One word describes that game:

Wow

That game was amazing!!! Glad the fans were smart enough to not storm the court after a few people started chanting it.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Cornell ranked soon with all these blowout victories.  The game over Harvard was a MAJOR statement game, the biggest performance in a statement game for this league in at least a decade.  If they keep blowing out opponents, only a matter of time before they climb into the rankings.

Watch out for Princeton, they dominated 2 games on the road this weekend versus Yale and Brown and have a game @ Harvard next Friday.  If they win that (and assuming they win their next two versus inferior Dartmouth and Columbia, they will be 4-0 in conference and hosting us at their place Feb 13.  Could be a potential upset game.

Nice tip of the hat at the end of Sports Center this morning. ::banana::

Yeah we could become ranked but I dont know how the team would handle it.

Also last year Princeton started 4-0 including a win over us at @ Princeton, only for them to lose 3 straight and collapse. I would think we are not going to take them lightly @Princeton this year after last years loss

How do you say "hookers and blow" in Ithacese?

Jeremy Lin leads all scorers (19). He could've nearly had a double double if turnovers ( counted. Life is good for now. This game could catapult us up the rankings, or the voters might decide we're high enough and Harvard is, as we've known for a long time, overrated.

[phillysportsfan]

A lot of Lin's points were in garbage time at the end

[Jim Hyla]

OK, that was a great game, but why do both the hockey and BB teams have to play at Harvard the same night? At least I'll be able to listen to the BB while watching the hockey. But oh, the parking.

Crowded parking on account of all the Harvard fans?

Harvard has fans??
