Basketball 2015-16

[Al DeFlorio]

Monmouth on Wednesday is a tough one -- much tougher than when it was scheduled.  The Hawks have beaten UCLA, USC, Notre Dame and Georgetown already this season.

That's an understatement. They are going to stunt on us AND reenact the Titanic maidenhead scene.

Did the Monmouth kids do anything interesting? (Aside from win?)

Didn't see anything remarkable.  They did come back from a 23-10 deficit to win.

Harvard actually made a real nice run following OU's monster run to start the 2nd half. Endowasoma, who was maybe the most hyped b-ball recruit in Harvard history but has been a bit of disappointment so far, had a great game for Harvard

Harvard wants to dominate not just the Ivy League, but nationally in basketball.

For some reason Derek Hatter didn't play. Without him, Cornell took Columbia to the wire on the road (and looked very good on defense) but lost by 4. Morgan lit it up and scored 29.

The last 20 seconds were exciting as hell. I like this squad but wish they could finish better at the rim.

Decent Cornell turnout at the game. I guess break isn't over at Columbia either because last year this game was packed.

According to story in Sun, Hatter showed up at the game wearing a walking boot.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH

FYI, Courtney isn't going anywhere. The frosh looked good and the defense looked great. If this game is any indication of how the rest of the season is going to go, I think he'll get a new contract.

And, based upon the little that I know, he probably deserves it. It seems like he has some good freshmen and won't lose much next year.

This is year 6 of the Courtney era.  We are 24-47 in the Ivies, 0-1 this year.  We haven't finished in the top half of the Ivies in any of these years.  Let's see how this year turns out.  Do you think this performance over 5 and 1/2 years merits a new contract?

Columbia also won the return engagement in Ithaca, 79-68, dropping Cornell to 0-2 in the Ivies.

With the 2 losses to Columbia to start this Ivy season, Cornell in the 5-plus years under Courtney has now lost exactly 2/3 of its Ivy games (48 of 72).  Btw Football in the 3 years under Coach Archer has lost 81% of its Ivy games (17 of 21).

The hits just keep on coming
