At first, I cursed these scores, because now I think SU wins the Big East easily and therefore makes the Dance.  But maybe it would help us in the bubble comparisons if Princeton spanks us again.

....should we be fortunate enough to win the first round and face Princeton.

Guess not.
May be the worst collapse in Cornell lax history.
Ugly third period.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT HUMB LE HAS THE BIG RED IN AS THE LAST TEAM - BEATING OUT DENVER, Humb Le has been perfect picking the teams for several years,but not sure he will be right this time as he did not take into account the Cornell crash over last 3 games which I'm sure the Committee will But it comes down to them being so close and humb le picks Cornell since they beat Denver on the field. I believe in past years the Committee has ignored head to head in their criteria. Could the Big Red regroup if they make it? I would expect that they can - and should definitely put West back in goal.

I'd be flabbergasted if this happens.  In any case, if Yale should beat Princeton, how could anyone justify selecting Cornell over Princeton for an at large spot.

If it happens, perhaps Cornell at UMass. Return them the upset favor of the 2006 first round at Cornell.

Yale up 11-5 with 6 minutes remaining, of course.

No longer an academic question with Yale clobbering Princeton, 15-7.

Not a very good finish (?) for Princeton's seniors: 2009 lost to Cornell in the quarterfinals 6-4 when Princeton probably was one of the 3-4 best teams, 2010 first-round loss to Notre Dame, 2011 didn't qualify.
