I was splitting time between the hockey and basketball games, but I saw the end of regulation plus all of both overtimes. CU was down 5 late in the first overtime but rallied on a bucket by Rourke (breakout game from him- 22 and 12, and he needs to keep that up if CU is to be a contender) and a huge three by collins largely because several yale defenders leaped out at toppert to deny him the three.
The second overtime featured more clutch hoops by collins, an inside score by Naeve (love that guy) and good free throw shooting down the stretch to ice it.
What a difference a year makes... last year CU lost close games at home to Y/B... a different story this year. Huge props to Coach Donahue and the team.
Judgement week approaches- hopefully CU can take the next step forward with a strong performance @ the Ps.

Great team effort. You gotta love Lenny Collins and his clutch shooting from outside. The only downside that I have seen from the Red is that have trouble stopping players who can create their own shots: Forte and Draughan for example. Cornell has some really nice depth coming off the bench and it helped them win this game in double o/t. They were not winning these close ones last year. A split on the upcoming Penn/Princeton weekend would be nice.

I agree on Rourke...sounds like an incredible game for him, and definitely necessary to take pressure off of Collins and get more inside threat, especially coming up next weekend...I really hate playing at Jadwin...
