Men's Basketball 21-22

[Al DeFlorio]

Game quote from Colgate coach:

"College basketball is fragile. To win a game is hard. Tonight, we didn't play well and Cornell had a lot to do with that. Their style of play, physicality, tempo and belief certainly affected us. Yes, we didn't make shots, but we didn't do what was necessary to control the rhythm of the game, especially late in the first half and most of the second half. Every game takes on its own identity and we didn't adjust to tonight's game appropriately. In that, we had some uncharacteristic mistakes at both ends of the court that cost us dearly."

That's a great quote. Rather literate for a B-ball coach.

So is our former president, so not necessarily causal.

He transferred there after his sophomore year at Fordham, and he was interviewed for admission by a friend of his brother. He also went into Wharton during the 1960s, a time when undergraduate business schools were about as popular as skunks at picnics.

It means absolutely nothing, but it is kind of fun to see.

Cornell tweeted a similar sentiment, first 3-0 start in xx years. This is like an 85-year-old whistling past the graveyard.

Cornell eases past Wells College in the first ever meeting between the two schools, 107-48.  I normally wouldn't post about what was essentially an exhibition game, but I thought it was cool that all 16 players on Cornell's roster scored at least 2 points.  When's the last time that happened?  I doubt it has ever happened against a D-1 opponent.

oh wow. we have our own 40 game losing streak, even 2009-10 when both of us made it to the Sweet 16. would be really, really nice to catch the Orange in a down year.

I hope Sports Info meant every healthy player on the roster, or every player who suited up, since So. Evan Williams (played a few minutes in the opener and looked promising) and 6-10 Fr. Ryan Kiachian are still on the roster.

Still a cool stat and I can't find a time that it happened.  The Big Red beat Alfred St. 107-29 a few years back, but Deion Giddens didn't score in 12 minutes of play.
