Men's Basketball 21-22

[semsox]

Have to say, this team being competitive and fun was not on my radar this year, and it's been a really present surprise. Hope they can keep it up going into Ivy play, as I'm still somewhat skeptical of their quality of opponent thus far.

7-1 with W's over Kenpom #'s: 314 (Binghamton), 291 (Lafayette), 132 (Colgate), N/A (Wells College), 226 (St. Frances), 276 (Canisius), 315 (Coppin St.)

Comparable to the men's hockey team's impressive start against a similarly weak schedule.

Cornell goes to 8-1, scores more points than against Wells, gives up more today (12/5) who are playing their first game. Keuka student body, ~2,000

Program record for points scored, but it was against a winless D3 school. I hope no one got hurt.

Great that everyone who was healthy got plenty of court time. Wednesday a far bigger challenge at Va. Tech.

Please tell me that Jones missing the game was purely precautionary.

This was like a scrimmage game where the varsity used to play the freshman team.

Not sure why he was out, but agree with your sentiments

At Cornell in years past, one needs ask: Great. But who won?

i guess we find out tonight.  Best chance tonight is that VT does not score much so perhaps a faster pace game plays to cornells strength. cant shoot 25% like the PSU game to have a chance.

The challenge against the athleticism of a Power 5 team is it's harder for us to get clean looks and we're more apt to turn the ball over. But there's more parity than ever in college basketball, so I'm looking to see how our guys handle this test.

Any reason for hope tonight?  I'm thinking the ceiling for this team is a non NCAA postseason tournament, which would actually be quite nice.

[Al DeFlorio]

Turnovers hurting early.

[Trotsky]

VaTech up by 16 at the half.

[mountainred]

Hokies put together a 20-3 run late in the first half as the guys went like 1 for 10 from behind the arc + a handful of turnovers.

Can still cover with an even second half.
