Quote from: mountainredSo, Boeheim sprains his ankle 5 minutes in, and things have gone about as you would expect. Fun fact:  Dartmouth's 44-25 halftime lead is the largest they've had in an Ivy game this millennium. Final:  Dartmouth 75  Cornell 53.  This team is pretty dreadful without Jimmy.  I mean, they aren't good with him.
Good god, many, do you actually research this? If so, you've been inhaling the vapors of too many Gwynneth Candles. Please, let it be some stat the announcers were handed.

It was dropped in during the second half of the broadcast; I think the color guy was the coach back in '97 when it happened.

Hosting the Ivy's best team, Yale, with Jimmy Boeheim out for the weekend.  Should be ugly.

At the Half:  Cornell leads 37-32.

Sports are weird.

Going to OT at 60.  Which is bittersweet because the BR had a 60-52 lead with 3 minutes to go.

Going to double OT at 69.  Paul Atkinson misses two at the line with 4 seconds left that could have won it for Yale.

Yale wins 81-80.  McBride hits a backdoor lay-up from Dickson to give Cornell the lead, but gave Yale too much time.

McBride with a monster game:  27p, 5r, 5a.  The youngsters Dickson, Dolan and Filien played a bunch of solid minutes, which was nice to see.

Still no Boeheim, but it doesn't matter as Cornell is blowing out Brown by 20.  Really didn't see this coming, but hats off to Coach Earl and the team for the massive turnaround from last weekend.

EDIT:  63-45 final.

I've been down on Knapp, but he had a very good weekend. 17 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists tonight.  McBride also had 17 on terrific shooting.

Also, more good nights for some youngsters.  Dickson had 10 points, 9 rebounds and pair of blocks.  The freshman Filien yanked down 9 rebounds.  Dolan had 7 points and a pair of steals.

It really didn't look like the same team from last weekend.

Jeckle Hyde team-pretty decent at home and at times dreadful on the road.  The young players show some promise.  Size up front is still an issue.

Not sure if this is the right place to mention this but Stone Gettings playing well for the Arizona Wildcats.

According to Jeff Goodman, McBride and Knapp have also put their names in the transfer portal.

Why not?  Go see if a school will pay for a year of grad school.

What is the pretend reason the Ivies don't allow players to do this?

A random Cantab decided it was gauche in the late 50's. Exact date lost in the anals.  But since then we've all been fucked.
"When we came off, [Bitz] said, 'Thank God you scored that goal,'" Moulson said. "He would've killed me if I didn't."

QuoteAthletes at Ivy League schools can't redshirt. They have eight semesters on campus and eight semesters to be eligible. With that in mind, 10 of Jones's players at Yale opted out this fall — not just of the season, but of school — with hopes of returning when things return to normal. They're working at internships and trying to better themselves.

Yale's team will be favored to win the Ivy League with the number of players they will return when play resumes.
