Cornell-Duke (No Spoils in Thread Title)

[Jordan 04]

Also screwed if we are Cornell and they are Duke.

[Jacob '06]

The court level camera angles are annoying.

[Jordan 04]

Nice game from Foote, but man is he gassed.

[Beeeej]

"With 10:45 to play... Duke only by ten over Cornell," says the announcer.  :-)  Some good plays in the last few minutes; maybe Foote's two-handed slam got them a little riled up.

[Beeeej]

Cornell trying awfully hard, but making panicked mistakes.  Still "only" an eleven point lead, which is better than I'd expected at this point in the game, but I'd love to see them make it even tighter down the stretch.

[Beeeej]

Duke with three men up for the same rebound, knocks it out of bounds; Cornell will have the ball, down 12, under four minutes left.

rofl...we might have 0 national titles and duke has 3...but we beat them 10:1 on nobel prize winners.  YEAAAAA

[Beeeej]

Foote with another slam; Duke with basket interference; Dale for two, and now it's an eight-point game with 1:25 left.

[Jordan 04]

What the heck is the point of showing an open 3 point attempt on a 3-on-2 fast break from 7 years ago?

[Beeeej]

...and the fouling starts.  Bad shot selection by Robinson on that last Cornell possession; with less than a minute left and ten points down, you can't just hurl it up like that.  Down by 11 with 32.1 left, Duke with the foul.

[Jordan 04]

Too bad if the last minute is going to make it a 15-20 point final deficit.  Great effort by our team to play them at 10 points the whole game.

[Beeeej]

And classy move by Donahue to give the rest of the Cornell team some playing time in Cameron.  You're right, a 15-point final spread is not indicative of the whole game.

[Jordan 04]

81-67 final.

Great effort from the Big Red!

[CornellFan]

Very pleasing.  Go take a look at what Duke did this year in Cameron to New Mexico State, Michigan and Wisconsin.  Blowouts.  

We played Duke as tough as anyone in their gym (except for Davidson).

Team is getting better and better.  Good signs.

Absolutely - K could've acknowledged the gesture and put in his own scrubs to accept the resignation, but no.

Great job by CU against a much deeper team, when they were disciplined in shot selection, CU did quite well.  When it turned into a scrum inside, Dook got the offensive boards and won it.

Looking forward to Ivy play!
