is talent on this team but they havent improved at all in his 4 years. They dont play like a team. They stand around the outside of the 3pt line passing the ball around and then as the shot clock runs down a player is left to make a play on his own. This winless start may end up as a good outcome becauseby mountainred - Other Sports

billhoward Trotsky JayFisher90 Based on the tables I saw in the tribune we are the only winless team left in D1. Ugh. #1 draft pick though, right? "Conscript" Probably less funny if you're the player, his girlfriend, his parents, the coach, or the concession stand workers. NJIT ("Newark's MIT" lost 51 straight.

The collapse of the basketball program continues. The Big Red loses to St. Francis 72-62. The team now has two double digit losses at home to bottom 20 teams (Bingo and StF). I don't see any way the administration can bring BC back for another season.by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: General 2013-14 Wrestling thread - 10 years ago
Impressive performance for the wrestling team on their annual Las Vegas trip. The team finished fourth behind #6 Oklahoma, #7 Nebraska and #10 Ohio State, but were a man down as Mike Nevinger (149) was a late scratch. Mike's points certainly would have pushed the Big Red past Ohio State and maybe past Nebraska. The youngsters continue to impress and these guys have a very bright future.

Jim Hyla Ken711 Jim Hyla Ken711 I won't be surprised to see a coaching change after this season. Why wait? Change coaches during a season rarely happens. But, if you're going to change, it can make sense. And just because it rarely happens, isn't a reason for it not to happen. The practical reason is that your search is limited, as it will be very hard to pry away a quality candidate in mby mountainred - Other Sports

billhoward mountainred Louisville may not have scored a 100, but Notre Dame did. The 101-67 loss drops Cornell to 0-9 for the first time in over a century (the 04-05 team started 0-10.) Curiously, that team is listed as having no coach, so the teams have that in common too. <meow> Not even a chuckle?by mountainred - Other Sports

5 Big Red wrestlers won NY titles today: Grey (133), Villalonga (149), Realbuto (157), Dean (184), and Bennett (197). Garrett would have been a heavy favorite to win at 125 had he wrestled and Nevinger would have been favored at 141 (though Hofstra's Luke Vaith is very good). Right now I think 7 starters are set, barring injury. There are the two veteran national title contenders in Garrettby mountainred - Other Sports
Re: General 2013-14 Wrestling thread - 10 years ago
Easy win over Bingo this evening 33-6. The only two losses were at the weights were the regular starters (Garrett and Nevinger) were taking the night off. The freshman class continue to impress as Grey earns a tech fall while Realbuto and Dean get dominant pins.by mountainred - Other Sports
