Men's Basketball 22-23

Not sure if I've ever seen a team get killed on the offensive glass like Cornell was today and still cruise to a 20 point win (it was 99-77 when the deep bench went in). 22 turnovers fixes a lot.

New schedule is so weird. Harvard tomorrow at 2.

Quote from: mountainredWith today's results in, Cornell and Princeton are 3-1...

Didn't even catch until looking at the standings that Princeton blew an 8 point halftime lead against Brown and then came back here to see that it had been noted (generally). Excellent.

I will say, it's definitely worth pulling up the replay of the last 5 or so in-game minutes of that Princeton-Brown game. Some wild shotmaking on both sides.

I'll be at the Harvard game today, hoping for the good guys to get another road W.

blech. Great run to tie it up in the second half with trapping D and good looks but then the shooters went cold and Harvard hit some nice shots with the shot clock running out. 95-89 bad guys.

Yup. Not much to add here. I would have liked to see us employ the trap a bit more, as it seems whatever normal defensive scheme we were running was ineffective. Near the end of the game, Harvard made shots and we missed shots. So it goes sometimes. I did still like that we kept making shots. This could have easily ended up as a 10+ point margin of defeat given the way the final few minutes played out.

Nice win 80-73 over brown. Shots just weren't falling in the first half and once that started going our way we took advantage. I don't know how coach earl hasn't made Ragland stop shooting threes by now, it's getting egregious.

I guess he must hit them in practice, and Earl hopes he can figure out how to do it in the games. Otherwise, no excuse.

he shot almost 40% last yr so he probably thinks he can make more. he also probably the most talented FW on the team so they want him to make his plays.

and he's left open to take them a lot

Another thing to note is that we were without Nasir Williams today. He had no visible casts or braces on the sideline and I even saw him job a few times so hopefully we have him back next week for a very difficult princeton/Penn away weekend.

With Princeton going down, we're again tied with them at the top of the league at 5-2. Yale, after a surprising 1-3 start in league play is tied for 3rd at 4-3 with a perhaps equally surprising Dartmouth.

upprdeck · January 29, 2023, 08:48:36 AM

you can see a path where just winning our home games to get to 8-6 is likely enough to get to the IVY playoffs. They are so bunched up I dont see how more than 4 teams can get above 8 wins now.

cornell - Princ for first place tonight

Yale burying harvard right now.

had things worked out tonight there was a chance for a 5 way tie for 3rd.

26-12 run to close first half puts Cornell up 45-35 at the half.
