4 for 24 shooting threes.  0.5 points per attempt.  No second half lead is safe.

an 11 AM game during a blizzard during a pandemic will deliver some strange numbers

Cornell's average home attendance this year is 548 so we're not exactly in a position to comment.

I love it when the NYTimes writes about D1 schools raking in millions in sports. The writers perhaps hated sports growing up, got beat up by jocks, never dated cheerleaders, and believe the major of NCAA schools, certainly the majority of D1 schools, are money factories. If those 225 in Providence paid an average of $5 a head, that would probably pay for the Cornell bus going back from Providence. No hotel, no meals, no coaches or trainers, no tape or sneakers.

Um.  I'm never one to defend sportswriters, but (1) they are typically ex-jocks, and (2) writers don't dream of cheerleaders, they dream of the nerdy girl who also puts out.

Now, I'm not saying they date her, mind you.  Typically they're too self-conscious to even meet her eyes.  But their aim is higher than boobs on a stick.  Leave the cheerleaders for the MBAs; they can babble to each other about People Magazine.

Princeton rematch is a wild one. Run and gun and very close about halfway through the first half. Still can't hit a 3.

I thought we were supposed to get the calls at home games? Officiating has seemed a bit rough to my eyes

[Ken711]

Nice win.

[ugarte]

Nice win.

really makes the collapse in the first game feel more acute but if we make the top 4 it's all good

[CU2007]

Nice win.

Who is considered the best team in the league? Princeton?

That could be the win that gets us into the Ivy tourney

Yale has come on strong, so they're the likely favorite at the moment. But it's pretty wide open.
