Re: general 2010-2011 basketball season thread - STUDENTS THERE IS A BASKETBALL GAME TONIGHT BE THERE - 13 years ago
What's the old saying: "It's not who starts, but who finishes"? Call me less than convinced on Coach C's rationale, even though the last four games have all be competitive and much more in line with what I was expecting this season. I mean, you are a division 1 basketball coach, shouldn't you be able to adjust playing time in a manner other than artificially adjusting your starting liby mountainred - Other Sports

Beating Penn is always good, especially when a bad call tried to hand the game to the Quakers. Considering the record, the wins over Brown (after the late collapse the night before) and last night (after blowing a 17 point first half lead) show a lot of character. I still have no idea what Courtney is doing starting Figini, Matthews and MAA, since they combined for a total of 19 minutes. Buby mountainred - Other Sports
Re: general 2010-2011 basketball season thread - 13 years ago
At this point, it may be best just to pretend this year never happened. Perhaps we canceled the season as a homage to last year's squad? I'm willing to go with that. This team is less than the sum of its parts -- parts which should at least be able to contend for .500. Some is bad luck (Wrobo just has never been healthy and this team needed him to be), but mostly this is a team that has notby mountainred - Other Sports

Title clinched! Mack with a dominating pin and Jochym gets a win at 197. 25-7 Cornell heading into the heavyweights. 25-10 final.by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: General 2010-11 Wrestling thread - 13 years ago
This one looks like the toughest of all. VT appears to be favored in six weight classes. Cornell will need Frank and DJ to pull off mild upsets.by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: General 2010-11 Wrestling thread - 13 years ago
And that's what happens (sorry for being self-referential). Cornell wins five matches in a row: Dake (149), Meagher (157), Kerber (165), Lewnes (174) and Bosak (184). Mack and Steve get the bonus points that are the difference: Lewnes with a Major Dec. and Steve with a huge Tech. Fall. Cornell beats Missouri 18-15. Special shout out to DJ, for a match saving win, and Jochym who filled in fby mountainred - Other Sports

Cornell wins their first round match with tOSU 27-6. Only losses were at 133 and 197 where the Big Red are without their starters (Grey and Simaz, who supposedly didn't even make the trip to Iowa). Next up is Missouri. Without Cam, it is easy to see each side winning five bouts and the decision coming down to bonus points.by mountainred - Other Sports

Buffalo 78 Cornell 66 @ Newman. An astounding 28% shooting night from inside the arc. How is that even possible? This is looking like a lost season for hoops, and if that is the price to pay for last season so be it. There is time out there for Courtney's first batch of recruits next season, but the rebuilding may not start until then.by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: general 2010-2011 basketball season thread - 13 years ago
Philly, I wouldn't throw the towel in on Courtney just yet. I won't defend our end of game performance -- it's been brutal -- but it's Courtney's first year in the big chair. He can learn and manage late game situations better down the road. It's like watching a freshman point guard make ill-advised passes: if he improves, you give him more playing time; if he's still making those mistakes asby mountainred - Other Sports
Re: general 2010-2011 basketball season thread - 13 years ago
This was a 17 point lead with 11 minutes and change to go, that was whittled to four in the last minute. The win is great, but it's hard to get too excited when you win by six after hitting over 70% of your three-pointers. Nice to to have the skill to do that, but it's not happening very often (if again this season), The offense is just far too dependent on the three point shot, which leadsby mountainred - Other Sports
Re: general 2010-2011 basketball season thread - 13 years ago
Philly, your "overreaction" is understandable; the Binghamton and Bucknell losses were very disappointing. Right now, I'd be pleased with the way the guys turned their season around if they finish 7-7 in the league.by mountainred - Other Sports
