Cornell vs Ohio State NIT game - Preview

[ugarte]

we did not lose this game because of the refs. they didn't even call an unbalanced game. we get a lot of fouls called on us because we play very handsy defense. it was true against columbia and it's even more true against ohio state when we're at a real physical disadvantage. despite that disadvantage we were in it to the final minute. down one when williams dribbled the ball off his own leg and we got the only really poor call against us with the jump ball instead of a timeout.

hell of a season from the most fun team to watch since 2010 by a large margin.

fouls hurt us a few times because OSU was allowed to climb over us all night.. Cornell commits too many sloppy fouls though.

The key calls were the TECH.. At that point of the game you cant call that unless he gets right into the kids face and screams at him.

The Time out call where the whole team is screaming.  The ref looking at the ball needs to look for help sense he is looking at possession and the other refs need to have a talk and decide if he had possession for a second before the tie up.. Thats just bad reffing to not even have the discussion.

I mean the over and back call was  pretty bad and yeah we got it back.

The other coach coming out on the floor to complain is a T, but that didnt get called.

The poor 3 pt shooting hurt us once again as they were all pretty wide open 3s in the 2nd half.

OSU is just too big.  you give up 1/3 less Off rebounds and you win.

Big play was when we took the lead and the kid who never plays took a bad deep 3 and it went in for OSU.  But then we still came back.

I feel like we definitely can pin a chunk of blame on the refs, calls late in the game are much more influential than early ones so it doesn't matter much if they were impartial early on. Obviously it's not the only reason we lost but all things considered I thought we played well enough to earn these guys another game, especially considering we didn't have Manon. This season came to a really disappointing end which hurts bad as it might be a while before the program reaches these heights again over a full season. Next year the goal should be make the Ivy tournament and go from there, and 2026 we should have a great chance of making NCAAs as we host Ivy madness.
