Men's Basketball March 2025

[Al DeFlorio]

Came back from the seemingly dead to make a game of it.

[Jordan 04]

Showed some fight. Just not enough stops down the stretch to complete a comeback.

[BearLover]

Cornell should be proud, great effort.

As long as Okereke doesn't graduate early I think we're better next year than a lot of people expect. Hinton and Beccles getting more time and Feigen becoming more central to the design of the offense will make up for a lot of what we lose in Ragland and Williams. We do need a big man in the post since Kiachian is a senior too. I don't think I saw 6'10" LeBeau in a real game at all.

So much good in this game but the shooting went cold when we needed to hit the open looks Yale was giving us.

Sad to lose, but it feels like Jacques got just about everything he could out of this roster. Am I wrong about that?

Proud of their effort. It was a fun tournament to go to even if it didn't end with us winning it all. We're gonna need AK to come back next year and since we're hosting Ivy madness, all we need to do is get in and we're in a good spot.

Proud of our effort today. I think this Yale team is the best Ivy team since our 2010 team, and we gave them a great battle. Too bad Noard was off his game today. As Ugarte says, if Okereke comes back we'll surely be in the mix for the league title next year; he's just a matchup nightmare for anyone in the Ivies. I too am concerned about our lack of size coming back besides AK, and none of the listed recruits seem to be big guys.

I don't know about our metrics for the NIT, but I think we're pretty worthy of a shot.

[Trotsky]

Nice to see us get within a game of MM.

[Weder]

ESPN is projecting 3 Ivies in the women's tournament (Harvard, Columbia, Princeton). If all of their predictions are correct, that would put the Ivies behind only the Power 4 in terms of number of teams in the field.

I was going to say, what's up with the black?  Doesn't even look like Cornell.  Red is so much more classic and stands out.

It's trendy, sadly.  Red and white.  Great colors.  Sigh.

Yes, black is in.  I was distressed by the color when I saw the women play Northwestern over Thanksgiving.  I found it very confusing.

disappointing that the Ivy runner up was not seen to merit a bid to the NIT this year ... we pretty well outranked a handful of teams that made the NIT on KenPom

Agreed, I wanted to see these guys get at least one more game together.

In the first round, Samford (who we beat) is playing at George Mason (who beat us.)

AK is most likely graduating early, which is going to be a huge blow for the team unfortunately.
