Just saw that the season started with a loss at Syracuse, 82-60. Cornell had a 14 point lead in the first half.

And a 19 point lead in the second half to Bingo..before losing by 10.

It's a very young team.  The youngersters have some promise, but this is going to be a long a season.

It was a long night in Louisville with Cornell losing 99-54 to the Cardinals. Just saw the lowlights (well, actually "keithlights") on ESPN2. Ouch.

They didn't score 100. They didn't double us up. Huge win for Cornell. Even if Louisville ran out their debate team for the second half.

Playing top teams is how Cornell got ready for its run through the NCAAs in 2010.

Don't undersell Louisville debate...I learned cross-x at their summer debate camp in '87 and became one of the top debaters in my state.

The only way this team is going to the NCAAs is with a ticket.  Next three games are, however, winnable (@ 'gate, v. Siena and Radford).

But could you defend the perimeter?

This may be an even longer season than expected:  Colgate 81 Cornell 58.  And 'gate called off the dogs with 5 minutes to go; they could have won by 30+.

While I think it's clear the Freshman are Courtney's best recruiting class, in my view the team will need to show progress -- forget wins and losses -- to be deserving of returning next year.  His ability to handle X's and O's is very much in doubt.

It probably is his best class, though Hatter, Smith, David O. and company haven't shown much the last two games.  The team still looks like a bunch of guys playing a rec league game.  Not that I have a say it, but while I'm willing to cut BC a little slack because he lost his best player in Shonn Miller, blow out losses to the Colgates of the world just won't get it done.

Those three guys got a combined 30 minutes at Colgate. Blow out losses might be the time to get your young guys more minutes.

Worse defeat to Colgate in 61 years. The Binghamton debacle. Courtney has his work cut out for him.

Speaking of Steve Donahue, I wonder how much more time he gets at BC.  1-34 so far this year.

Well, given the way our season's going, I'm sure we'd consider taking him back

[mountainred]

Louisville may not have scored a 100, but Notre Dame did.  The 101-67 loss drops Cornell to 0-9 for the first time in over a century (the 04-05 team started 0-10.)  Curiously, that team is listed as having no coach, so the teams have that in common too.
