Big one today. Looks to be shaping up as a race for the 4th playoff spot with Princeton Yale and Penn likely to make the tourney.

Big one today. Looks to be shaping up as a race for the 4th playoff spot with Princeton Yale and Penn likely to make the tourney.

Shooting too many goddam threes. Take it to the hoop. Fritter away too many big leads by missing threes.

2 of 9 threes. 9 of 13 twos. This team can get inside.

hard to complain too much with a 43-25 halftime lead over Brown. rebounding and defending well.

I'm talking in general, not specifically today, but today's percentages make the point: 4 for 17 threes; 18 for 24 twos. 1.5 points scored per two shot. 0.7 points per three.

well now that the lead is down to 8 i'm losing my mind. brown started pressing and the ball movement is hesitant and awkward with an inexplicable fondness for dribbling into traffic and passing in tight windows instead of a lot more off-ball movement and they are bricking all of the open looks.

ballhandlers are afraid to handle the ball and nobody moves to help so one guy after another gets trapped and now Brown is within 4 with around 5 minutes left. the big red pace doesn't work against pressure because they aren't skilled enough to run against a press without turning it over.

tied with 3:17 left when it was still around 15 halfway through the second half. incredible.

Nice to escape with a league road win, but the team better learn something from that second half.

...and cornell wins after Brown ties it at 72 when Kobe Dickson gets his own rebound and lays it in with a tenth of a second remaining.


hilarious coaching from Brown. pressing gets them to come back from 18, they stop pressing and Cornell immediately starts scoring again. great final possession by Cornell; nearly got Patel to the line then a nice inbound to Dickson to set up the W.

I love it when the NYTimes writes about D1 schools raking in millions in sports. The writers perhaps hated sports growing up, got beat up by jocks, never dated cheerleaders, and believe the major of NCAA schools, certainly the majority of D1 schools, are money factories. If those 225 in Providence paid an average of $5 a head, that would probably pay for the Cornell bus going back from Providence. No hotel, no meals, no coaches or trainers, no tape or sneakers.

Um. I'm never one to defend sportswriters, but (1) they are typically ex-jocks, and (2) writers don't dream of cheerleaders, they dream of the nerdy girl who also puts out.

Now, I'm not saying they date her, mind you. Typically they're too self-conscious to even meet her eyes. But their aim is higher than boobs on a stick. Leave the cheerleaders for the MBAs; they can babble to each other about People Magazine.

Princeton rematch is a wild one. Run and gun and very close about halfway through the first half. Still can't hit a 3.

I thought we were supposed to get the calls at home games? Officiating has seemed a bit rough to my eyes

Nice win.

really makes the collapse in the first game feel more acute but if we make the top 4 it's all good

Yale has come on strong, so they’re the likely favorite at the moment. But it’s pretty wide open.

whoops

It wasn’t a huge crowd, but that was the rowdiest Newman has sounded in some time.

Yale only has the loss to top 3 penn
Penn has the loss to top4 Pricn.. but last place Col
Prin has the loss to top 4 yale and cornell
Cornell has the loss top 4 yale/penn/princ

If we sweep Harvard we are in good shape if the other 3 continue to beat up the bottom 4.

still wondering how Penn lost to Col though.

It's basically 5 teams for 4 slots, unless you think Brown can win out. At least one projector has Cornell with the best odds for winning the Ivy League bid. Not sure I buy it, but it is fun to see.

One thing Cornell has going for it is two games left against last place Columbia (but as upprdeck said, the Lions did beat Penn). Harvard still has two games left to play against both Yale and Princeton, so their path is going to be difficult, but they host the ILT if they get there.

Sloppy start and wasting possessions on rushed threes.

Ugly start for both teams, with game tied at 8-8. Both offenses stagnant

scoop85

11 points in 10 minutes. Take it to the hoop. High percentage shots and draw fouls.

turned it on and heard "rally from 21 down" but Cornell is down 3 with .7 seconds left and Penn heading to the line as someone called a timeout so i'll check in later but assume this is over.

6 games left in the Reg season.. need to go 4-2 to end up 8-6

Harvard is 3-4 with games against Yale/Penn2x/Princ/Cornell. all ahead of them in the standings. they would need to go 5-2 so 3-2 against that group and still win the other 2.

Brown would have to run the table and thats not happening..

7-7 is where it gets Dicey

if we beat Harvard and still go 4-2 we are probably in. If we go 3-3 and beat Harvard probably in.

Flew under my radar, but I guess the make up game with Columbia was held this afternoon at Newman. Game flow made it look like a pretty comfortable win, 88-75.

yup.. i lost tracj of it as well.

Harvard lost to Yale which is a good result for us.

I watched the replay. Cornell, and especially Boothby, was red hot the 1st half and looked like it would be a blow out. But we cooled off the 2nd half and twice Columbia cut what was an 18 point lead to 3. But Dean Noll was rock solid and we were able to pull away toward the end.

Huge game at home Saturday against Brown.

scoop85
Huge game at home Saturday against Brown.

Not many sports, in most seasons, does one think of a Brown-Cornell game as crucial.
Okay, maybe in Ultimate.

Ugh. Brown gets payback with a putback slam with 3 seconds left to win by a point in Ithaca in a fun seesaw game.

With under a minute left Cornell took a one point lead on a 3 by Manon, then got a clean steal from Noll. Alas, Manon gave Brown the ball back and sent Brown to the line on a clumsy turnover / foul when he stumbled on a drive with ~30 seconds left. Dickson scored to get Cornell the lead back with ~14 seconds left. The defense forced a bad Brown shot but Ganey - the biggest player on the floor, I think - skied above everyone for a highlight reel jam and Cornell couldn't get upcourt cleanly for a last shot.

Brown's offensive rebounding was a difference and Cornell's interior defense has been its Achilles Heel all season. Cornell's offense is as good as anyone's in the Ivy League but it gets caught up in trading baskets. Manon is getting better at passing off when he drives but that late game turnover was a killer.

down the stretch

cornell Harv/Yale/Dart/Col

Have to win at least 2.. 7-7
Beating Harvard and going 3-1 would make it 8-6

Harv has 5 left cornell/prin2x/col/dart
4-1 would be the top of them i suspect 7-7
3-2 makes them 6-8


Brown has Prin/penn/yale/col.
going 2-2 would be most likely and ending up 6-8
beating 2 of the top teams and going 3-1 gets them to 7-7

if cornell beats harvard and then beats one of the lower 2 thats 7-7 and knocks out harvard most likely as well

Please NO! Let us not degrade further into judged events. It is why I find half of the Olympics unwatchable. Can someone explain why they have to have judging for style in Ski Jumping?

The Olympics are unwatchable because there's no second audio channel (SAP) that has neutral announcers. Even worse are the up-close-and-personal profiles. I don't think you can be on the U.S. team unless you or your family has worked through a personal tragedy and let a video crew traipse through the house. If NBC does an up-close on a German, he or she must be a model or heir to some Prussian title that fell into disrepute, and they're photogenic.

They judge style in ski jumping? Surely you put that in to see if we read the entire thread. It wasn't until recently that I knew if Monobob meant a single occupant or a single sled-runner. At least, and I checked, I haven't seen a headline, What About Monobob?, but maybe it's early innings for the media.

Honestly, they take distance and adjust it with style points in ski jumping. I agree that it is unwatchable live, for all the reasons you say. I DVR it and fast-forward to the actual competition.

unfortunately, in a text thread, it makes no sense to add "and don't call me Shirley".

Allegedly there are internet streams which just give you the event audio and a crawl with the times, names, and standings, and zero commenters, to avoid all the infantile and jingoistic network inanity.

some sports there are multiple broadcasts as well.. there is a NBC feed a Peackock/Olympic channel feed. often a feed with no talk for some events.

I dont find most feeds that biased compared to feeds from other countries because they reality is the broadcast in the US is for 2 things.. One is for promoting the US athletes and is for promoting the sport.. the US is good in some sports and not others and in many of those the US is just the token presence in the broadcast which is fine.. if my kid made a sport I would hope they made a broadcast and got some kind of shout out.

why would you not want this to happen for these people they put in a lot of work to get to an event that happens every 4 yrs and for most no financial gain at the other end. you want to complain the family gets a small 5 min window?

are you thinking every country does this different?

Cornell was up by 2 at the half in Hanover but have completely fallen apart in the second half. Down by 10 now.

Gross game so far. For us being so up tempo, just putrid possessions in the 2nd half. I think we should be even more aggressive.

Cornell fights back to go up 55-53 then gives up back-to-back corner threes and Dartmouth closes on an 18-4 run and wins 71-59.

Ken I love your passion in the Football thread but this isn’t true. The season probably comes down to tomorrow. If we lose, it’s probably over. But if we win, most likely 1-1 next weekend (with easy on paper Columbia as one game) should get us in.

no really over.. we neat columbia and harvard loses to princeton twice and we win that h2h. Harvard might also lose to Dartmouth who knows.

Disappointing how league play has gone, but have to say, I think this team has still exceeded my expectations overall. And with the play of the underclassmen, have to think the next few years we'll be pretty competitive.

About a month or so ago, someone posted here that they've signed 2 6'5" players. Years ago they would have been centers on most college teams. These days, most blue-chip guards are that size.

I didnt work too hard to look if its possible, but first glance i can see a 3 way tie at for first and 4 way tie for 4th in the books.

Harvard loses to Princeton and are eliminated from Ivy Tourney contention.

Harvard with a pair of free throws with 18 seconds left to take the lead; Princeton layup with 6 seconds left to take it back. 74-73 Princeton. I think this means it's over-over and Cornell clinches the 4 seed.

Taking a look at the tiebreaker scenarios with Dartmouth, Brown and Harvard at 6-8.

The tiebreaker rules are:

ivyleague.com
In the case of a two-way tie between teams in the final standings, the following process will be used until all ties are broken and the seeding process is completed (ties will be broken in rank order beginning with the highest seed):
Head-to-head competition – The higher seed will go to the team that has won the most League contests played against the other teams involved in the tie.
If a tie still exists, the tie will be broken by comparing each team’s record against the highest seed outside of the tie and continuing through the full league standings (if there is a group of tied teams, use each team’s record against the group rather than the individual teams) if necessary.
If a tie still exists, an average of the most recent ratings indices identified in advance by the coaches (e.g., Men: Sagarin, Ken Pom, BPI and NCAA Net/Women: NCAA Net) will be utilized to determine the higher seed.
If a tie still persists, a draw will be conducted by the Executive Director

Harvard - H2H split; Cornell 1-1 against Yale and Princeton; Harvard 0-2 vs both. Cornell advances.
Dartmouth - H2H split; Cornell 1-1 against Yale and Princeton; Dartmouth 0-2 vs both. Cornell advances.
Brown - H2H split; Cornell 1-1 against Yale and Princeton; Brown 0-2 vs Princeton, 0-1 vs Yale. Cornell advances.

ivyleague.com
In the case of a multiple team tie (more than two teams tied for the same spot), the following process will be used: Note: Once a highest seed (amongst the tied teams) is determined, the tie between the remaining seeds shall be determined on a basis on head-to-head competition.
Records between the tied teams – The higher seed will go to the team that has won the most League contests against the other teams tied at that spot.
If a tie still exists, the tie will be broken by comparing each team’s record against the highest seed outside of the tie and continuing through the full league standings (if there is a group of tied teams, use each team’s record against the group rather than the individual teams) if necessary.
If a tie still exists, an average of the most recent ratings indices identified in advance by the coaches (e.g., Men: Sagarin, Ken Pom, BPI and NCAA Net/Women: NCAA Net) will be utilized to determine the higher seed.
If a tie still persists, a draw will be conducted by the Executive Director

C-B-H All 1-1 against each other. Cornell's 2 wins against Princeton and Yale better than Brown's potential 1 and Harvard's 0. Cornell advances.
C-B-D All 1-1 against each other. Cornell's 2 wins against Princeton and Yale better than Dartmouth's 0. Cornell advances.
C-H-D impossible because H&D play each other to close the season; one will finish 5-9. This also precludes a 4-way tie.

Well, one less decision to make since the Ivy League Tournament is being held at Harvard this year.

Relatedly, going to this game would be a short drive for me, but I am having a bit of sticker shock, as a single bleacher ticket is $55? Seems like they're obviously steering people to the bundle, where all 3 games costs... :::checks notes::: $150. Does the league just not want people to attend this?

Cornell has now beaten Princ once and a good shot the other time. also beat Yale once..

Might want to see Prin win this thing and have Yale take out Penn..

a) Ivy Leaguers are affluent. For the most part.
b) Ivy League Sports doing its part to promote responsible, limited attendance.

Of course I argue winter weather for winter sports, but what do I know? I guess I’m the weirdo who can actually exist without complaining in cold climates.

Yeah, how hard is it to wear a hat, coat, and scarf? If you really can't take it, wear long underwear.

6 degrees is nothing.
