JFC it's 6 degrees in Placid right now.

Play the ECACs in Vegas.

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.

By definition, "winter weather" in Vegas is whatever the weather is in Vegas right now, and it will continue to be "winter weather" until March 20.

anyway i'm going to columbia-cornell even though it doesn't matter unless it's sold out lol

its gonna be 50 here this weekend.. it may well be that warm in placed in 3 weeks..

Ski Whiteface and then go to the hockey games. Or take a bobsled ride, go skating, go snowshoeing, etc. All kinds of great things to do in Lake Placid.

You are never more than a 3-minute walk from a bar downtown. The speed-skating oval (outdoors) is open again. Skate first, drink later. By March 18, pond hockey on Mirror Lake (the one right in town) is probably shut down.

Even though this discussion about LP is in the Men's Hoops thread, I would think we may want to hold off on these kinds of discussions until after March 13. The woofing gods have a way of sneaking up on us....

Just sayin....

nice finish to the reg season..

Definitely. If we could hit layups we'd have won by 40. Columbia can't shoot at all.

11am game vs Princeton @ harvard.. about all you could ask for to get a shot at the finals.. lots of tickets available

He's going to be recruited. Just feel it. Somebody wants to get him before he, like, wins the Ivies in '24 and some mid-major has to pay even more.

It did work out for him in the end, didn't it. I'm sure he'd love to be the head coach of his alma mater Princeton.

Now doubled up at 32-16. Princeton’s top 2 guys are the best 2 guys on the floor, they aren’t missing from 3, and we can’t hit anything outside the paint. Not a good combination.

But with 30 seconds left in the half we're within 5. Post the good news too!

Patel missed an open 3 that would have been nice as I was typing. And Mannon missed from half-court at the buzzer. Still 5 at the half.

I was just coming back here to say that despite Princeton’s insane start, we’re hanging in. We just had 4 cracks to cut it to 3, but couldn’t convert.

Now a great block by Ragland, and we’re down 5 at the half. Terrific effort by our guys.

Keep pressure on to limit open threes.

have to hope they just hit a few jump shots the 2nd half to go along with the effort. cornell 45/20 vs prin 60/55 . hopefully Prince cant shoot that well all game.

24-5 streak

Down 1, we’re playing well. If we could just hit our layups …

Right!

Lax up 5-0 late first. Zero shots for Tambronis.

CUup 67-66; 6:30 left. Very entertaining game.

Keep missing layups.

Need a defensive rebound.

Terrible time to forget how to rebound

The color guy, who’s a Princeton alum, is a shameless homer. It’s one thing to be that way on the home stream, but this is not that.

Can't stop the big man.

Nope. Unanimous POY for a reason

that last sequence really hurt not getting one rebound.. didnt help the refs swallowed the whistle on the clear off foul and then ignored the kid getting the rebound and walking halfway across the court with the ball.

but good effort

He did, but he had a monster 2nd half.

We are aware our Achilles heal is our lack of beef inside, and while we have some nice recruits coming in, none is over 6’6”. Maybe we’ll get someone through the transfer portal.

Goddamn that was close. Needed a rebound late. Can't really complain about the lack of a foul call if only because they weren't calling fouls inside all game. Don't know what next year will look like but this was a fun team.

I didn't think the Princeton guy was much of a homer. He clearly wanted them to win but he didn't seem to be calling a biased game.

Attended the game in person, and as mentioned, the lack of rebounding at the end killed us. I went in with no expectations, but definitely let myself start believing until it fell away in the last 30 seconds. I don't think it made a difference, but did feel the officiating favored Princeton (I think they had only been called for 3 fouls total with about 5 minutes left in the 2nd). Other highlight of the game was Jeff Foote was honored as a legend of Ivy League basketball during one of the media timeouts, and he was in attendance with Wittman and Dale. Great memories.

Also started making some memories by taking my little guy to his first (of hopefully many more) Cornell sporting events. Don't think he was as disappointed in the game as I was, since he slept through the last 7 minutes of game time.

CBI? CIT?

The should have asked Jeff to suit up--I understand they needed size this weekend.

I hope that all of the Big Three from the Sweet 16 team (Foote, Wittman, Dale) are doing well--I agree, semsox, they provided great memories for Cornell fans.

I wish I had a picture like that from 2010, but the Carrier Dome wanted to charge my then-18-month-old for a full-price ticket.

Looking back at how much that 18-month-old has cost me in hockey, I should have just taken him to the damn basketball game.

Way. The ticket agent was very clear - every attendee, regardless of age, required a ticket. I even remember asking someone at the game with a lap infant. Sure enough, the kid needed a ticket.

Looks like that policy has been relaxed since Ticketmaster took over. I guess when they're charging a 50% convenience fee, they can afford to let a few babies in the door for "free."

yeah. but that was the ncaa game you are talking about i thought? Dome had no control over any of that, Since i have been going to games there for 30+ years pretty much anyone under 3-4 did not need a ticket.

Whoever made the decision, it sucked. Left the wife and kid back at the hotel and solo'ed it.

Wikipedia seems to think Cornell was invited, however, there's a one-team discrepancy between that list and this schedule of games, which notes that Wofford's opponent forfeited due to COVID-19.

Any bets on how that played out?

I don't see Cornell on the wiki. they don't seem able to fill the bracket.

Edited out about 8 minutes ago.

Good ol' Wikipedia.

"Forfited" lol this tournament is a train wreck.

Saw on Twitter that Jordan Jones has entered the transfer portal. I’m assuming he has 2 years of eligibility remaining. He’s a good mid-major player, but if he’s looking to play for a power conference I don’t see him as a starter at that level.

A shame if he goes. Was looking forward to watching him play next year. Patel, Noll, and Dickson have an extra year to use elsewhere also. Am a little concerned about future of Ivies. It is starting to look like a farm system for the bigs. Cornell, Penn, and Brown have been pushing for graduate student eligibility but it just voted down again by the Ivy Prexies (For rules to change it has to be a 6-2 vote) according to The Dartmouth. I wish the Ivy athletes could form a union to push back against the anti-athletic policies that are set by the league. The latest is the 25% reduction in football recruiting classes that is upcoming.

What a joke. An athletic league that does not support athletics or its athletes. Did The Dartmouth say what the vote was?

Jimmy Boeheim works on his NBA degree before he sees where his one from Cornell takes him.

By Stefan Bondy NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

Jimmy Boeheim is tabling his Ivy League degree and future in finance for his dream of professional basketball.

That dream brought him Thursday to Tarrytown, where Boeheim, the son of legendary Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, worked out for the Knicks at their practice facility with a group of five other draft-eligible prospects.

Boeheim, who played last season for his father after graduating from Cornell, will likely go undrafted later this month. But he’s willing to play in the G League or overseas.

It’s less stable, but probably more exciting than the paths of his Cornell classmates.

“A lot of them are in the City doing stuff in finance. It’s good for them,” he said. “Right now I’m hoping I don’t’ have to use my degree for a while. I’m just enjoying this game, seeing how far it’ll take me.”

Jimmy, 24, a 6-foot-8 forward, is viewed as the lesser prospect of the Boeheim brothers, with Buddy, the younger sibling by 18 months, projected as a possible second-round pick because of a top-level 3-point shot.

The brothers were key contributors to Syracuse’s 16-17 season, which ended controversially for Buddy because he was suspended for the final game after hitting a Florida State player in the stomach.

Buddy previously worked out for the Knicks, according to college basketball reporter Adam Zagoria, and Jimmy said Thursday his game has benefited from practicing with his brother.

“He’s a great shooter, for sure,” Jimmy said. “That’s been an area of focus to build on my shot. I’ve come a long way and it feels great right now. So it’s about continuing getting more consistent. It’s great when you can shoot with one of the best shooters in the country every day in my brother.”

Jimmy was forced to take a year off from basketball because the Ivy League shut down its entire season of 2021-22 amid the pandemic. He then graduated from Cornell with a finance degree and transferred to Syracuse for his final year of eligibility, averaging 13.4 points over 33 games while proving capable of producing in a major conference.

He also had to learn a new name for his father.

“It was a little adjustment. I never really knew what to call him — Dad, coach,” Boeheim said. “It was weird to call him coach after calling him dad for so long. But it was awesome the moments we got to spend with one another.”

Jimmy Boeheim had worked out for a few NBA teams before Thursday but acknowledged a special affinity for the Knicks because they’re somewhat of a local team and Carmelo Anthony is an Orange legend.

Jim Boeheim, the Syracuse coach, is also close with Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau. Both were assistants on the gold medal U.S. team at the 2016 Olympics.

So Thursday was an opportunity for Jimmy to impress in a 3-on-3 setting.

“I love basketball more than I ever have right now. I’m so into it, there’s no way I can give it up right now,” he said. “Whatever basketball throws at me—G league, NBA, overseas—whatever it may be, I’m ready and will attack it with all I got and continue to have fun and love the game.”

If nothing works out, Boeheim can always return to NYC on Wall Street.
