Men's Basketball 24-25

tough game 2.

Samford was pretty solid last yr

The betting line has Samford giving 2.5. The game should be a good challenge for the Big Red.

I don't love the super-fast style of basketball. I'd like to see more half court work to get high percentage shots. Right there a player drove from the baseline and a teammate didn't bother to seal the help.

We are completely dependent on the three-point shot. If we hit them, we are ahead. But we aren't hitting them so far tonight.

What happened to the transfer from Washington State, AJ LaBeau?  Is he injured?

Gutsy win against a good Samford team

Amazing game over a really good team. It's always odd to me that we play a fast paced, three point heavy offense that would seem to have highly variable success yet we win almost every non conference game against non power 5 opponents and lose every non con game against power 5 opponents. On to La Salle Tuesday.

You would expect more variance, wouldn't you?  But since Cornell adopted this style -- and Jon seems intent on keeping it -- the only non-conference loss to a non Power 5 team was at George Mason (who was pretty good). It may help that the three point shooting is a team wide skill, so while one or two guys may be off, it is unlikely the whole team will be.

Tomorrow will be a test. LaSalle has two wins against two teams that are projected to be top half of the Patriot League, but IMHO not as good as Cornell.  It's early days, but Fiegen sure looks like a keeper.
