You have to think Brown will be desperate today.  They really played poorly in hosting Harvard on Saturday.

nasty day to head out and drive home later.

lets hope they just want to get out of there.

Mr. Niss

Not thrilled with the play of #8.  He seems to get more time on the floor than he merits.

Mr. Niss

Shot 80% from the field and have a six point lead.  Not great, Bob.  Here's to shooting 90% in the second half.

Cornell is up by 4 with 8 minutes left. Hinton commits some real silly fouls but has been knocking down shots and disrupting passing lanes.

Meanwhile, the Cornell crowd is heckling Brown's leading scorer because he's getting blanked. Kind of wild that he's being shut out and Brown is still in the game so the hecklers may want to chill out.

oh man bullshit offensive foul on ak okereke on a killer spin move

ugarte

Bad turnover by Ragland, losing focus after a rebound and getting stripped. Brown scores, cuts the Cornell lead to 1 with 3:59 left.

Mr. Niss

The officiating in this game has been atrocious.

As, unfortunately, has our free throw shooting.

fortunately their free throw shooting has also been bad! 82-82 with 1:02 left and Cornell has the ball and 24 seconds on the shot clock coming out of a time out.

ugarte

goddamit. Brown goes 1-2 from the line to take a one point lead with 10 seconds left. Williams dribbled into traffic and was left with an awful shot that was deflected out of bounds with .5 left. Cornell got the ball in to Ragland, who had a decent enough look from 3, but he clanged it at the buzzer. 83-82 loss.

Got outhustled and outmuscled today.  Brown's 2nd chances on shots were the difference.  Cornell has had a tough time getting stops on defense this year. Pm

Cornell was 7-for-16 from the foul line in a one-point loss. That says it all.

Aaron Cooley looked all-world out there.

Terrible coaching at the end there, Jacques NEEDS to call a timeout the second that naz crossed half after that missed free throw but he just let him go. Not to mention how after that naz was trapped under the hoop and we still didn't call a timeout. And then the last shot being a fadeaway from our big man was icing on the cake. Terrible finish, this loss could come back to hurt us. I want everyone on the team shooting 100 free throws every morning for the next week.

I didn't see the game, but that's a tough one to swallow. Strange that after being almost unbeatable at home the past few years, this season we're struggling at Newman and doing great on the road.
