In response to mountainred
Cornell is holding its own against Northeastern, down 39-36 at the half.
Morgan is leading all scorers with 14 points. He tweaked his ankle late in the first half, but he did not miss any time.
The Big Red is focusing much of its offense on the three pointer. They are 6-16 for 38%. Prior to this game, Northeastern had been holding its opponents to 30% from three.
Cornell has been shooting 43% of its attempts from three this year, but has taken 70% of today's shots from outside the arc. This season, they are top 50 in two point percentage (57%). Today, they are hitting twos at 85%, but have only taken 7 shots. If they start going cold from three, hopefully, they will quickly shift gears and take it to the rim since Northeastern doesn't have great two point defense (54% allowed).
