Men's Basketball 24-25

what is going on bruh hit your shots

If you're going to run a quick shooting, three-point heavy offense, you have to hit the three-pointers.

With 5 minutes left, we are 4 for 24 shooting on three pointers, or 16.67%.

Shooting below 20 percent from three is ridiculous considering our whole offense is based off of high pace play that generates open 3's. Even last game, our shooting took a nose dive in the second half (2-14!!!!) which almost cost us the game if not for the game winner from Fiegan. Besides the abysmal shooting, the team constantly gives up lazy turnovers and looks uncoordinated on offense.

I'm most annoyed by the lazy turnovers.

I'm annoyed by the poor man-to-man defense. We're just not moving our feet to stay in front of our guys, and we're losing track of players who get open for good looks or layups. And that poor defense leads to all the reach in fouls.

This game was kind of a slog to watch.

Yep that was gross, nothing really matters until Ivy League games though I guess.

fair

Hard to imagine the guys actually had a 35-34 lead 15 minutes in, considering what the second half felt like.  

No question, last night's defense won't win many games. But there is a month and a half to improve and see where we are when league play begins.

Next several games are all winnable.

Given the way the second half went, the following probably is an overstatement, but I thought the sloppy possession at the end of the first half was a killer.  With the ball and the chance to go into the locker room down 4 (or 3) and instead you go in down 8 and LaSalle starts the second half with the ball.  I don't remember if Naz was on the court, but to me the ball should have been in his hands there.

Yeah, that was the turning point of the game. TBH Naz didn't have his best game last night, and we'll need him to step up. I do like what I see early from Beccles, and think he's going to develop into an All-Ivy guard before he's done.

Too many turnovers, and as other's have stated the 3pt shooting as cold as ice.

Nazir hasn't been at this best so far this season, but he started slow last year too and by the end was his usual self.  I think minor injuries were a role last year and this.  

Beccles has been earning more minutes and we could use his skill set on the floor.

Cornell's play is sloppy but Lafayette isn't very good so with 6 minutes left Cornell is up 64-58.

Tight game at the end. 68-65 Cornell with 3:50 left.

[mike1960]

Seems odd to schedule basketball and football at the same time on the same campus.

[mike1960]

Some good three-point shooting at the end. Cornell had height and shooting advantage.
