Fiegen’s Buzzer Beater Lifts Men’s Basketball to 2-0
|
Sophomore guard Jake Fiegen emerged as the hero in Friday night’s exhilarating 88-86 victory, sinking a clutch three-pointer with just 0.8 seconds remaining on the clock.
This 2024-2025 men’s basketball schedule features several opponents that may be unfamiliar to Cornell fans, including Samford University. Coming from Homewood, Alabama, the Bulldogs traveled east to face off against the Red for the first time, marking the Red’s first Division-I game of the season. The Bulldogs, preseason favorites to win the Southern Conference, faced off against a Cornell squad ranked fourth in the Ivy League preseason standings. Before the game, Athletic Director Nicki Moore and the team unveiled the 2024 NCAA National Invitation Tournament banner, which is now displayed in the rafters of Newman Arena. The team also debuted new black uniforms, an alternate color recently adopted by several Cornell teams.
The Red’s starting lineup featured senior guard Nazir Williams, junior forward AK Okereke, senior forward Guy Ragland Jr., junior guard Cooper Noard and Fiegen. Samford won the opening tipoff and quickly got on the scoreboard.
