Cornell Basketball 2025-26 Thread

[Mr. Niss]

so far we've given away three points with missed free throws, not even 1/4 way through the game

Noard is a little too quick with the three. 

[Al DeFlorio]

MSU right on us so difficult to shoot threes.

Great half, we're playing our game. make free throws, stop fouling and we'll have a chance to win this

[Mr. Niss]

The story of this team.  Great first half, destroyed in the second.

When hitting the 3s we can match up up but the defense is our Achilles heel-regardless of playing a Michigan or a Kent State.

I'm somewhat satisfied overall. The first half was obviously incredible. Second half we weren't getting any penetration and seemed to give up on cutting off-ball. As a result we chucked a lot of bad threes and missed them. The fouls were awful. I get being frustrated that Michigan State is constantly grabbing O boards over your head but you can't keep swiping at the ball after they have it if the refs are calling it every time. Luckily Ivy League refs let a lot go so I don't think this will be a major issue down the stretch.

Sepp had what must be one of the fastest foul outs ever but I didn't hate how he played when he was out there despite a pretty putrid stat line.

Baldwin played a great game today. It's so hard to play against a power school as an undersized center and he left it all out there on defense, and put up 10 points along the way.

Good games from Fiegen, Noard, Hinton, but everyone else seemed scared to shoot. Wonder if coach told them not to or if they just thought they should feed the stars against such a good team.

We scored the most points that Michigan state will let up all year so that is definitely a positive. Downsides were the fouling, defense, and second half offense. We need to be less slap happy on the ball and not just resort to chucking threes to try to get back into a game. And of course we are too small but there is nothing to do about that.

I'm somewhat encouraged overall. Let's crush Alfred state and then get a big first Ivy League win over Columbia.

We have Alfred State tripled up at halftime. They are 2-10 as a DIII school. Yikes

Final 133 - 65.  A new all-time scoring record for the Big Red -- by 10 points.

Cornell has played Alfred State twice.  This was the close game.  I guess it was a workout, got some game time for the deep bench, and no one got hurt.  Otherwise, on Monday it counts.

HS classmate of my son's got 13 minutes of run on a D-1 court so that's pretty cool.

Was curious how Brian Earl was doing at Willam & Mary this year, they're off to a 11-3 start.

Up until recently, Alfred State was a 2-year school, basically my high school's 13th & 14th grades.

The Gio kid looked pretty good today.

[Mr. Niss]
