The 3 point shots not falling this season.  I think they said during the Colgate game that Cornell was 6th in 3 point shot % amongst the Ivies.

Wow the new Baylor (Foster Pavilion) is beautiful and very cool Cornell was the first to play them in grand opening game.   Even Bill Gates was in attendance, although I am not sure of his affiliation with Baylor.  

Cornell played well in a lot of areas, but agreed we could not sink shots from the Arc (3 pointers) and there were a bunch of missed foul shots.   The Ivy League season is always tough and wishing our team well.   Go Big Red!

we play one or two D-III games every year. SUNY Morrisville was one of our first games this year, marking the first time I'd heard of Morrisville (the town, not the school) and I've lived in New York for 50+ years.

If one wasn't paying attention, one could be surprised to learn that Wells began admitting men in 2005.

Greg is still subject to a campus ban.

Ironically, what got me into trouble in the first place was a restraining order.

Mr. Niss

Went to a party at Wells in the mid-80s once.  It did not go Wells.

Speaking of not going wells, not particularly enthused about the defense played in this first half against Columbia.  And Chris Manon needs to stop thinking he's on the Harlem Globetrotters.

Mr. Niss, thank you for joining the storied eLF history in the category of "negative comment that doesn't point out that despite the reasonable criticism, the Cornell is winning." 48-44 good guys at the half.

And a more sincere thank you for reminding me that it was a 6pm start today and I should turn on the game.

You're not a fan if you didn't have the 6 PM start on your calendar.  Every calendar.

And I usually try to include a compliment but my judgment was clouded by the fact that I bet the mortgage on good guys -12.  And then put a downpayment on a yacht when they announced that Columbia's best player is out.

Poor FT and 3PT shooting tonight so far.

Mr. Niss

Columbia is shooting 56% from 3, and I'm surprised it's not higher.

That possession where they got three offensive rebounds and missed four three-pointers I thought would kill them, but then Boothby hit back-to-back threes and they were up 9 ... until Columbia of course hit a three.  Got a huge break that the next (ridiculous) three was in-and-out.

Cornell got better down the stretch and wins 91-79.
