Men’s Basketball 23-24

[ugarte]

Cornell up 15-9 midway through the first half. Good, compact, readable livestats.

28-24 good guys at the half.

Looks like neither team is shooting worth a **&%.

Second half going much better. 8 minutes in and the Red have stretched the lead to 13.

[mountainred]

Good guys are going to win, up double digits in the last minute, but the Wolverines(!) have been on a 9-0 run.

74-61 win. Not worried about 9 point runs late in games that never let them close to within single digits. As opposed, say, to the second half at Fordham where it got frighteningly close.

First, I wanted to say Wolverines!
Second, sure they weren't going to blow a 22 point lead in the last four minutes, but I want see the regulars (Manon, Gray, Williams) do a better job of closing out games.

EDIT:  But winning by 13 over a team KenPom had us beating by 3 is good.

That looks like the participation trophy that my son got for playing in the 6-year-old rec. soccer league.

I thought it was a lightbulb.

Yes, it's dinky, but we won and it still leaves plenty of space in our trophy cabinet for more.

What are the March 2024 Sweet Sixteen arenas? Should we pencil them in?

Cornell could make it unbeaten through December 5. Then Syracuse. The losing streak is 42. Last 2 wins over the Orange were the years where protesting ROTC and Vietnam was a major sport. Even in 2009-2010, out Sweet Sixteen year, we lost by 15 to the Orange. Also: This is an at-Syracuse series now. It was home-and-home through 1981.

Did you forget to use your sarcasm font?

Dunno, I've been feeling off ever since I saw this photo commemorating our Florida tournament success. Especially when you see the great photos coming from Ned Dykes for Cornell hockey fans, in addition to the official Cornell hockey sports information pix.
