[Al DeFlorio]

Down 5 mid-2nd half

Crunch time. Up 3 with about 3 minutes left

71-71 1:28 left

74-71 Princeton 1:07.  Oh well they gave them a good run. See them again at the ILT.

Defense let us down in 2nd half.  Struggled to get stops.

79-77 bad guys. Looks like a rematch in the first round of the Ivy tournament is on tap

edit: Whoops, thought Yale was the higher team in NET rating. Looks like we'd get the Elis if everything holds next week

Toward the end, we looked stagnant and unimaginative. In the crunch, we went to a two-man game a few times and there really wasn't a lot there.

Yale, Princeton and Cornell lost to each other on the road, but won their home games.

don't really have any complaints tbh. it didn't happen but they were there. they were hitting shots and getting rebounds. the tigers just got a couple more. i like our chances in nyc.

You are right. A bounce here and a shot there.

But we made a run by driving the basket and getting fouls. Maybe a little more of that. And our usual back cut game was pretty much non-existent.

Welp, we showed that we can play with them, tourney is all that matters anyway. I believe we get Yale first round assuming they and Princeton win next week.

[Ken711]

Looks like a 3rd Yale matchup in the ILT for the Big Red.

Stanford fired its hoops coach and ESPN lists Princeton's Mitch Henderson as one of the top candidates for the job. If he were to leave Princeton, I'd be worried that Earl would be Princeton's top candidate, and it would seem likely he'd want to go back to his alma mater, which of course has a much stronger basketball tradition than Cornell.

I would be worried that Earl would be Princeton's top candidate. I wouldn't say it's likely that he wants to return. It's certainly a reasonable thing to think but he built this program. He lives in Ithaca with his family and he's in a very secure position. Coaches who lose get to stick arond forever; he's probably bought himself a lifetime sinecure already, as long as he doesn't say the n-word or fuck a student. Plus, other than alma mater, I doubt Princeton would pay materially more and it's probably a much more expensive place to live. If DePaul comes calling, on the other hand...

make 2-300K in Ithaca is like making a million in the bigger places.. One reason JB never left Syracuse for more money.
