When the game was close, the were showing bits of it on ESPNews. Once Syracuse opened it up in the second half, they stopped. Either way, that's a better showing against 'Cuse than I can remember for a while.

Last year we were ahead by 16 at one point.

Not at the point that matters.

FWIW, consider:

11/20: Syracuse 87, UNC 71
11/24: Syracuse 88, Cornell 73

So we lost by a margin that was one point less then what UNC did against a hot 'Cuse team earlier in the week.::demented::

Does this mean we should be ranked ahead of UNC? ::banana::

Cornell is back on track, beating Toledo (in Philly) 78-60. Tonight, Vermont and then Sunday night, Drexel. FWIW, Drexel beat Vermont last night and plays Toledo tonight. A crazy pace for a tournament, but I suppose that's what they do at the Great Alaska Shootout and Chaminade tournaments also.

Of course, those are TOURNAMENTS, so it matters whether you win in the first round or not. UMass lost in AC last night, to nobody's surprise. Alabama, for those following things that will affect our RPI, beat Baylor earlier this week.

And a win against UVM, after being down at halftime.
