Men’s Basketball 23-24

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.

Push!

I thought he was great against Baylor.  Good to see him put some great games together.  I thought his start to the season was not up to his ability.  Perhaps he was hurt.  He has looked much better more recently.

[Mr. Niss]

So I don't get in trouble, the game is tied at 19 (we aren't losing) -- but this first half so far has been quite the shitshow.

[Mr. Niss]

Not gonna beat anyone shooting 37.5%.  Brutal first half.  So many great looks missed.  I can't imagine that this continues in the second half.

Edit -- nice to get one right.

Very good second half, I hate the Penn coach so it's nice to beat him.

Manon is playing more under control in not in committing the silly reach in fouls that have put him in foul trouble. Overall good team effort in 2nd half.

Manon had quite a game.  Worth checking out the game highlights video, if you haven't already done so.

26-22 over Brown after 12 minutes.  Finally hitting threes after woeful shooting start.

40-28 big red with 5 to go in the first half. A nice little hot stretch going right now and brown isn't getting too much against our D.

[Al DeFlorio]

Free throws and second-chance buckets are Brown's offense.

Yeah, not so shockingly getting into the bonus about 8 minutes into the game is keeping brown afloat.

[Mr. Niss]

the middle 14 minutes of this half were amazing ... the first three and last three, not so amazing

[Al DeFlorio]

Disorganized, sloppy final three minutes and Brown cuts lead from 16 to 7.  Yuck.
