Re: Men's Basketball 21-22 - 2 years ago
Glad they rescheduled; otherwise, it would have been over three weeks between games heading into league play. Dartmouth has played 4 times since Cornell's last game. All losses, but narrow losses at Cal and Stanford, plus a narrow loss to Cal St. Bakersfield (who knew there was such an animal).by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Men's Basketball 21-22 - 2 years ago
No idea what happened to Collin. Those teams had some amazing guard depth (Dale, Reeves, 'ski, Gore), but Collin would have played some big minutes. Coury let me tell folks the Big Red had a guy coming off the bench who started at Kentucky! For some reason, Billy Gillispie would start Mark each half, pull him at the first TV timeout, then not play him for the rest of the half. i think Gillisby mountainred - Other Sports

underskill Wasn’t there a transfer from USC under Courtney too? I had forgotten about Collin Robinson, who Steve brought in. He played a ton in the non-conference portion of the 2008 season, and then quits right before league play.by mountainred - Other Sports

abmarks scoop85 Ken711 Cornell picked up a commitment from a 6'7" SG/SF today. Offers from Appalachian State, Boston College and Washington State. Seems like a good get. Has a 3 star rating from 247 and Rivals, and is among the top 75 small forwards in his class. Per Rivals he also had offers from Wichita State and Charleston. We don’t often get commits with offers from major conferenby mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Men's Basketball 21-22 - 2 years ago
Wanted this to be closer, but the Fighting Gobblers are on a different level than any Ivy team. Still, never thought these guys would be 8-2 heading into exam break. Meanwhile the Penn board is in full "Fire Steve" mode.by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Men's Basketball 21-22 - 2 years ago
djk26 I'm thinking the ceiling for this team is a non NCAA postseason tournament, which would actually be quite nice. I think that's a very reasonable goal, but thanks to the Ivy Tournament, the NCAA is completely out of reach. Just have to finish in the top four and get hot for one March weekend. Not likely, but more likely than having to win the regular season title.by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Men's Basketball 21-22 - 2 years ago
Hokies put together a 20-3 run late in the first half as the guys went like 1 for 10 from behind the arc + a handful of turnovers. Can still cover with an even second half.by mountainred - Other Sports

scoop85 mountainred Program record for points scored, but it was against a winless D3 school. I hope no one got hurt. Great that everyone who was healthy got plenty of court time. Wednesday a far bigger challenge at Va. Tech. Please tell me that Jones missing the game was purely precautionary.by mountainred - Other Sports

If you believe the computers, Coppin St. opened the season playing awful basketball and have improved to "bad but feisty." They have to be tired of travel though. They were in Buffalo the day before Thanksgiving, traveled to North Carolina for a Saturday game, then back up to Olean and Ithaca this week.by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Wrestling 21-22 - 2 years ago
Really looking forward to seeing how the team shakes out in Vegas. The prevailing wisdom seems to be Vito eventually goes to 125, but Greg D's upside seems to me so much greater than Dom's, and Vito will compete for a title at either weight (IMHO he's the only one who has a shot at Lee at 125). Of course, if Vito says he wants to wrestle at 125, let him. He's earned that choice. And 197 isby mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Men's Basketball 21-22 - 2 years ago
Guys host 1-10 Coppin State tonight, so they should win but the Eagles' last three losses have been by 3, 1, 2, and 12 (v. a really good Bona squad). They are going to break through against someone. Amazingly, this will be their 11th road game so far this season; life in the MEAC is tough. Coppin St. plays fast and Cornell so far has played even faster, so watch tonight's final score be someby mountainred - Other Sports

billhoward scoop85Coming into the year I thought this was a big year for Earl to show he could elevate the program, and he’s passing that test with flying colors. Right. You can't turn a program around in a year or two (Harkness needed 4 if turn around means NCAA championship) but you expect the coach of a major Cornell sport would show progress by around year five or you wonder if it's ever goiby mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Men's Basketball 21-22 - 2 years ago
89-75 final. Big Red led by as many as 27. The last time Cornell won at Canisius, they won the league. I'm sure there is causation there, right? Heck of game by Dolan: 12 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and didn't miss a shot. Dickson added 17 points. Pretty sure this is the best the team has looked overall since 2010.by mountainred - Other Sports

ugarte Trotsky So if we go into the Ivy season 7-2 are we still going to get creamed, or is this a good team?i think we're going to be middle of the pack. ivies aren't going to go on a crazy tournament run or anything but not a doormat conference either. 9-4 or 8-5 headed into the Ivy slate is likely (figure on losses to VaTech and SU, wins versus Coppin State and the D3, then a split of the reby mountainred - Other Sports

scoop85 Al DeFlorio You know things are going your way when a 3-pointer goes in off the backboard. That was scored by freshman Chris Cain, which brings up interesting recruiting story. Cain is from my area, and I was familiar with him as the top local player from newspaper articles his senior year in 2020. At the end of that season I saw an article that he was named player of the year for the rby mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Men's Basketball 21-22 - 2 years ago
Looks like I missed a good one due to holiday travel, but Williams’ stat line impresses and he looked good against Penn St. I still like Jones’s overall game a little better, but that opinion won’t age well if Nazir keeps on this trajectory. Canisius is pretty good, and tough to beat at home. I think their record is a bit deceiving as they really overscheduled. But it is very winnable. Corby mountainred - Other Sports

upprdeck pSu shot 50% for the game other than that cornell did more than hold their own.. led most of the night.. Still they took too many bad shots at then 4 missed FTs late and multiple driving layups.. Other games they got those called as fouls but tonight just tough runners that didnt go in, Play like that and they can be near the top of the Ivies.

Penn St. closes on a 24-9 run to win 85-74. Game was much closer than that score indicates; Cornell led with 6 to go. Basically, the Nits hit 15 of 34 from behind the arc, while Cornell was just 9 of 32. They also hit 9 of 10 at the line to close the game out.by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Men's Basketball 21-22 - 2 years ago
billhoward mountainred Should be a good test for the guys tonight. Cornell has got to keep Penn State from dominating the offensive rebounds. Some hot shooting from behind the arc would be nice too. The test is stacked against Cornell by 14-15 points if the betting line is accurate. But, you know, Colgate took down Syracuse, so there are possibilities. Penn St. 41 Cornell 38 at the half.

djk26 Cornell eases past Wells College in the first ever meeting between the two schools, 107-48. I normally wouldn't post about what was essentially an exhibition game, but I thought it was cool that all 16 players on Cornell's roster scored at least 2 points. When's the last time that happened? I doubt it has ever happened against a D-1 opponent. I hope Sports Info meant every healthy playby mountainred - Other Sports

New names that were heroes for Cornell: Sophs. Sean Hansen (11p, 3A) and Keith Boothby (10P, 9R). Those two were 4 of 5 from behind the arc; the rest of the team 2-20. Boothby really looks like a heck of a shooter.by mountainred - Other Sports
