As the regular season draws to a close, here are the scenarios in which the Red clinches a spot in the postseason Ivy League tournament.
“We’re turning a corner where all the guys are producing, not just Matt and Stone. Tonight [the team] did everything offensively and defensively as well.”
Follow along as the Red defends home court against the Bears.
As the final two seconds waned, Steve Julian’s three-point attempt to win the game for the Red rimmed out.
“It’s tough in the Ivy League and everyone’s legs were tired, but Penn also had a long bus ride and we were just outplayed unfortunately.”
Some late-game heroics and a resilient overtime effort gave the Cornell men’s basketball team its largest comeback in over a century on Friday.
“We need to be able to put our foot down on Friday. On Saturday, we are going to play one of the top teams in the Ivy League, and that is going to really be a statement game for us.”
“We did compete hard [and] everyone was locked in on defense [but] we just weren’t able to get across the finish line.”
The squad led by 21 at one point, and finished the entire second half without letting the Bears cut the lead to single digits.
With only eight league games until the Ivy League tournament, the Red will look to make up ground in the conference standings by doing something it has struggled to do thus far: win on the road.
