Second week in a row that Cornell needs a late run to win the game; this time an 11-0 run over the last four minutes to win 73-68. It is less satisfying that it was needed to beat Lafayette at home, than Delaware on the road, but wins are better than the alternative.
Manon, Dolan and Williams each had 12 to lead Cornell. Filien had his best game of the season with 4 boards and two big FTs late. He even knocked down a three.
Trips to Miami and SU next.

Very curious about what they look like vs. Miami. The results have been there for Big Red thus far. I barely noticed they were 7-1 with only a close loss on the road to BC.
LET'S go BRU-no (duh. nuh. nuh-nuh-nuh) |

I am too, Bruno, as Miami is easily the best team on the schedule. The Big Red's wins are, well, they're wins at least. Two D3 games, four wins over KenPom 300-ish opponents, and the win at Delaware. And BC has lost to Maine and Tarleton St.; they would be fighting to stay out of the ACC cellar but for the dumpster fire in Louisville.
A replay of last year's 8-1 team rolling into Blacksburg and losing by 33 is very possible. I like this team, but this is a big jump in class in opponents.
