Men's Basketball 22-23

[Mr. Niss]

Best start (11-4) against a big conference team since 10-2 vs Kentucky in the 2010 Sweet 16 ::dribble::

[Mr. Niss]

Meanwhile, Joe Girard hasn't made a shot all year (an exaggeration to make a point) but today he has been lights out so far.

[Mr. Niss]

Someone please tell Guy to STOP SHOOTING

[Mr. Niss]

Very disappointing finish to the half -- not just the result, but just dumb play.

[Al DeFlorio]

Lost an 11 point lead by halftime

[Mr. Niss]

Guy Ragland seriously needs to not shoot, period.

[Mr. Niss]

This is very disappointing.

It's almost an annual tradition that Syracuse let's us think we can beat them before sealing it up. Let's not be delusional.

Cornell is not going to beat anyone not even Little Sisters of the Poor going 1 for 22 on field goals like it did in the second half-simple math.  Colgate beat SU hitting a record number of 3s in the Dome and they were almost beat by Bryant.  Cornell had open looks from 3 that were not going in-thus the game.  Thought it was Cornell's best chance of beating them and just did not work out.  The announcers for the ACC Network were horrible IMO.  Liked what I saw of DJ Nix late in the game and hoping he gets some more playing time. Lehigh and Colgate coming up-Colgate will be tough-Head Coach Matt Langel has done an excellent job.  What I like about Langel is that he shows no interest in moving up the proverbial coaching ladder (Million-dollar contracts but a lot less security).

We have two losses this year -- both by two points to two ACC teams.  Man.  We should jump 100 points in KenPom for this game.

The computers are going to love the offensive work, but hate the defense.  Still, they had this as a 16 point loss, so there should be jump.  Is this finally the year for a win at the Dome?

Guess not.  Getting shots on the Syracuse zone is tough, but this team cannot take 48 3's and expect to beat anyone good.  Especially if Watson and Boothby (who is going through some serious regression from last year) shoot a combined 2-17 from behind the arc.

Pretty much agree with all of that.  Langel took over at Colgate in 2011.  I like Earl, but wonder what would have happened if Cornell had hired Langel instead of Courtney.  Can't imagine that one last season with Dunphy at Temple taught him that much more.

[rss77]

Agreed and a bit of irony in that Earl's offense is the type of offense Courtney tried to bring to Cornell.  Courtney was a really nice guy but could not coach his way out of a paper bag.

Yeah, 1st stinker game from Watson. And Boothby's shooting is becoming a concern. As also has been mentioned Ragland needs to stop shooting 3's period.

[ugarte]

Playing Lehigh in an early evening game. Currently the second half and Cornell is up 30 at 63-33.* Ragland really shouldn't shoot!

If you tune in now, ignore the screen that says 47-26. It stopped updating before I started watching.
