Re: Men's Basketball 22-23 - 1 year ago
dbilmes Down by 8 late in second half. May need another big closing run to pull this one out. If we do, it would match our longest win streak since the season we went to Sweet 16 (2009-10). And they get it! Good guys escape with a 73-68 win. Lafayette completes a three point play with 4:08 to go, and never score again. Great defense down the stretch by the Big Red to close on an 11-0 run.by mountainred - Other Sports

41-41 at the half versus a mediocre Lafayette team. The Leopards hit 8 of 13 three pointers, including a banked in thirty-footer to end the half, and all seven of their foul shots.by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Men's Basketball 22-23 - 1 year ago
scoop85 ugarte Now that's balanced scoring. It’s the depth of this team that sets it apart from most college programs. No reason we shouldn’t be in the running for a top-4 league finish. For the season, Dolan is averaging 13.4 points a game to lead the team. The rest of the eight man rotation averages between 10.7 (Williams) and 8.1 (Ragland and Watson).

Mr. Niss WHAT. A. COMEBACK!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Uh, yep! Cornell closes on a 12-0 run to beat Delaware 74-67! This after the chickens had an 18-3 run late to seemingly put the game away. A lot of credit to the guys for fighting back on the road. With 4:26 left, Delaware led 65-54.

Re: Wrestling 2022-23 - 1 year ago
Swampy Weder Swampy One thing I’d expect, with considerable legitimacy, is for her to prioritize bringing women’s sports up to substantive (quality) rather than formal (financial) parity with men’s sports. This is already true in ice hockey, but I’m not aware of anything similar in our other more successful men’s sports (lax, wrestling, etc.) Of course, other sports might be viable alternatives,by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Wrestling 2022-23 - 1 year ago
scoop85 abkay Will wrestling remain a dominant program going forward without Andy as AD? Fair question. Colgate doesn’t have wrestling, while UNC, where Moore worked previously, has a solid program. But hard to imagine she’ll be as invested in wrestling as Noel has been. Plus, 11 years at Oklahoma, which takes wrestling seriously. I'd hope she would be invested in one of the few Big Red sporby mountainred - Other Sports

Out for the holiday weekend, but really wishing I could have watched the 53-16 run the guys had against Monmouth; from 7 down to up 30 is crazy. The top 8 on this team are really good. Dolan, Gray, Williams and Watson are a nice rotation at guard. Manon is difficult match-up at wing (when he plays in control). And Hansen, Ragland and Boothby provide different looks as our bigs.

Re: Men's Basketball 22-23 - 1 year ago
scoop85 Ragland actually hit a few threes (although I wish he’d concentrate on playing closer to the basket). You and me both scoop. Ragland could be a force if he shot just enough 3's that his man has to respect it and come out to guard him. His rebounding, defense and passing are really outstanding. Next stop: at winless Monmouth, but don't read too much into that because the Hawks overby mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Men's Basketball 22-23 - 1 year ago
Matinee win over Canisius 79-70. Most of the second half was played at a 12-ish point spread, until the Griffs hit 6 straight 3 pointers to get to within 5 at 75-70. Nice balance on offense as 6 players had 10, 11, or 12 points. Throw in 10 steals and winning the rebounding game.

Re: Cornell football 2022 - end of season, what next? - 1 year ago
billhoward Cornell was predicted to finish 8th and finished in a tie for sixth. That's better than expected for 2022 but not much of a record for David Archer's 10 years at the helm: 26-64. Archer will get another year, I believe: * It's his best year * It's an improvement on the previous season's 2-8 * There's nobody to take (or demand) a resignation, or start a search.

Guys sleepwalk through a win over IC (an inner city rival as Barry called them a couple of times) 83-61. Most of the game played in the 10-15 point range, so no chance to get the deep reserves any real time. Which sucks because that is about the only reason to play these D3 games.

Cornell escapes St. Francis with an 80-77 win they tried hard to give away, hitting just 4 of their last 10 FTs. Hansen with 26 pts, 5 assists, and no turnovers to be the MVP. He was perfect from the field and perfect from the line until he joined the team effort down the stretch. Dolan had 19, Gray was on fire in the first half, and Max Watson hit some key shots down the stretch. Earl isby mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Wrestling 2022-23 - 1 year ago
The Wrestling team opened the season, as is customary, with an open tournament in Binghamton. The guys who wrestled the most this summer (Vito, Yianni and World U23 silver medalist Jacob Cardenas) skipped the event. All in all it was a good day. Cornell wrestlers won titles at 133 (Ethan Fernandez, who is Vito's back up), 141 with freshman Vince Cornella, 174 with Chris Foca and 184 with Jon Lby mountainred - Other Sports

Re: Men's Basketball 22-23 - 1 year ago
Random thoughts: Williams is fricking talented and is going to be special. His body control is astounding. Dolan is a rock in the back court and very efficient. And Gray is a tremendous defender who looks like he can play some offense. If so, he's very valuable. Ragland could be a real difference maker if he played to his strengths and stayed near the glass, but 1-7 from behind the arby mountainred - Other Sports

Re: Men's Basketball 22-23 - 1 year ago
Happy to help. If Earl plays the same style, and all indications are that he will, the team is fun to watch. The game notes also list Williams, Dolan, Gray, Boothby and Hansen as the "probable" starters. Gray is a bit a surprise, but maybe that portends he's improved his shooting. Also a surprise to see Manon is likely not starting. Perhaps he's hurt, or maybe Earl wants to save hiby mountainred - Other Sports

Season begins Monday (tomorrow as I type this) at BC. Here's a thumbnail of the team for those who don't really follow. Last year saw Coach Earl change his style completely as the team played at a much faster pace (11th fastest in the nation) and used a ton of players (13 regulars who got at least 8 minutes a game). And it worked pretty well, 15 wins, 4th place in the league, and the Big Red wby mountainred - Other Sports
