Men's Basketball 24-25

[ugarte]

I was disappointed to see that RMU was lower than us in KenPom. Iona is ranked around where RMU is. Columbia, at 7-0, still getting no respect from the computers.

So far so good... Cornell up 8 with 3 minutes in the first half. Ball movement is good on offense and positioning is really solid on defense.

Cornell was up a much as 20 in the second half but with 5:25 left Iona has cut it to 11... but Feigen just hit a 3. Huge relief but Cornell's defense is falling apart.

Good guys win by 16 (84-68).  Not to be Eeyore, but the Big Red's issues were on full display:  19 turnovers, 13 offensive rebounds given up (felt like more).  But Cornell has much better shooters and that is important.

Hope this shot chat shows up, but you can tell Coach Jacques is a firm believer in new age basketball in that you shoot at the rim or behind the arc.  For the game, Cornell took two shots that were neither.  A hook by Ryan in the key and Nazier's 10 footer at the very, very end when both teams had stopped playing.

Somehow we won the rebound battle by 2, but being finally able to hit some shots made all the difference. Our style will always result in turnovers, but what is baffling is how many turnovers are the result of lazy passes. But kudos to the team for coasting to a 16-point win on the road vs. a team that lost by 1 to Princeton. Great bounce back after the poor game vs Robert Morris.

Now let's hope the Syracuse team that struggled with Youngstown State is the one that shows up Wednesday night and that we finally end the streak.

they struggled against LeMoyne(!) and Colgate too, before close road losses against Texas and Texas Tech. A friend who is a Syracuse fan said they stink this year so fingers crossed.

It's a beautiful day to end a 43 game losing streak dating back to the sixties. I thought last year was our chance but Syracuse looks even weaker this time around, a good shooting day and I think we have them. Let's go red!

Still mad we lost with the Sweet 16 team.

[Mr. Niss]

We were up the dreaded 10-2.  The rest was obvious.

[chimpfood]

Getting railed by the refs and missing shots. Seemed like we were just lucky at first that Syracuse wasn't hitting anything.

If only Okereke could finish at the rim.

[mike1960]

30% 3 pt shooting.

[mike1960]

Looked like a goal tend to me.

[mike1960]

This was a winnable game.

SU took Fiegin out of the game and yes a little better 3 point shooting would have helped. Found former SU player Devendorf's commentary annoying.
