Cornell vs Ohio State NIT game - Preview

[mike1960]

We're fouling a lot. I wonder if we're getting tired.

We're outsized. Mostly smart fouls imo.

75-74, OSU with ~3:30 left and Cornell will have the ball coming out of a timeout Earl called to resettle the offense.

Reach in fouls.

Such a soft call

Officiating has not been kind, but we are showing alot of fight

Ya can't get in another player's face in college. They'll call that every time.

Like the guy said, he may have been warned after the dunk.

79-76, Cornell ball with 2:08 to play. OSU making it near-impossible to get a 3 off by playing tight on the perimeter.

Somehow I doubt the same play made by OSU is resulting in that same call. My comment also wasn't meant to be limited to that play, as OSU has rightfully been playing us very physical given their size/athleticism advantage all game, and we've been getting ticky-tacky stuff called,

Huge 3 from Nazr, great defensive possession, driving layup by Gray. Cornell 81-79 with 57.5 left. This is a great game.

[mike1960]

Another great play by Gray to the hoop on a tough shot off the glass.

[mike1960]

He called a timeout!

Goddamn refs

Speculation is not evidence.

[mike1960]

I wonder how bad we were out rebounded tonight.

[chimpfood]

Seems like we are incapable of beating power teams, just seems like a mental block honestly.

I think we played a great game without Manon and being outsized by a lot. We've got a good program going now.

He called a timeout!

I thought we should have gotten the TO too. Nazir lost the handle on a drive and tried to get the ball back and the ref called a jump ball with possession going the wrong way.

Clutch 3 from Ohio State to go up one, the Nazir Williams turnover, then a long inbounds pass for an easy bucket to go up three. Off a timeout, Isaiah Gray had a clean lane for a dunk but he switched to a layup and missed it with ~15 seconds left. Cornell had to foul but now down 5 with 15 seconds left. Cornell inbounds, inexplicable dribbling, Williams layup. Ohio State long inbounds with 3.7 seconds... foul... Ohio State makes the first and this is over. They hit the second.

Hell of a game but no dice. Cornell falls 88-83.
