Cornell Basketball 2025-26 Thread

Cornell forced so many turnovers and missed shots after the 4:00 media timeout was due that Cornell forced Princeton to take a timeout with 2:36 left in the half. Cornell got the lead up to 17 with an 11-0 run.

43-26 good guys.

48-32 at the half. Corvallis for the lead up to 22 - and the run up to 16-0 - before Princeton hit a pair of threes to close the half.

85-54 with under 5 to go, if you want something to watch between periods of the Yale game.

Fantastic game and good energy in the building. A win tomorrow would be huge. Keep the streak going.

Great recovery by Jon and the lads so far to get right back into the thick of it. All they need to do is come in 3rd.

It was bizarre watching Mitch cling to his "use it or lose it" timeout while Cornell was on a 16-0 run.

91-81 loss to Penn. Didn't get to watch. Big letdown after yesterday.

Team doesn't look motivated and is extremely untalented. Sepp truly blows my mind every day with how he is even on a D1 roster. Can't have halves like the first half of this one and the first half against Harvard.

Was surprised after last night's effort last night. Penn absolutely throttled the Red on the boards and was better at the free throw line. Give Sepp his due as he can rebound but granted he is not a scoring threat. It was a night when Cornell's lack of size caught up with them.

To add the officiating was horrible. Penn was getting away with some chippy play IMO.

He really can't rebound. He has no vert or sense of positioning. But where he is worse is on offense where he can't even get a shot up if he beats his man and on defense where he switches way too easily and ends up getting fried by a guard.

Big road game at Columbia at 2pm. Really need this one. Halfway through the season and heading into the weekend, everyone but Brown is in a pile between 5-2* and 3-4. Yale is way ahead on KenPom (74) but Harvard, Columbia, Cornell and Penn (in that order) sit between 166 and 181. ILT is a very achievable goal. Yale is pretty clearly the class of the conference but they do have two Ivy losses already so they're capable of laying an egg.

* apparently yale beat brown friday so they're 6-2 and brown is even further away from contention.
