No point spread as of yet, but ESPN gives Cornell 57.4% chance of winning.
As GK so consistently points out, Cornell is Mitch’s nemesis.
We can only hope Davis and Stanton are recovered enough to make big contributions.
I like Clark starting, and getting the ball across the time line quickly.
On defense, we need to be very physical, even if we foul (except Davis).
We must protect this house!
Barn
Good that you remind us of all the barn burner games played there.
Oh there have been many…going both ways albeit mostly crushers for Penn since the Donahue era. I just never would consider that building to be a “house.”
The house that Brian Taylor Built!
Agaist Cornell, we need Abdulahi to stay out of foul trouble. He is a tough match for them, but
did not play much last time. We also need to make some shots.
Opens Cornell -3.5
Vegas doesn’t know jack about Ivy hoops. Try Cornell -13.5, especially if Stanton isn’t healthy.
Mitch simply can’t figure out the Big Red. I see no reason why that changes tomorrow. Lost 4 of the last 5 matchups, including 3 blowouts. The 1 win was a nailbiter with vastly superior talent (2024 home game with prime Lee and Pierce). Jon Jaques has taken Brian’s system to the next level.
Just bring some energy and lose with dignity. Saturday vs. Columbia will be a must-win after a loss tomorrow.
Remind me not to bring you to a bar fight.
He might be good enough at the Yankee Doodle Tap Room
Not if Ed Marinaro shows up.
If someone beats the stuffing out of me 4 out of 5 times, even when I was in better shape, I’m walking away from any future fights. That’s not cowardice. It’s common sense.
The players don’t have that luxury, so I hope their pride kicks in and they shock me today. But I’m not counting it.
Henderson just said Stanton is out for year with broken foot. Huge loss!
Next man up.
Oy!
Cornell cannot miss
Surprise, surprise. It’s a blowout by the first media timeout. This is so embarrassing. But totally expected.
Stanton’s injury is so unfortunate. For him and us. What a season from hell.
Missing multiple uncontested layups already. It’s insane how scared this team is against Cornell. Meanwhile, Mitch has this blank resigned look in his face.
Just embarrassing stuff.
Can’t blame Mitch for the 3-point bricks.
Blame him for Cornell’s 70%+ shooting then. Horrendous defense. Again.
No Ivy team struggles like this against Cornell. Only us.
Davis passing up three pointers and dribbling into heavy traffic.
