Men's Basketball 22-23

guess they couldt get access to the gym after lunch

True. On the plus side, with the big conferences mostly starting later in the day, and the games on national tv (ESPNU), we might get a lot of eyeballs. Guess that's a positive.

at least its over before the Lax game ends and  the Hockey game starts.

This is clearly made for TV scheduling and the Ivies are completely buried by the attention on the power conferences.

As far as our guys, they closed so poorly -- and yesterday was more about Columbia being a bad team than Cornell tuning bouncing back -- it sure looks like a one and done.  But we have a better chance than Brown right now, which I guess counts for something.

I dont think they have played a complete game Since Jan.. Thats hard to see changing, but there is hope.

No disagreement from me, but we still have a "chip and a chair."

Yale looks like the team we thought they were before the season started (i.e., the best team in the league).  Hard to believe they were 1-3 in the league at one point.

Is this the day the team plays back to its potential from 2 months ago?

You have to hope so, but there is no real reason to think it will be.

[Mr. Niss]

Good start.  Tied and not shooting the lights out.  I've been trying to determine if the last month was bad because Naz got hurt and we shot terribly or if we got figured out.  The game against Columbia made me think that the latter is not the case.  The fact that Yale did not come out and immediately open an 8-10 point lead while we haven't shot well from outside has me optimistic that we have a shot.  Hopefully I didn't just jinx it.

[upprdeck]

the first half the year we seemed to always have that spurt where we could make 3s.  its been a struggle the last 10-15 games..

[Mr. Niss]

I guess I jinxed it.

When Guy is the only guy (no pun intended) making threes, things are not going according to plan.

Yale is a sound team and plays terrific defense. We're playing hard and doing some good things, be we have to knock down some shots to stay in this

Just when it appeared the game might be slipping away, nice job to cut it to 3 at the half. We have a pulse.

Could have been a lot worse, but shooting under 40% almost certainly won't get it done.  Not sure where this team's shooting touch went.

[upprdeck]

I thought Cornell did a good job of getting some wide open looks but didnt make them.. then we attacked the rim and couldnt get calls while Yale took a bunch of bad shots and got rewarded with some bad bounce rebounds, buried several 3s in a row and got 2-3 marginal calls in drives to the basket.

Hanging around is all you can ask and hope we go on the 3-4- in a row streak.
