Men’s Basketball 23-24

[George64]

Men's schedule is out.  Interestingly, they play Syracuse at the JMA Wireless Dome on December 5.  When did it stop being the Carrier Dome? Incidentally, Carrier Corp. was founded by Willis Carrier '01.

In 1979, Carrier cut a deal with Syracuse, $2.75 million for naming rights in perpetuity. Idiots. Syracuse U has been trying to get out of that ever since. Carrier's Syracuse footprint has been declining and in 2020, the company moved to Palm Beach Gardens. In 2022, Syracuse cut a deal with JMA Wireless for naming rights, 10 years, undisclosed amount. JMA what? It's a wireless networking hardware company, aka John Mezzalingua Associates. It is not a wireless carrier like a Cricket. To clarify (per Wikipedia), "JMA Wireless operates on a software-based XRAN [radio access network] architecture, which integrates processes into a single common server and removes the need for radios and jumpers in Distributed antenna system (DAS) deployment."

1901. My subconscious understanding went first to the more recent '01.

Good irony is that the dome only got air conditioning installed the same year Carrier was removed from the name (2022).

good news is the wireless is gonna be in place by the time cornell gets there in Dec.   Wish we had wireless/cell working in lynah one day.

Counted 11 home games and 2 against D 3 teams in Wells and Morrisville. I see that Coach Earl brought in some height and maybe the interior defense will be a little stronger than in past years,  Greg Dolan was a "glue guy" on the past couple of editions and we will see who steps up this coming season.  Princeton, Yale, and Brown will all be very formidable this coming season.

[dbilmes]

Cornell is picked third in preseason poll, behind overwhelming favorite Yale and Princeton.

Season Opener tonight at Lehigh.  Last year v. the formerly Engineers was maybe the best game the guys played all season.

The pregame notes list Gray, Manon and Noard as starters -- all expected -- but then list Sophomores Nix and Noard as joining them.  Does anyone know if Nazir Williams is hurt?

Quite a handicap if Noard has to play two positions.;-)

Putting aside Noard's double billing, I assume if he's not started Williams is injured.

Naz just came in as a sub, no need to worry.

My other thought was Earl would bring him in as an early 6th man for a jump start off the bench. That may well be the case.

Season's only 12 minutes old and I'm already exasperated by Ragland.

That makes two of us!

[Mr. Niss]

As soon as Manon got foul happy, the defense has not been as good and they've gone down.  He has to stay out of trouble this year.

And like last year, their press is weak and gets beat repeatedly.

And once again, we can't shoot free throws.
