Cornell v. Pepperdine MBB preview

[nycred]

What a game, some familiar flaws with this Cornell team but seeing way too much negativity and whining already.

86-85 Final Score, Cornell Big Red win against a great Pepperdine team, jacob beccles scores the game winning basket

+ great shooting from 3
+ great games from rafiq, beccles, imegwu
+ good contributions from newcomers quinn gibson (8 rebounds) and mikehi williams
- kaspar sepp turnover that almost cost us the game (13 7 and 6 tho)
- too much fouling
- late game near-collapse

kaspar sepp is so close to being good but also so dangerously weird. terrible ball handler, reluctant shooter, too-aggressive passer. there's something there, though. i see why jaques plays him.

All true, but not like Jaques has a lot of other options on the bench who are arguably a "big".

And by not a lot, you mean "none." It's not like Jeff Foote is sitting on the bench looking for PT.  Imegwu has skills, but he's a shooter not a rebounder.  Sepp is flawed, but fine.

I will take a win where the other guys get 18 more FTs and 6 more offensive rebounds.  It really felt like more.

Very impressed by the poise and skills of Gibson and Williams; though Gibson's first two FT's were ugly.  Have we had a true freshman play such important minutes since Nazir?

I'm so ready to go all in on this team again and be heartbroken by a 25 point loss to Yale in March.
