At around the 6 minute mark the second unit and then some is on the floor for the Big Red. What a dominant performance from Cornell this afternoon. Relativly sloppy basketball for the past couple of minutes as Steve Donahue begins to reach deeper and deeper into his bench in a game that has been [...]

Wittman takes a seat at the 11 minute mark and that should be for the rest of the game – no sense in risking the health of your possible Ivy League player of the year in a thirty point basketball game. Errick Peck continuing to log the minutes in this one. Like most of his [...]

The all time leading assist man for the Big Red keeps at it.  Senior Guard, Louis Dale is just 3 assists shy of a grand total of 400 for his career.  Dale with 7 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds on the game so far.  Things always look bright for the Big Red when you have [...]

Jeff Reeves with a beautiful turnaround floater coming out of the media timeout, immediatly answered by an authoritative And-1 dunk from Asenso Ampin (free throw missed). Despite a few turnovers Cornell still easily in control of this one with seven minutes gone in the second half. Back-to-back threes from Dale and Wittman and excellent point [...]

Back to Newman Arena for the second half of Columbia-Cornell… When you play a first half the way the Big Red did this afternoon your main goal is to maintain that momentum into the second half out of the gates and not let your opponent think for a second that they have a chance to [...]

Utter dominance on all ends for the Big Red. Cornell left the floor for the locker room to a standing ovation and rightfully so…. Cornell has more points in the paint, points off turnovers, second chance points, fast break points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steels, three point field goals made, and less turnovers.  I don’t think [...]

Classes are still over a week away here at Cornell, but not having students around has not affected the attendance here at Newman Arena.  Seems like we’re filled to capacity on both sides of the court.  Impressive. JM

This may be the most active that I’ve seen two coaches during a college basketball game in a while.  Intense would be an understatement for the way Steve Donahue and Joe Jones are doing their jobs. Jones has his jacket on and buttoned while Donahue is sporting the no jacket look.  These coaches haven’t stopped [...]

So we all know about the shooting ability of Ryan Wittman but I just saw him go up trying to block an Agho lay-up.  He didn’t get the block, but Witt had to duck to avoid hitting his head on the padded part of the backboard.  Pretty impressive.  Didn’t know Witt could jump that high. [...]

Ok, so this needs to be known by all.  Those who were witness to this event should feel privileged…. Foote receives the ball on the foul line, fakes a hand-off to Jaques, the Columbia defender went for the fake leaving the lane wide open for the big fella.  Foote took one dribble and took off [...]
