Too close for comfort, Patriots survive JMU

If I told you the statistics before the outcome of this game, you would have never believed the Patriots survived this win at home. In the 2nd half James Madison shot 69.6% from the field while Mason only collected five rebounds after halftime. The Patriots lately, numbers aside, have just found a way to get themselves into winning situations late in the game. The Dukes did turnover the ball 20 times and Mason scored off them often. Cam Long was the hero again in this one as he scored 23 points including the team's last 11 to close out the game. Long's big day was needed as starters Andre Cornelius, Ryan Pearson, and Mike Morrison struggled from the field. In their absence we saw Louis Birdsong and Johnny Williams pick up the slack, combining for 17 points and 3 blocked shots.

Although Mason got a little careless at the end of this one it's tough to be disappointed with how they manage to keep coming out of these games with a victory. How many times are gonna let a team shot nearly 70% in a half and come out of it with a victory? This team has found their identity and some might think that identity is relying a bit too much on Cam Long but that's just fine with me. Long has grown into the role of shooting guard/wing and as a result is scoring 20 or more points a game in the team's past five. Some of the younger guys on this team are often going to have off nights, even KRAM, but if Long, Tate, and Birdsong keep having consistent games like this, it's going to be an interesting next couple of weeks.

Roster update from WaPo:

"Freshman guard Rashad Whack (2.2-point average) slipped in the shower and dislocated his left shoulder Friday. He was scheduled to be evaluated this weekend. . . . Freshman forward Paris Bennett (three games) underwent wrist surgery and will miss the rest of the season."

News and Notes: Afternoon Edition

In 2008, Cornell clinched the Ivy title in Ithaca with a win over Harvard. A mad court storm ensued while the Harvard players ran for the lockers. How will it end tonight?

Below, some news and notes for Saturday afternoon.

• CollegeInsider.com tweets, "MUST SEE GAME: Harvard (14-3) at Cornell (17-3). Nothing less than 1st place in the Ivy League is on the line tonight."

• The Cornell Daily Sun tweets, "Jeremy Lin & the Harvard Crimson come to town tonight, in a game that many analysts agree could end up determining this year's Ivy champ."

• In previewing tonight's game, CollegeHoopsNet.com writes, "the Game of the Year (so far) in the Ivy League with Harvard taking on Cornell in what should be an entertaining affair. Both took care of inferior opponents on Friday night and in Jeremy Lin (Harvard) and Ryan Wittman (Cornell), two of the better players you don't see on ESPN every night will be on display. But don't forget about the Big Red's seven-footer, Jeff Foote, who can score and rebound inside to relieve some of the pressure on Wittman and Louis Dale on the perimeter. These are the two best offensive and defensive teams in the Ivy League; it's not even close when looking at the numbers. The winner, which will likely be decided by which team controls the boards (Harvard leads the league in rebounding margin), will assume early control of the title race."

The Teams. The Task
Much has been made of Saturday’s game with Cornell’s vaunted talent and veteran club against a young, upstart Harvard team but with three undefeated Ivy teams, the “14-game tournament” is still plenty young.

Cornell enters the weekend as one of the hottest teams in the country, having won five straight and 15 of its last 16 with its lone loss at then-No. 1 Kansas. The Big Red boasts a 17-game home conference winning streak with its last loss coming to Harvard three years ago.

Cornell was unanimously picked to three-peat as conference champions. The Big Red returns all five starters, eight seniors, three All-Ivy selections, the Ivy Rookie and Defensive Players of the Year, the last two league players of the year and two Division I transfers (six transfers in all) from a team that repeated as League champions a year ago.

Harvard, which was picked to finish fourth in the preseason polls, has already matched its win total from last season and features eight underclassmen from its regular 10-player rotation.

The Book
Washington Post sports writer Kathy Orton, who authored “Outside the Limelight: Basketball in the Ivy League” will be at Newman Arena speaking about her book before the game.

The Leaders
Harvard and Cornell rank first and second in the following team categories: scoring offense (H 1), scoring margin (H 1), free throw pct. (H 1), field goal pct. (H 1), field goal pct. defense (H 1), rebounding offense (C 1), rebounding margin (H 1), assists (H 1), and defensive rebounds (H 1).

Strength vs. Strength
Cornell enters the game as one of the nation’s top two 3-point shooting teams with Cornell leading the Ivy at nearly 52 percent while making 9.5 triples per game. Harvard enters play as the Ivy’s leading 3-point defensive team (fifth nationally) at under 29 percent allowed.

Harvard faced the current national leader in 3-pointers, William & Mary, winning the meeting back in November.

The Series
Cornell leads the all-time series, 88-68 with the teams having split the last six meetings. Each of the past six games have had their share of dramatics. Cornell swept the series in 2007-08, stealing a last second victory at Harvard before clinching the league title at home in the next to last week of the season. Last year it was Harvard taking a one-point victory from the Big Red. Harvard’s last win at Cornell came back in 200607 with an 85-79 win to cap a season sweep.

Last Year’s Meetings
Last season saw the teams split with each winning on its home court - Cornell handily at Newman Arena and Harvard in a thriller at Lavietes Pavilion.

In the last meeting, Harvard made a final defensive stand to win, 71-70. On the game’s final possession, Cornell’s Louis Dale dribbled to the right side of basket and rose up for the potential game-winning jumper. Keith Wright blocked the shot and came down with the rebound as time expired.

The second half was a showcase of two of the Ivy League’s top three scorers in Jeremy Lin and Ryan Wittman. Lin scored 14 of his points and Wittman had 16, including 13 during a four-minute stretch. Lin and Drew Housman ’10 scored 20 points each while Wright finished with 11 points and eight rebounds.

Cornell’s Last Time Out
Cornell crushed Dartmouth 71-37 on Friday night. Max Groebe led all scorers with 15 points while Louis Dale and Ryan Wittman both had double figures.

If I Can make It There, I’ll make It Anywhere
Harvard will be going for its first Ivy weekend road sweep in the state of New York since 1999-2000 with wins at Columbia and Cornell in that order.

Harvard Coach Tommy Amaker
Tommy Amaker (Duke '87) begins his third season as head coach of the Harvard men's basketball team. He registered his 200th career coaching victory Nov. 13 in the 2009-10 season opener at Holy Cross.

He brings a 213-178 career head coaching record into the game, including a 109-83 record at Michigan at a 68-55 record at Seton Hall.

Amaker came to Harvard after a six year stint as Michigan's head coach. Inheriting a program that was reeling from institutional and NCAA sanctions, he led the Wolverines to the postseason three times, winning the 2004 NIT title, reaching the championship game of the 2006 NIT, and advancing to the second round of the 2007 tournament. The 2006-07 season was Michigan's second straight 20-win campaign and its third in four years. The Wolverines were ranked as high as No. 20 in the nation during the 2005-06 season.


Hot Shots
Friday’s win saw Harvard shoot 50 percent for the game for the ninth time this season. The Crimson is 9-0 when reaching that lofty mark. Against Columbia, Harvard hit on 50 percent of all its shots in both halves, including 3-pointers.

First Half, Second Half
Jeremy Lin scored 13 first half points and Brandyn Curry 13 second half points in a win at Columbia on 1/29. The 13 points represent a career-high for Curry.

Fresh Faces
Four of Harvard’s freshmen have scored in double figures this season:

Christian Webster -7
Kyle Casey - 5
Dee Giger - 4
Brandyn Curry - 1

One For The Road
Prior to its 74-45 win at Columbia this season, Harvard’s last Ivy road win on a Friday night during travel weekends was March 2, 2007 at Cornell (85-79).

Harvard’s last 20-point road victory on an Ivy travel weekend came on Feb. 27, 1999 at Yale (81-58).

Harvard’s last 20-point road victory on a Friday night of an Ivy travel weekend came on Feb. 16, 1996 at Columbia (71-44). The team won the next night at Cornell, 65-60.

The Last Time
Harvard has not started 4-0 in Ivy League play since going 5-0 to start the 1990-91 campaign which included a road sweep of Columbia and Cornell. It also marks the last time the team started 3-0.

Notes from Brian Delaney of the Ithaca Journal and Slope Video Highlights from Friday's Dartmouth Game

Around the Rim with Brian Delaney and the Ithaca Journal
Trivia: The last time Cornell trailed...

With some items that didn't make it into the game story, let's recap further Cornell's 71-37 win over Dartmouth last night. Read the game story here. Photo gallery here.

*Can you recall the last time Cornell trailed? Would the answer, "the first half of the South Dakota game" surprise you? Cornell's last deficit was 31-30 against SD in Vermillion on Jan. 8. Louis Dale's layup with 1:43 left in the first half gave Cornell a 32-31 lead it did not relinquish. Since then, Clarkson, Columbia (twice) and Dartmouth have failed to take a lead against Cornell at any point. The streak is up to, by my (sometimes bad) math, 181 minutes and 43 seconds. Of that amount, Cornell has actually been leading for 178:25.

*The shooting was pretty bad on both sides of the ball in the first half, but for two completely different reasons. Cornell defended Dartmouth into the ground, then worked the ball over the court for quality looks nearly every possession. Shots just didn't fall. For instance Max Groebe, who ended up leading Cornell with 15 points (5-for-7 shooting, 4-for-6 from 3), had two wide open 3's rim in and out on some early possessions. Jon Jaques also had one down and out. 12 of Cornell's first 16 shots were 3's, and they missed 11 of 16 overall in the first half. Donahue acknowledged his shooters may have been too wide open at times against Dartmouth's sagging D.

*The defensive dagger. Wittman hit a 3 to make it 35-17, forcing Mark Graupe into a timeout with 16:41 left. Out of the TO, Dartmouth inbounded to Ronnie Dixon a few steps past the 3-point line. Geoff Reeves and Wittman pressured him almost 10 feet back into a back-court violation. Then Foote hit Jaques on a cut down the lane for a 37-17 lead.

*Cornell committed 17 turnovers. Entirely too much, although that number ballooned a bit in the latter stages.

*Adam Wire's two-play sequence. It started with a reverse layup on a good interior pass from Coury. At the other end, he came from the backside of Mbiyimoh Ghogomu to force a steal. While falling to the ground around halfcourt, he flipped the ball around his body to Groebe leading the break. He got fouled and made 1-2 FT's.

*Ghogomu's one-handed flush over Reeves in the second half. Good bounce from the freshman.

* I think the only group of people caught looking ahead last night was the audience. The crowd was announced as over 3,800. For the exception of a group of like 25-30 students sitting directly behind me (an entertaining group), it was the quietest 3,800 I can remember. Felt like a movie theatre at times. Sure that'll change tonight though.

*Dartmouth's first five possessions went turnover, turnover, turnover, airball, airball. Cornell scored 32 points off 16 Dartmouth turnovers.

*Jaques took a first-half charge against Herve Kouna (remember him from last year?). Jaques took two charges at Columbia that, among other things, prompted Steve Donahue this week to say Jaques is as good a defender as Cornell has right now. Who saw that three months ago?

*Miles Asafo-Adjei's speed in the open court. Who couldn't notice that? He's by far the fastest player in space for Cornell, he's a terrific defender, he works his tail off and he's very bright. A lack of a jump shot may limit his minutes down the road though. Still, in short spurts he'll be electric. If he can develop and outside shot, he'll turn into a very good find.

*Cornell's team rebounding. This will be key tonight against Harvard. Fourteen different players grabbed a board, with Jaques' five a team high.

News and Notes: Newman Nation Readies for Harvard (updated 10:36 a.m.)

Below, some news and notes for Saturday...

• The Philadelphia Inquirer is one of the latest media outlets to label Harvard at Cornell one of the best national games of the weekend. The Inquirer notes, "Harvard at Cornell, 7 p.m.: The two Ivy League heavyweights square off for the first time this season."

• StormingTheFloor writes, "Harvard and Cornell now face each other for the first time this season as undefeated challengers for the Ivy title. Since nobody seems to have acted on my suggestion that PBS sign an exclusive contract to televise the Ivy, nobody will see this epic game unless they travel to Cornell today (in the snow)."

• ESPN's Fran Frachilla was asked during a chat session, "Why isn't the Cornell and Harvard game televised on ESPN360? It's probably the most intriguing storyline of the weekend." Fraschilla responded, "I couldn't agree with you more and I'm as disappointed as you are. Unfortunately the Ivy League's lack of emphases on college sports (not that it's a bad thing) certainly hurts basketball junkies like you and me. I'm going to miss not being able to see guys like Jeremy Lin and Ryan Wittman."

• Jameson Flemming of the Bleacher Report tweets, "Harvard and Cornell ... should be a dandy."

• The Penn Athletics Department tweets, "Kyle Whelliston from midmajority.com slept in The Palestra Wed night and lived to tell about it." We note that the Penn Basketball team also has slept in the Palestra the last few years too. Not sure if they want to live to tell about it though.
  

• Former Cornell team manager (and Cornell alum) and current Harvard assistant, Yanni Hufnagel tweets, "And so now here we are. On the way to Ithaca, for a night I dreamed about having meaning when I was offered this job by Coach Amaker June." He further tweets, "People have asked me about my emotions heading back 2 Cornell... my heart is with Harvard. This is my life. I will fight for H, 15 STRONG." Oh Yanni, how can you turn on your Alma Mater? Makes us think of this guy (click here).

• Cornell's Jon Jaques asks Newman Nation in his tweet, "Everyone get loud tonight!"

• MSG.com joins CNNSI.com's Seth Davis in predicting a Cornell victory. But MSG picks a rather large margin of victory. MSG writes:

HARVARD AT CORNELL

It's rare to see an Ivy League game have this type of sizzle. For the first time in three years, the Big Red has a serious challenger to their conference supremacy.

Harvard is well coached by Tommy Amaker and has a real special player in guard Jeremy Lin. However, Steve Donahue's team is confident playing at home, and they also have a 7-footer in Jeff Foote anchoring the middle.

With no answer for Foote, I see the beat marching on for Cornell.

Prediction: Cornell 80, Harvard 68

• The New York Post writes:

Although Cornell and Harvard have elevated their programs to possible at-large consideration for the NCAA Tournament, Columbia lingers in the second tier...
The Crimson visit Cornell tonight for a game that will determine who gets pole position in the title race in the Ancient Eight, which is the lone Division I conference that does not have a league tournament. Cornell (17-3, 3-0), which throttled Columbia 74-53 and 77-51 in an Ivy-opening home-and-home series and pasted visiting Dartmouth 71-37 last night, beat St. John's at the Garden earlier this season and has won the past two Ivy titles. "We're prepared for an outstanding team," Harvard coach Tommy Amaker said. "We recognize that they're one of the best teams in the country. Whatever happens, it's still a long horse race."

• Boston.com writes:

...tonight’s [Harvard] showdown at Cornell...has been hyped as the biggest Ivy League game in decades. The attention has expanded throughout the college basketball scene. The Crimson could win their first Ivy League title and earn its second NCAA bid, and there is speculation that an Ivy team could warrant an at-large bid. Now Harvard gets to see how it handles Cornell (17-3, 3-0).The Crimson will have to contain Ivy Player of the Year candidate Ryan Wittman and 7-footer Jeff Foote, who should provide a challenging matchup for 6-8 forward Keith Wright.Harvard will also have to maintain the steady demeanor that has been its hallmark.“We recognize they’re one of the better teams in the country,’’ Amaker said. “We really have a lot of respect for what they’ve been able to accomplish the last two years and what they’ve done this season and how difficult it’s going to be on the road, in their environment.

• Cornell RPI Watch: The RPI (Rating Percentage Index) is a measure of strength of schedule and how a team does against that schedule. It does not consider the margin of victory, but only whether or not a team won and where the game was played (home/away/neutral court). The formula is 25% team winning percentage (WP), 50% opponents' average winning percentage (OWP), and 25% opponents' opponents' average winning percentage (OOWP). (See: CollegeRPI.com for a further explanation of the formula.) The RPI may be the most influential factor in NCAA Tournament seeding. Cornell's (17-3) RPI rank as of January 30 is No. 45 out of 347 total Division I teams.
  

Neither the Ken Pomeroy or Jeff Sagarin rankings are used by the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee. Nevertheless, the KenPom.com site ranks Cornell No. 56 in the nation, while the Sagarin rankings have Cornell at No. 39. Both sites are predominantly used by fans and the media.
