Should that have been that close?

Quote from: TrotskyShould that have been that close?

We were playing without two starters but still, probably not. I have to say, though, the game never really felt in doubt.

LaSalle is a very aggressive but undisciplined team. They commit a lot of turnovers and play really sloppy defense trying to force turnovers and get steals. When it didn't work - most of the game - Cornell was able to patiently set up shots and knock them down. When it did, they scored points in bunches. They went on a 10-0 run to start the second half (cutting the lead from 11 to 1) but it stopped working and Cornell was leading by 9 fairly quickly. There was a mini-flurry near the end of the game and LaSalle was able to cut it to two again, but Cornell hit most of their free throws and put the game out of reach.

It wasn't as good as the team will play this year but it was a good win over a decent team.

Hopefully Dale's and Tyler's injuries aren't bad enough to keep them out for a long time.

Ithaca journal article said today to expect both Dale,Tyler to be back by 1/2 Bryant game

As a warmup for #1 Kansas, Cornell blew out D-III Penn St. Erie and barely D-I (now 0-14) Bryant. That should get the guys ready.

Kansas playing at Temple on ESPN2 now (5:30pm EST Saturday 1/2).
