In response to HARVARDDADGRAD
I must be the lone member of the Terrence McBride fan club. For my money, he's a solid combo guard who defends well, has a nice handle, a quick first step and a good basketball IQ. His biggest issue is that he's not a good three point shooter and his range tops out at the mid-level J (which is a bad shot in today's game). He's not a star, but he's been Cornell's second-best player over the season and I have no issue with him getting 30 minutes a game, especially considering the rest of the roster.
That said, I am fully on board for more time for Dolan. And Filien. And Jones if he ever gets healthy.
I missed last night's game (tuned in at halftime, saw the score, watched hockey instead) but let's not get too carried away with Noah Gear having 8 good minutes in garbage time. Give him credit for still playing hard, but 12 of Gear's points came in the last 5:21 and Noll had 7 points and 3 assists (feeding Gear) during the same stretch. It would be like making Riley Voss a starter because he owned our D3 opponents. No one would be foolish enough to do that.
And if a walk-on who hasn't played in three years really is one of Cornell's best guards, Earl may want to consider insurance sales as a career option.
