Disappointing in that Yale controlled the tempo and made us play their game. We couldn’t get shots and never got into a rhythm. I had a feeling of doom when Mahoney hit the desperation 3 from 30 feet at the end of the shot clock to make it 9-2. We never really recovered after that.

they scored ~10 with the buzzer sounding during flight. we couldn't get out shots to fall from 2 or 3 and were uncharacteristically timid with an open lane. didn't help that the refs weren't calling contact on our drives. closing to six was a thrill but the wheels came off again. a shame because we're losing a lot to graduation.scoop85

beccles and feigen were getting real minutes at the end and noard had a really good year too. i guess i have to have faith in earl now.

Agreed, the officiating allowed Yale to hack us with impunity. That surely didn’t help our cause.
While we lose some valuable players for sure, we have a nice core coming back, especially in the backcourt. Okereke was a revelation this year, and we’ll need him to take another step, as our front court will be a work in progress. Looks like we have a couple of nice guards coming in, but at this point we don’t have any commits up front. But like you I have faith in Earl, as he seems to find guys out of nowhere.

Couldn’t make a shot and got railed by the refs with fucking brown waiting in the final. This was our chance and it’s gone, so disappointing.

Perhaps I didn’t have a good angle, but from 5 rows behind the scorers table I didn’t think anybody got screwed by refs. There was the one Mannon drive late. Otherwise it seemed pretty even. I remember a few plays in the opening minutes where we made contact and Yale was complaining about non-calls.
Can’t shoot below 30% for much of the day and expect to win. That stretch of 4, 5, 6 stops in a row and not closing a 19-14 gap was brutal.

They were terrific last week against Columbia. Another game like that today and we’d be playing tomorrow. But credit to Yale, who never allowed us to get anything going.

NIT sucks now. NCAA$ changed the rules of the NIT in October: The top 2 teams out of 6 power Conferences left out of the NCAA tourney get auto bids to the NIT, they each serve as the host team, and they get in even if they have a losing record. Seems there is never enough money for the likes of SEC Commish Greg Sankey (SUNY Cortland alum) and his ilk in the power leagues.

This site has Cornell as literally the last team in the NIT. I think they will be too busy squeezing in power conference teams that don't want to be there.
Cornell will certainly get invited to the CIT or CBI unless they make it clear they won't pay to play.

last minute choke by brown, missing a ton of free throws then leaving a man unguarded under the basket for a bunny as the clock expired to lose by 1. incredible 3-point shooting from yale in the clutch.

NCAA
For the third-straight season, the NIT seeded only the top half of the 32-team field. The bottom 16 unseeded teams were placed into the bracket by the NIT Committee as close to their area of natural interest as possible.
Columbus, Ohio, is close our area of natural interest? I think I see four top half schools closer to Ithaca.

For folks who don't follow college hoops, Ohio State was floundering in conference play. In Mid-February they fired their coach after a 2-9 stretch and have gone 6-2 since then. So, the bucknuts probably aren't pouting about not making the NCAA Tournament -- since they played their way out of that conversation by Valentine's Day. And they look more like a team that is starting to enjoy playing as a team, rather that a squad that is just going through the motions waiting for the season to end.
This will be very challenging game, but I'm looking forward to these guys getting one more chance to take down a big name.

in other ivy hoops news, princeton is in the NIT with us, pulling a 2 seed.
in other, other ivy hoops news, princeton won the women's ILT but columbia still made the field as an at-large. ivy women's hoops as a two-bid conference. i never thought i'd see the day.

That's the scenario -- a generational team that wins the league 14-0 who then gags in the ILT. But that team better be a stone cold NCAA lock, or the SEC commissioner will pout and filibuster the tournament so a 17-14 Florida team can go instead.
If you are watching tonight, a heads up that the NIT is using the wider lane that they use in the NBA/FIBA. Maybe that helps open space for our guys?

With an entertaining 23-24 in the rear view mirror (sadly), Cornell has 3 confirmed recruits for next year’s class:
None of the 3 commits has high major offers, but as we just saw last night, Earl’s recruits can go toe-to-toe with 4 and 5 star recruits. In Earl we trust.
We often pickup additional recruits late in the cycle, and as always we could use some more size up front. Ragland will be the main big guy next year, but Ryan Kiachian, who got some court time last night, and Chris Cain, who was injured the 2nd half of the season, could emerge to fill the void left by Hansen’s graduation. And 6’9” rising sophomore Ian Imegwu showed some ability in his very limited minutes.
- Gio Panzini, a 6’5” swingman from Saint Rose High School in New Jersey. From his video, he plays very much like Chris Manon, as he loves to attack the basket. His high school just won its first New Jersey state title since 1977
- Anthony Nimani, a 6’4” point guard from Connecticut who just completed a PG year at the Berkshire School after becoming the all-time leading scorer at Platt High School. Nimani seems to be a combo guard along the lines of Nazir Williams
- Mateen Rafiq, a 6’0” guard from Weston Ranch HS in California. Rafiq, although on the small side, is a deadly 3-point shooter.

I liked that Beccles and Feigen started getting real minutes at the end. Feigen can flat shoot and Beccles can put the ball on the floor and finish (but can't shoot well from what I saw). I'm looking forward to seeing what Beccles can do when he's got more freedom to attack.

Also don't forget that Josh Baldwin who was the top freshman last year should be back from recovering from a blown ACL. Hopefully Earl can get a power forward too. As we have seen from the few years-the best way to beat Cornell is to attack inside. Brown University's big guys will be back next year to raise havoc too.

Yeah, that’s not the type of job I would have thought he’d leave for. Given the Ivy’s improvement over the past decade, I don’t see a CAA school as a big step up. And is W&M really going to be a player in the NIL space? I don’t get this.

I of course don't know if he's actually qualified, but I hope they just give it to Jon Jaques, for consistency in how they've played, for recruiting consistency, and because as an alum perhaps he'd stay longer if he has success than someone who would leave us for a program like William & Mary.

Tough news, but I guess it was expected that he wouldn't stay forever.
I hope the AD chooses someone who knows how to win, even if it's at a lower division. Choosing assistant coaches based on pedigree and coaching trees is a gamble.

That seems like the most likely scenario. He’s now in his mid-30’s and has been a part of two successful regimes at Cornell. Knows the recruiting landscape and would provide continuity. May depend upon how strongly (if at all) Earl pushes for Jon to get the job.

Mr. Niss
Brian Earl has resigned to take the head coaching job at William & Mary.
Do you think that Manon, Gray et al will become grad students at W & M?

As pointed out in one of the Virginia papers he has access to scholarships and graduate transfers.

I wish Earl the best, but I don't get this move. The CAA is a step down conference-wise and W&M makes Cornell look like a basketball school.
I wonder if Kevin App's name resurfaces. He's had success at Willliams.

That too perhaps. I lived in Williamsburg for a time. Much better weather obviously, and cheaper to live (taxes, housing, etc).

I think it’s a bad sign for the program if our coach is uprooting his family after our most successful season in 14 years to go to William and Mary of all places.

Yale fans are convinced Wolf is taking NIL money and bailing, but they could be seeing ghosts.
Williamsburg is an odd place. Summers are brutal because it is nearly swamp land (worse than an Ithaca winter? YMMV) and verrrry touristy. But I have a good friend who retired there, so it can't be all bad.
Over on the basketball-u board, a Princeton poster asserted that the W&M hoops budget is twice that of Cornell's (2mil+ v. 1mil+). So, Brian probably got a nice raise and access to more resources and is in charge of the clear #1 winter sport there. And has a pick of far more pancake houses (seriously, they are everywhere there.
The CAA is also a one-bid league, so I'm not sure the NCAA path is that much easier

Until Ned arrived, basketball was the premier winter sport. That’s no longer true, and probably won’t be again.

I know, I know. But we don't have the resources to compete in Moneyball, whether the pigskin version or squeakball version. For the latter, it saps all the life from it for me; for the former, at least the Ivies very early on separated from the rest and did their own thing. It's not great, but it's at least something. I just can't get jazzed up about a #15 seed beating a #2 seed and seeing that as some sort of accomplishment. It's not going to work out in the end.
I used to know folks around campus who were more invested in Cornell basketball than in Cornell hockey. I remember that run in 2010. It was cool and all, but people seemed to be paying more attention to it than they did hockey, where we had a legitimate chance at a title!
I mean, different strokes for different folks, and don't yuck other people's yum, but it just mystifies me.

Presumably as Associate Head Coach the guy handling those questions is Jacques, but I suppose they could have reached out to anyone on staff.arugula

I also saw that Penn's Slajchert is in the portal but I don't remember his class year.

I know a guy who was head coach at an Ivy lacrosse program, and he voluntarily took a job as HC at a DIII school. I think his ambition was to be able to raise his family and live a long, happy life, rather than put up with all the stress that comes with coaching a sport at an elite level.

The Formula for success is continuity:
We have seen that in Cornell ice hockey, wrestling, and ice hockey where individuals who were assistants or familiar with the program have moved up and continued those respective programs success. Continuity has not happened in basketball save for when Mike Dement succeeded Tom Miller. That makes the case for Jon Jacques IMO.Of course Dave Archer was promoted from Austin's staff but football was not successful under Austin or Archer.

Unless the Ivy embraces some type of NIL -- of course, I'm not holding my breath -- what Ivy basketball has built up since Princeton lost to Georgetown by one point as a 16 in 1989 will be flushed down the toilet.
