Cornell vs. Syracuse

[DeltaOne81]

[quote Robb]I'm just listening, but it sure sounds like we're having to work harder for what we're getting, while Syracuse is able to pounce quickly and convert.  Then again, maybe that's just our deliberate style at work.[/quote]

I'd say 2 parts our style, 1 part SU just being that good.

The good news: we're up 2 at the half. The bad news: we're playing as good as we have all year, and, score aside, it seems pretty 50/50.

This'll be a good one.

Leading at half, but they have made a number of mistakes that they can't afford to make in the second half if Syracuse comes out of the locker room gunning.  Syracuse looks very good on offense, so Cornell really can't afford to give up any turnovers.

Let's go Red!

Hey all, a couple of friends and I are driving home after graduating yesterday, so we just have phone access, is anyone in a position to give more frequent score and time updates, a la hockey? Would be much appreciated if possible. Thanks!

Saff, I PMed you to ask for your number, in case you didn't see it.

7-5 Cornell, 6:38 to go 3rd

[Jordan 04]

Great long possessions.  Gotta keep making them count at the end.

[nyc94]

Still 7-5, 3rd just ended

[Jordan 04]

I don't know the rules well enough to understand why the stall warnings towards the end of the 3rd quarter.  It didn't seem like we were doing anything different on offense than we have been the whole game.

Fortunately, I'm on Oxford's LAN, so speed is no issue.

Refs are getting tired of our slow-down style, methinks.

Should have clarified. I understand the rule; I don't understand why we're being called for it after being deliberate on offense all day.

7-6 now
