Cornell Basketball 2025-26 Thread

[ugarte]

I rather have guys that are undersized as a center 6'7-6'9 but filled out and can guard 4's and 5's and transfers out after 1-2 years than 6'10+ that don't play for 3-4 years and never get to fill out. When Jeff Foote led the 2010 team to the Sweet 16 he was 7'0 245lbs. Don't think Cornell has had a big like that since. Rather play at a slower pace with the shooting Cornell has between Noard and Fiegan with a filled out big than with guys who can move faster paced but can't rebound/score.

Cornell has never had a center with the size of Jeff Foote before or after him.  It was a nice run while he was here.

Cornell didn't have a center the size of Jeff Foote when Jeff Foote tranferred in. He spent his transfer year alternating between lavage and the weight room.

So in November and December (so far) we play 8 games, 7 of which are on the road?

Schedule just dropped, only having two home non-conference games is brutal (no offense to Alfred State and Misericordia, whatever the hell that is, but they don't count)

Actually it's 4, not 2.  Colgate and Army are non-conference, too.

And Misericordia is a tiny D-III college outside Wilkes-Barre, PA.

Right, I wasn't counting the D3 games because I can go to Ithaca high school and catch a more interesting basketball game. I'll still probably go to those though because I'm a sicko.

Aaaaahhhhh.  Now I understand.

To be fair, I went to one BBall game in my 4 years, so no Bball game is truly interesting to me.
