Oops
About Stanford 77, Cornell 53:

What was most disappointing to me is how undisciplined the team seemed compared to their game against Duke at Cameron Indoor. Stanford is not a team full of Gods, and we were making poor shot selection and trying to play a fast, major conference game of basketball. That's not us, and we'll not only never win that game, we'll never be competitive in it.

The country saw us play far below our potential for a good 30 out of 40 minutes. Stanford has big, fast defense, but we have weapons, and we weren't using them.

Maybe it takes two or three trips to the tournament before you figure out how not to be terrified. But while I was proud of the Big Red for making it there, and proud of them for not giving up, I was not happy with how they used the opportunity.

Anyway, now it's on to Albany and the ECAC men's hockey semifinal against Harvard tomorrow evening.

There is no better live spectator sport than Cornell hockey. And I've been to plenty of sporting events, pro and college, women's and men's. If only college hockey could translate to the pros; if only live hockey could translate to TV, then maybe the NHL could beat Rayven Simone's latest show's reruns.

Amen, sister.

We lost to Harvard last night, so although we beat Colgate in today's consolation game, our season's over; we didn't do enough out of conference to nearly qualify for an at-large to the NCAAs. Princeton beat Harvard tonight, though; so in a bizarre reversal, Cornell took the Ivies in basketball (both men's and women's!), and Princeton won the ECACs in men's hockey. Weeeeiiirrd.
