I'm going to be sitting right in front of Al tonight.  Maybe I'd better bring a hardhat and some extra padding so I don't get trampled when Al makes his move.

Oops, forgot the "don't" part earlier.  Remember, Al's a pretty big guy, and pretty excitable.

Note to people who are under 45 and were possibly planning on rushing the court:

Do not, under any circumstances, rush the court after beating BROWN for the teams third consecutive league title. Act like you've been there before, please.

Al, Killer, feel free to rush the court. You waited long enough for a "Cornell basketball era" that you may as well enjoy it.

OTOH, a half dozen guys from the class of '80 rushing the court sounds like a George Romero movie.

http://stfu.wikispot.org/Rules_for_Storming_the_Floor
Although I think rushing the court at Brown would be a clear violation of the rules since it says "If you storm an opponent's floor, odds are you will get hurt." although they do specifically mention that winning an Ivy league championship outright is a good enough reason. Funny list of rules though, you got to love how they have The Cornell Addendum to the rules which says to not run over clock operators when storming the court since last year against Penn the court rush broke one of the scorer's laptops or something and afterward they had to go back to rewatch a buzzer shot that should have counted

Cornell is getting a lot of attention on ESPN today, which makes sense since 1/65 of the bracket could be filled tonight.

Brown and Cornell both playing out of their minds.  Need to win this to avoid a 14 seed.

Good to see ESPN has a gamecast of every Ivy game other than the one where one team can clinch the conference, therefore rendering every other game completely mott.

Cornell 51, Brown 47 at the half.

After the Brown game, Donahue said something to the effect that Providence was a good possibility.

it was close for awhile, a 4 point game at one point in the 2nd half, but Cornell beats Yale 79-59

should be able to get that 12 seed
Title: Re: Brown basketball
Post by: YankeeLobo on March 06, 2010, 09:03:44 PM
All they need to do is repeat the 20-30 3 pt shot game at Brown and they'll be fine in the tournament.

Impressive performance by Cornell in Yale tonight. Few signs of a letdown after clinching Ivy title the night before. We also had to overcome some terrible foul calls on Foote by one of the refs, who called three fouls on him in the second half from the opposite side of the court after the two refs with a better view didn't call anything. Dale carried us for a while, and Wittman got hot for a while in the second half. Our experience showed after Yale cut our lead to 4 early in the second half and we responded with a 16-2 run.

Ticket info from CU Athletics (http://www.athletics.cornell.edu/tickets/NCAABBallticket_info_10.pdf) does not yet include game times.  
Quote from: colleghoopsnet.comThe first round features two sessions (2 games each) at each venue. These tend to start at noon, but times are not final as of now. Evening sessions are usually at 6pm. Second round games on the weekend tend to start at noon, but specific game times will be announced later on when CBS finalizes its television schedule.

Well, let's just say Killer and I kinda sauntered onto the court...and enjoyed every minute of it.
