This game at least deserves posting the half time score.

P by 7. stg the rim that cornell was shooting at in the second half was off. everything was rattling in and out. manon looked great but he couldn't do it alone.

what happened to nazir? he didn't play against brown either.

cant shoot 25% from 3 against a team that can shoot 3s and then also struggle on Fts.

Just setting the stage for beating Princeton on their home floor in the ILT. Pretty tough to beat a team three times in the same season, right? Right???

In all seriousness though, I do admire the resolve of this team. It looked like the game was going to get out of hand with about 5 minutes left, but they really did force Princeton to keep making shots and playing through. Unfortunately the terrible continuation call with under a minute left ended the game.

I'll be at the Palestra later for what hopefully is a bounce back game. Should be a good time regardless

[chimpfood]

This team is special, I think they have it in them

[Iceberg]

If Penn was actually hitting freethrows,  they'd have a bigger lead right now. Most of their 3's have gone in

[ugarte]

Slow start but Cornell came back, then gave the lead up. Down 2 at the half but tbh they look like the better team and should be able to pull away. Nazir Williams injury really hurts this team because his motion opens up the floor for the shooters. Boothby's stroke seems gone and he can't get himself open. Surprised at how little Manon is playing today but he's got 2 fouls. Dolan with 18 at the half.

Frustrating weekend.  In both games the defense struggled to get stops and got pounded on the boards.  Earl's strategy is understandable as Cornell is a bit undersized up and all the cards are put on a gambling trap defense to create steals but if teams are able to pass out of the traps as both Princeton and Penn did it creates open 3s and opportunities around the hoop.  Also Penn seemed to be getting loose balls on their offensive end.  Curran, the so-called color analyst on the Penn broadcasts, is one of the worst homers on the Ivy circuit IMO.  Eyes on the prize-finish in the top 4 still in reach.

[upprdeck]

both games played out late with inability to make any 3s when it mattered and Fts not going their way.

[Tcl123]

Get in the top 4. It really doesn't matter which spot it is. Probably have to go through both P's anyway.

I didn't think so. He was hard on the refs but thought they were calling a terrible game both ways. I thought the Penn crew was one of the best local crews I've heard calling any sport. *Highly* complimentary of Cornell, team and individuals.

Nazir, where are you!? Still think they'll right the ship. This is a very, very good team and the P/P weekends are done. Yale and Harvard rematches loom very large and we can't lose any of the other 3.

This is hardly the first Cornell hoops team to go o-fer on the P/P trip.  8-6 almost certainly gets you in the ILT, and that means winning at Brown, and at home v. Columbia and Dartmouth.  ILT is very much in play, and it's not like the #1 seed brings it to Newman.

Brown just won at Harvard.  Not a gimme in Pizzitola.
