Great win with more superior defense on tap--Stephens really held Morgan down, with some team help. Cornell shot in the low thirties, not too many treys, fortunately sucked at the FT line. Too many ORs given up for comfort, not enough TOs forced (until overtime), but good enough in this case.

The team actually committed a ton of turnovers in the first half with JL handling the ball most of the time. Morales had three bad TOs of his own in a short span of time in the second half, but more than made up for it with his press-breaking, charge-drawing, ball-hawking, FT-shooting bravura. Llewelyn is still not helping very much to make the offense go, but his D is good now and he is excellent at controlling the ball--the team needs him back, especially because I feel like he's going to start hitting some shots.

Huge games from RA and Schweiger (we knew he had it in him). Stephen was a bit too hesitant to let fly from three but was generally effective and sensible in his usage--not forcing things too much but asserting himself as needed or when he had the edge. Much was not inspiring but played OK defense, and Desrosiers was very active if only moderately productive.

The officiating was not consistent and through my orange-and-black lenses seemed to be overall favoring Cornell. The no-call at the end of regulation was the most flashy, but Warren went over a Tiger's back and got a call in the first half, there were some weird calls on who last touched balls that seemed clearly off the Big Red, etc.

If this team could just get back some of its three-point shooting mojo to go with its improved D and tough post play, then they would be really hard to beat.
