The game wasn't on ESPN+ anywhere.  It was on ESPN3.  That may have been blacked out in the NY region because SNY had the local rights.

Ugly win, but at least a win, over Lafayette 63-58 on the road in overtime.  Josh Warren was huge -- 17 points and 7 rebounds.  Very scary moment in the second half when Morgan landed wrong and looked to be in a lot of pain, but he came back into the game.

The LC announcers kept praising Cornell's defense, which was fine, but really Lafayette is just not very good.

Today is the annual trouncing.  For all the kvetching on this board when Cornell played Delaware in football (Princeton. Dartmouth, and Colgate were all better than Delaware) this is a game I do not forward to.  With an undersized team that I do not Project to make Ivy playoffs (maybe 6th place) it will be ugly in the Done.

Meanwhile on the ESPN that is working, CU keeping it close. 47-45 orange with 8:45 to go. Morgan has 21.

Cornell got the lead at 48-47 and again at 50-49 but after that Syracuse locked down and won 63-55.

Guess I should watch I say-good showing for the Red. Morgan is a special athlete. Must say that Yale looks really good-beatinghe "U" down in Miami.

Hey, the last three times the guys stayed within 20 of Syracuse, they won the league.  I wasn't in the mood to watch a 20 point drubbing and passed on watching.  Looks like I chose poorly.

Yale also has a 17 point thrashing of Cal on their resume.  The Bears aren't particularly good this year, but that's still a drubbing of a Pac-12 team.

Not so much Syracuse locking down as Cornell getting cold on their 3-pointers. Several of the late Syracuse points came on fouls to stop the clock. A couple of more 3's and it would have been really close.

Penn 78, Villanova 75. This is going to be a long year for the Big Red.

We're not a bad team by general Ivy standards, but Penn, Yale, and Harvard (when healthy) are quite strong this year. The rest of the teams, including Cornell, will likely jostle for the 4th spot in the Ivy tournament.  I'm thinking another 6-8 league record is about where we'll finish. A shame too, because had Gettings stuck around, we'd be more of a factor.

Seems as if Donahue had stuck around, we'd be more of a factor...

Only if he got lucky and had another confluence of Dale, Foote, and Wittman appearing on campus together.
