Ken711 Cornell never seemed to get their mojo back after that loss to Brown in Ithaca. They were terrific last week against Columbia. Another game like that today and we’d be playing tomorrow. But credit to Yale, who never allowed us to get anything going.by scoop85 - Other Sports
Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 4 weeks ago
ugarte scoop85 Disappointing in that Yale controlled the tempo and made us play their game. We couldn’t get shots and never got into a rhythm. I had a feeling of doom when Mahoney hit the desperation 3 from 30 feet at the end of the shot clock to make it 9-2. We never really recovered after that. they scored ~10 with the buzzer sounding during flight. we couldn't get out shots to fall from 2 or 3by scoop85 - Other Sports

blackwidow All 3 games to colgate. Nice Actually Colgate beat us all 4 games. We gave it a good go today, but Colgate is a national championship contender, and we’re a cut below them this season.by scoop85 - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 4 weeks ago
Trotsky Colgate scores with 4 minutes to go. Only a matter of time. We can’t string any passes together, and Colgate has had the clear edge in play. I was hoping we could get to OT and score off a lucky bounce, but that seems like a big hill to climb now.by scoop85 - Hockey

Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 4 weeks ago
ugarte I would be worried that Earl would be Princeton's top candidate. I wouldn't say it's likely that he wants to return. It's certainly a reasonable thing to think but he built this program. He lives in Ithaca with his family and he's in a very secure position. Coaches who lose get to stick arond forever; he's probably bought himself a lifetime sinecure already, as long as he doesn't say the nby scoop85 - Other Sports
Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 4 weeks ago
Stanford fired its hoops coach and ESPN lists Princeton’s Mitch Henderson as one of the top candidates for the job. If he were to leave Princeton, I’d be worried that Earl would be Princeton’s top candidate, and it would seem likely he’d want to go back to his alma mater, which of course has a much stronger basketball tradition than Cornell.by scoop85 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 5 weeks ago
Al DeFlorio blackwidow mike1960 blackwidow Cornell lax primed to be the bottom of the ivy Jordan Stevens has coached some really good defenses, like the 2022 team that went to the title game. I'm sure they'll work hard this week on picking up the ball a little sooner and protecting the topside so they can help the goalie on Sunday. I think the young coaching staff is being found out for who tby scoop85 - Other Sports

I know it sucks right now but we have a team good enough to win the league.i mean sure but come on man. why would you chastise someone for pessimism after that game? we're not the best team in the conference and we're not playing well enough to have any confidence that we'll face them anywayby scoop85 - Hockey

Big Dingus Offense looking anemic Disagree. We’ve missed several excellent chances and have had plenty of O zone time. We’ve been a bit too leaky defensively, and having an usually poor night on faceoffsby scoop85 - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ St. Lawrence, 2/24 - 7 weeks ago
George64 I’ve watched and rewatched our two extra-man goals against SLU, 6 skaters versus 5. More players clogging up the ice than on our power plays, yet we scored twice in 91 seconds. What was different? IMO, a greater sense of urgency! We didn’t dick around looking for the perfect set up. We didn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Excellent pointby scoop85 - Hockey
Re: Cornell @ St. Lawrence, 2/24 - 7 weeks ago
The bozo announcers must also work for SLU’s Sports Information office. From their game story: “The Big Red would score with 1:31 left in the third, then after some questionable non-calls would find the equalizer with 6.8 seconds left in regulation.”by scoop85 - Hockey
