Not going to like this loss after that start.

really clean defense on the last Dartmouth possession to force a terrible, awkward three at the buzzer.

Only watched the end because of a hockey game but we can't keep letting bad teams hang with us. Nevertheless, I definitely won't complain much about a 5-0 start in the Ivy League.

After a hot start, I thought it was well in hand! Glad we got it done.

Bigger news is that Princeton went on the road and lost to Yale as well.

So next weeks Yale game becomes even bigger, now that they both have a 2 game lead over Princeton

The way things seem to be going, getting the #1 seed will be huge for whoever, as that team won't have to play one of Princeton-Yale-us in the first game.

We were lucky to win after shooting 6-for-31 on 3-pointers. Kudos to Cornell, though,, for pulling out a win on a night when it played poorly. As the ex-Dartmouth coach who was doing the ESPN-plus commentary kept saying toward the end of the game, Cornell knows how to pull out close games, as evidenced by its record. If we play like this against Yale next week, though, we'll get blown out. Yale's 7-foot center keeps getting better and better. I watched a few minutes of Yale-Princeton game and it was a raucous atmosphere at Payne Whitney with a packed house making lots of noise. That's going to be a tough environment for any road team.

I thought from the posts that we had lost.

Harvard won't be easy tonight as they have good big man in Agjibor along with Chisom Opara and the freshman guard Malik Mack.  They lack quality depth which should help Cornell

True about a lot of game-chatter in the "Other Sports" forum. I swear given the grousing during lax season, I'm sometimes surprised when I find we won 16-7.

to be fair to this thread, the posts went from "it's 19-0 Cornell" to "It's 27-21 Cornell" to "we're losing somehow" to "whew! we escaped," so having the in-game posts imply that we might lose is an accurate representation of the game. 1 point was not the largest deficit of the game; Dartmouth was up 8 with 8:30 left.

Going into the weekend, I was very concerned about the Harvard game.  But what happened last night might have been the best thing that could have happened going into tonight's game.
