Re: Fortress Invitational- 5:30 Pacific - 4 years ago
Dafatone I'm probably just anxious, but an endless overtime in a game that doesn't matter would just cause me to stress out about potential injuries. Could be worse, the World Cup used to make teams come back the next day to replay the game if it was a knockout round.by mountainred - Hockey

Earl must have lit a fire under the guys at halftime, because the second half was all Big Red. 100-68 final as Cornell shot over 80% for most of the the second half. Big games by Noll (21 points) and Dolan (18 points 4 assists in 17 minutes).by mountainred - Other Sports

Next year Earl has got to get this program headed in the right direction, or else a coaching change may be in order.

scoop85 mountainred Worst one yet, as the guys squander a 15 point second half lead and lose 80-76 to fall to 1-0. A dubious intentional foul on Jones with about 4 minutes left didn't help, the team just lost their poise late. Almost impossible to blow that many 2nd half leads.

Another depressing loss: 'gate 66-58 Game started well, as Cornell had a 44-33 lead early in the second half, in large part because the offense moved well and took good shots. Then the wheels fell off and Colgate went on a 23-2 run that saw lots of poor 3's and slow D. Colgate could't put the Red away, but Cornell also couldn't make enough plays to get closer than 5 and the game kind of endeby mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Wrestling 2019-20 - 4 years ago
I didn't expect a lot, but blah. Tucker's win was very him. 5 wins by a total of 16 points. His defense is amazing. Darmstadt's defense is troubling as he lost by fall twice. Losing to Venz is disappointing but not the end of the world; the loss to the unranked Gopher was terrible. At least he did beat ISU's Colbray who I've seen ranked in the top 10.

scoop85 Trotsky Seesaw battle with Lafayette on ESPN+ in a prime display of white prep school hoops. And another close loss, 62-59, to a quality Lafayette squad. Cornell is likely the best 1-7 team in the country, but the record is what it is. They are what 4 or 5 possessions from 5-3? The three point shooting is killing them. They can't be this bad at that, can they?by mountainred - Other Sports
Re: Men's basketball 2019-20 - 4 years ago
Lafayette hits a late 3 and wins 62-59. Back and forth, and sloppy, the entire game. Boeheim had 27 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, but received almost no offensive support. The amazing stat is the team shot 3-21 from behind the arc. 14%. Didn't think that was possible at this level.by mountainred - Other Sports

klehner mountainred On a forward-looking note, how many of the Finger Lakes Ivyshirts do you think would start today? Ramirez and Fernandez would have to be favored to take over at 165 and 285, right? I’m not sure I would bet against Foca at 174 or Cardenas (when healthy) at 197 either.

Turns out the next three weren't pretty. The losses to DePaul and Syracuse were expected (and the guys hung with the Orange for 30 or so minutes) but last night's Coppin State overtime loss was awful basketball. One bright side was the rebounding: 26(!) offensive boards and 54 total. The D was okay I guess, but CSU's offense was 15 seconds of playground ball followed by a wild shot or a thrby mountainred - Other Sports

Al DeFlorio mountainred Next up, a home game with NJIT that is winnable, but will be tough. Certainly was "winnable" with an 18-point halftime lead, yet another last second 1-point loss. Sorry to say, but this is a pick-up team on offense. No system, pattern or weave. Disappointing from Earl, who has apparently forgotten his basketball roots.

semsox mountainred In all, a nice win. Bryant is also supposed to stink, so a 2-0 start is doable. Twas not to be. Bryant pulls out the 1 point win at home. Looks like it will be another long season. Boeheim missed a shot at the buzzer that would have won it. Bryant had narrow losses to Brown and Rutgers, so this loss is disappointing, but not the end of the world.

Encouraging start for the guys, cruising past Bingo 84-64. The Bearcats aren't good, but it nice to have a comfortable second half. The offense looked like it made the transition from Matt to Boeheim (24 points on a great shooting night). Warren played well in his usual role (19 points, 7 assists) and McBride looked like his freshman version (15 points only 1 turnover). Sr. Thurston McCarty iby mountainred - Other Sports

The guys start up the season on Tuesday (at home versus Binghamton). There is a lot to replace. In addition to Matt's graduation, the BR lost their starting center and four rotation guards.
