Men's Basketball March 2025

Let's fucking go. Cornell jumps out to a 10-0 lead against Princeton.

Good half but terrible turnover at the end, hopefully that doesn't cost us

Cornell up 21 at the first media timeout of the second half, so looking like it won't.

78-50 at the second media timeout, with Fiegen on the line coming out of the break with a chance to complete a 4-point play. This is sick.

Getting the feeling that we got all of the virus out of our system in Hanover.  The last few have been good.  Shame they didn't win that Yale game.

I assume because we beat Princeton twice we have the tiebreaker for the Ivy tourney, and thus the lowest seed we could be is 3rd (avoiding Yale in semis).

Unbelievable performance. Love the first round matchup vs Dartmouth, I think I'm gonna have to ship up to providence.

i think that's right. Dartmouth split with us and Princeton, we swept Princeton, so we finish 2d in the three-way tie, and beat Princeton H2H.

Even though Penn stinks this year, sweeping P/P feels pretty good.

Just as for the opposite, when Columbia or Brown are bad in football (this is historically the past decades), you still think of them as terrible. And when Penn/Princeton have bad/off years, it still feels as if they might turn things around in our P/P weekend.

Something of note that I caught while watching the game back: the announcers said that Okereke can graduate this year and if he does he would have to leave Cornell as graduate students can't play in the Ivy League. He is listed as a junior so I don't know if that means that he can choose if he graduates this year or not but we would be losing a huge piece if he leaves before his senior year.

That's what they very strongly implied. As a guy who got admitted on his academics and then walked on, I imagine he'll have his pick of transfer locations that suit his dual interests.

Another example of IVY being dumb.  Punish kids for being smart and graduating early

So romantic.
