I'm trying to think, what are other schools named UNC -- Nebraska-Columbus, pop 25,000?

Hail Petaluma.

It could have been the Univ. of Northern Colorado in beautiful Greeley, Colorado...

wrestling team coached by Cornell wrestling pantheon member Trent Nickerson (4x AA, finishing 2, 1, 3, 4 iirc but that "poor" performance was because of a bum shoulder).

What happened? You've fallen under my spell of saying 'Jeff Archer.'

Back to action tonight as the BR host Colgate in what should be a step in class from the last two games.  The Raiders of unknown color are the Patriot League favorites and this weekend took NC State (North Carolina, not Northern Colorado) to the wire. A win would be enormous for the program.

17% on treys and 60% on free throws is not gonna beat Colgate.

It might if 'gate keeps shooting under 33 percent from the field.  12 minutes left, Cornell leads 50-41.

Colgate is not playing a deep rotation, while we're going about 12 deep and playing a relentless up tempo game. That may wearing them out. Cornell up 10 with 6:00 left in the 2nd half.

Great win 78-68.  Colgate used a 7 man rotation, while the Big Red went 11 deep.  Raider second half shooting was awful.  Some of that was Cornell D; some was just bad shooting.

Cornell wins a stunner, 78-68. I saw Colgate go toe-to-toe with NC State on Saturday, losing by 3 in the last seconds, and thought we'd be overmatched. We're by no means a perfect team, but Colgate went cold in the 2nd half, helped in part by our defensive pressure.

Really impressive win. The way we played tonight is how Bill Courtney tried to play during his disastrous run as coach. But Brian Earl knows how to coach, and he now has enough players to make it work.

Right.  Key stats:  At the time Colgate led 35 -25, Colgate was 5 for 15 and Cornell 2 for 12 on treys.  After that point, Cornell was 4 for 13 and Colgate 1 for 17!

[mountainred]

New names that were heroes for Cornell:  Sophs. Sean Hansen (11p, 3A) and Keith Boothby (10P, 9R).  Those two were 4 of 5 from behind the arc; the rest of the team 2-20.  Boothby really looks like a heck of a shooter.

There was a point where Colgate was shooting 15% from the field in the second half.  

One other huge stat, Cornell stopped giving up offensive rebounds.  Colgate had 9 when they built up their double digit lead.  They grabbed just four more, and a few of those were very late.

Yes, that was huge. In the 1st half Colgate had numerous 2nd and 3rd chances and it looked like that would bury us. But we flipped the script in the 2nd half.
