CORNELL @ MIAMI (-16) 7PM WED ACCNX & RSN also try BallySUN

[HurricanePhilly]

I like that we beat another team at their own game. It’s great when you do what you want and have a style but this team has won several different way already.

 

[IncaneInTheBrain]

Don't think we can overlook how much of a factor fatigue played. There's a reason Cornell was making hockey line changes; you can't play that style of game with basically a 7 man rotation.

Anyway, real mystery why we were losing all those loose balls in the second half

Looks like Walker may be reclaiming his "first big off the bench" role from Casey. When we get into ACC play now, Coach L is going with experience would be my bet.

Didn’t watch the game but it looks like a wild one

Joseph and Pack (and some others) were awful late. Winded maybe, but there was a well-rested Poplar on the bench. came in 1 play scored nicely, yanked. dont understand it. I dont buy this fatigue stuff.

Barn burner. Worth a replay.

Poplar had a rough game. A couple awful turnovers and Joseph played well aside from a few bad turnovers. Him, Wong, and Pack dribble too much breaking a press.

Wong got lucky late dribbled off his foot and went right into Nacho’s hands.

The guys were definitely gassed at the end.
Not trying to make excuses but Cornell wanted it more at the end. We got lucky and we learn. Onto the next one. Thank you Wong, Miller, Nacho, Joseph for your solid offense all game.

I believe Cornel plays the Cuse next, and it will be interesting to see the outcome of that game.

Gonna have games like this. Cornell is a weird team with lights out perimeter stuff but with a shifty, inconsistent inside game. Good to have this type of team to defend and learn from. Glad to get the W.

Miami is usually very careful with the ball.

Tonight they were a mess.

Miami had 16 turnovers to Cornell 7.

UM was lights out from 3, 13 for 26. 50%.

They turned it over a lot first half but not the second. We got some run outs in the first not as many in the second.

 

[Geddy Lee]

I think we defended the three well just beat back door all day and beat up on the defensive boards. The turnovers too were brutal. At least half of them were head scratching.

More big tests coming up. Would be great to split with Nc State and Virginia at the absolute worst.

 

[Pentagon Cane]

We’re lucky we played great basketball for 35 minutes tonight because that team would have blown us out if we didn’t play lights out offensively (Maryland type performance). Another terrible showing to close out a game.

This win will look good in March though. That team is winning the Ivy League. 9-1

100%. On to the NC State.

They only shot 33% from 3, we shot 50%.

They started clearing the lane and going to the basket with ease in the second half on their run.

Pure hustle and effort got them close at the end.

Yep I thought when we got up 21 it was going to turn into 25-30. Once it got to 10 I was getting nervous. Of course we shoot lights out at the line and Miller misses the front end. If he makes both it’s over.

Pack was getting beat all day on back doors.

The best Ivy League teams are always good. That's been verified over the decades by how well they play in the NCAAT. A lot of their players are now also finding themselves "in demand" via the Portal.

 

[Pitcher in the Rye]

Cornell had some shooters I’ll give them that.

 

[TriStarCane]

A lot to work on before the Pack come to town. Too many turnovers and o-rebounds. Someone said it looked like we punched ourselves out and that’s a good analogy. We have two winnable games at home before we host the Hoos. Time to sharpen up

 

[Geddy Lee]

People complaining about Coach L deciding to foul up 3 with seconds left need to take a moment realize he has over 700 wins as a coach. I think he knows a little bit more about basketball than all of us combined.

 

[Gables Canes]

**** poor defensive effort in a wild game, but a win is a win.
