Season opener in the first round of the Syracuse "lambs to the slaughter" tournament. Cornell leads 15-12, early.
Now 27-16 Cornell after a slow start.
Ryan Rourke has 12 so far I believe.
Noticed a news flash at the bottom of the screen that Buffalo just fired former Cornell football coach Jim Hofher. Never could understand why Buffalo hired him in the first place.

It's just the Syracuse bracket of the Florida/Texas Tech/Wake/Syracuse Invitational. Should Bethune-Cookman break some legs in the night cap, and Cornell gets lucky and beats Syracuse, they'd advance to MSG next week.

Roadie to Cuse tomorrow.... I got 10 people going. I encourage other Cornell students to do the same. It's a long shot, but it would be the biggest B-Ball win in school history, and it's an hour away! Low risk, high reward.
C'mannnnnnnn faithful, show your support for the B-Ball team!

Your enthusiasm is admirable, and I hope a good-sized contingent of Cornell fans joins you in the trip. But some might argue the January 16, 1965 win--on a last second Blaine Aston seventeen-footer--over Bill Bradley's Princeton team that went on to finish third in the NCAAs, was a bigger win than this one would be.

Beating Kentucky Dec. '66 by 15 points at Kentucky, where they hadn't lost home in four years could be the best performance ever. Kentucky was coming off a previous season where they were #1 all year and undefeated (if I remember correctly) until being upset in the NCAA final by Texas Western (now UTEP). They had 3 of 5 starters back from that squad, including Pat Riley and Louie Dampier, a great shooting guard.
But wasn't Ivy basketball more respectable in the 60s than it is now? Those may have been wins over better teams, but with Ivy basketball pretty much never winning even a first round NCAA game, wouldn't this be the bigger upset?
Not that it has a snowball's chance in hell of happening :)
So, was 1965-66 the last time Cornell hoops was actually somewhat good? :-P

Yes, but they were 13-13 the season Cornell beat them in Lexington. Not quite a third-place NCAA finish, Jeff. I managed to pick up the UK radio broadcast of that game in Yorktown Heights, NY. The announcers could not believe what they were seeing.

Al, I too listened to the game via radio (WHAS) - which is why I remembered it well. It was early in the season, as back then 12/1 was the typical season start date and the game was in late December, so Kentucky was still thought of as one of the top teams in the country at the time. Larry Conley (who they interviewed at halftime) had graduated the year before and had apparently scouted us against Syracuse, when Greg Morris, our star, had an unusual off-night. Conley (who now does color on various national college games) had Morris rated as our third best player, and couldn't understand why he was killing UK. Morris had about 37 that night.

Perhaps, but UK was only 4-3 going into that game, with all losses in Lexington to Illinois, UNC, and Florida. Don't get me wrong--it was a terrific win, but that was a subpar season for Kentucky (8-10 SEC record).
Blane Aston, I thought it was Dave Bliss. Are we like the FSU where former legends mysteriously disappear from the annual May Day photos? ;-)

Bliss guarded Bradley and held him to two-for-seventeen from the field in the first half, while Cornell built a 39-29 lead. In the second half, Bradley's seven or eight inch height advantage took its toll and Dollar Bill scored 30 of Princeton's 40 second-half points. Aston's clean swish with seconds left turned a one point Tiger lead into a one point Red win. Bradley played the entire second half with three fouls, but never took a fourth.
Princeton won the rematch at Dillon Gym 107-84 and took the Ivy League title with just that one loss. Then they ran into Cazzie Russell and "Hail to the Victors" in the NCAA semis. Bradley scored 87 points and had 24 rebounds in the semis against Michigan (29) and the consolation win against Wake Forest (58).

SU 20 CU 17 with 6:19 left in the 1st.
I really wish I had ESPNU!
Now tied at 20 after a trey.
There is a working audio feed through Cornell's All-Access ::twitch::
Does this mean we will get home video of men's basketball too??

Fixed your post.
SU up by 10 with 30 seconds left.
Oh well, it was exciting for a bit ;)
SU 35 CU 27
35-27 Cuse at the half. SU finally started playing in the last few minutes.
By the way, if you're listening in the Ithaca area, use 100.3 FM. It's the Syracuse feed and it's hundreds of times better than Barry Leonard.

I think Barry does a fairly good job, especially considering he's flying solo.
My one pet peeve with him is when he is announcing a made basket, he doesn't say that someone has made a basket; rather, he says "Puts up a bank shot!" in a higher-pitched and louder voice.

Yeah, I didn't mean to knock Barry. He's fine, but these guys are just better. And it's not only made shots, it just sounds like he makes this nerve-inducing pause before every call while he figures it out. The real difference is that the Cuse guys are much faster, and it helps a lot when you listen.
I hear a band in the background. Is ours there? Maybe someone with a TV can help me out.
2nd half just started, 37-32 SU
Didn't know this was continuing, I started a Syracuse game thread.

I don't remember much about the game except the climax, but Aston's final shot certainly sticks in mind! I was there with a junior high school buddy whose father had a pair of coupon books.
Tied at 44 with 12:30 left.
