It's perfectly ok to be excited for a team to win in a dumb system. See: Olympic hockey shootouts. Literally everyone complained about them, but there were the replays playing on repeat for a week.

There is a time and a place to complain about an Ivy basketball playoff but that time is not "the week that Cornell will be playing in the Ivy basketball playoff" and the place is not "a Cornell sports forum the week that Cornell will be playing in the Ivy basketball playoff".

Matt Morgan named unanimous first team all-ivy.  Stone was second team.

Syracuse would kill to have Stone at the other forward position, they would be easily 4-5 games better with him at the 4.

I thought that the time to complain in "a Cornell sports forum" was always. My bad. ::bang::

Sure. We lost at home to H in the final moments after leading most of the game, and we took them to double OT in Cambridge last week. If Morgan is on his game, we'll be in it. If he's off, we probably lose by 10-15.

KenPom predicts Harvard 73-67, Cornell with a 28% chance to win.  So, we're clearly the underdog, but upsets of that magnitude happen every night.

best thing about the game is its at noon.. the penn crowd will be rooting for us, those that show up early.

What do the KENPOM  metric letters stand for and when do we start arguing that it must be wrong?**]
"When we came off, [Bitz] said, 'Thank God you scored that goal,'" Moulson said. "He would've killed me if I didn't."
