2013-2014 Basketball

I just hope they make a change after this season, another year of this isn't tolerable

I totally agree, Philly.  I know losing Miller hurts, but the lack of progress over the season is discouraging.  It's hard to remember but these guys were fiesty against Syracuse and should have beaten both Loyola and Binghamton, but let them off the hook.  That happens with teams replacing a bunch of minutes, but I didn't think it would be highwater mark of the season.

Streak ends.  Cornell beats D3 Oberlin  77-55.

Streak ends.  Cornell beats D3 Oberlin  77-55.

The solution is clear.

Ned Tomic was the big dog in the win:  20 points, 9 rebounds, 3 blocks.  He's from NE Ohio and probably wanted no part of hearing about an Oberlin win.

I'm going to buy tickets for the basketball game at Columbia, but, unlike at Newman, the Columbia arena appears to be assigned seating rather than general admission. Does anyone know which section at Levian is usually the Cornell/visitor's section? Am I correct in assuming that section D which the seating chart says is directly behind the visitor's bench is the visitor's section? Thanks

No D3 shouldnt count

A new losing streak begins tonight, 2 Ivy wins would be an accomplishment at this point

An accomplishment or a miracle.

To the team's credit they didn't quit.  Columbia was up 18 with the ball with 5:30 to go and the Big Red started a run that cut it to 7 with Scelfo on the line for 3 at :50.  Dom then missed two of three and Cornell didn't score again in the 71-61 loss. Of course, there is the problem of falling behind by that many, but I'm looking for a bright spot.

We just play so small; guards played 160 minutes tonight.  That's basically running a four guard offense for the entire game.  If we pressed all the time that might make sense, but we don't.

On the bright side they did play well in the 1st half, they werent chucking 3's like they usually do. They were really attacking the basket and the defense was good. 2nd half everything fell apart. Courtney has to go. If they finish the year with 1 win, I dont see how he comes back

It was nice to see them not chucking 3's.  Under BC, more than 40% of our shots have been 3's. While Steve's offense was allegedly three-ball happy, none of his teams took that many.  The only team that was close -- the 2010 team -- was literally the best in the nation at shooting the 3.

I have to figure this is BC's last season. I wonder how many Ivy wins it would take to convince Andy that he deserves one last season with Shonn back.

Meanwhile Zach Spiker has Army at 5-1 in the Patriot league, 9-8 overall. Last year they finished 16-15 which was their first winning season in  28 years. Its a shame he left right before the Sweet 16 year, he would have been the logical replacement for Donahue

Yep.

Basketball blog guy was saying Courtney has a 5 year contract so probably unlikely Courtney gets fired this year
