The Bears and the Big Red played a couple of the League's most exciting games in 2021-22. Both were road wins decided by buzzer-beating putbacks.
It's a little hard to know what to expect from Brown in league games away from the Pizz. They have played only one conference road game, a one possession loss to Yale. Already with two home losses, the Bears could really use this W.
With Dan Friday's return, the Bears have kicked things up a notch. If Anya and Ndur are ready to go, they will combine with Anane to give Cornell's big men a hard time. A big game from Keno Lilly would also give the visitors a shot in the arm. People have groused about Brown's low FT%, but it does not seem to have directly cost them a game.
Cornell, as usual, will push the pace and use its long bench. If Brown is at full strength, they have enough depth to counter that strategy. This game should be close. A low score favors the Bears. A high score favors the Big Red.
