- The Valley News writes, "Dartmouth’s men’s basketball team will play at Cornell at noon today. The Big Green was to have challenged the Big Red last night, but couldn’t leave the New York City area after Friday night’s victory at Columbia because of the weather. The team bus made it to Ithaca, N.Y. at 4 p.m. yesterday."
- In alumni news, on Saturday night, Louis Dale's (Cornell '10) KAOD team fell 77-66 to PAOK in Greek A1 action. KAOD (5-11) had 9 points and 3 rebounds from Dale. Also on Saturday night, Jeff Foote's (Cornell '10) No. 4 team in Europe, Zalgiris, rolled 86-71 over VEF Riga in the VTB League of Eastern Europe. Foote did not see any game action.
- The Crimson analyzes Harvard's struggles against Cornell on Friday night and writes:
After 30 minutes of dominant play at Newman Arena, it seemed that the Harvard men’s basketball team could finally take a breath.But once again, last minute inconsistency almost handed the Crimson its first Ivy League loss as their lead began to slip away down the stretch. Although Harvard (13-6, 5-0 Ivy) pulled out a 67-65 win over Cornell (10-12, 2-3), the game came down to a deep missed shot at the buzzer that would have put the Big Red on top.With Harvard up by 20 midway though the second half, two straight turnovers and a Jonah Travis foul handed the Big Red the momentum, and Cornell held Harvard to only one score in the next four minutes.The Crimson fought back and built its lead back up to 15 but found itself shut out as time wound down. With 4:21 on the clock, co-captain and guard Christian Webster scored Harvard’s final points of the night, and from then on it was all the Big Red.“We stopped working to get the ball,” Crimson coach Tommy Amaker said. “Whether that’s fatigue or whatever it is, we didn’t work to get open… They turned up the pressure and since then we were a little tentative.”As Harvard struggled to find the bottom of the net, Cornell—which shot 49 percent from the field on the night—made clutch baskets down the stretch. The Big Red scored on its next five possessions and pulled within two before time ran out.The Crimson was its own worst enemy down the stretch, committing seven turnovers in the last ten minutes and continuing its trend of playing into close games against Ivy League opponents. Of the five conference games Harvard has played this season, two have gone into overtime—most recently against Brown, when the Crimson blew a 22-point lead at Lavietes Pavilion last weekend.“It’s been something that’s happened to us, being a very young team,” Amaker said. “We came out [strong] at the beginning of the second half, and I thought we were growing up right there, but we reverted back.”THREE FOR ALLAfter posting a season-high 16 points against the Bears last weekend, Webster topped his record by one, sinking five threes and adding two points from the paint.Webster continued to show consistency from behind the arc when it mattered most, hitting back-to-back treys in the closing minutes of the second frame. The senior’s last minute heroics, which fueled Harvard’s comeback against Dartmouth in the team’s home opener, once again proved to be a deciding factor in the Crimson’s victory.Shooting 46 percent from behind the arc, Webster notched a new season high with the five treys and continued to solidify his reputation as one of Harvard’s strongest shooters.As Webster has heated up from behind the arc, the Crimson has relied less on its traditionally strong three point shooters—freshman point guard Siyani Chambers and junior co-captain and guard Laurent Rivard.Rivard—who leads the team with 2.8 made threes per game—went 1-3 from deep on Friday, while Chambers accounted for two of the team’s 10 threes.When asked if the shifting roles on the team were by design, Amaker explained that scouting is a large factor.“You can imagine how people are going to try to guard against Siyani and Laurent, so it’s going to be other guys who are going to be open for us,” Amaker said.PECKING ORDERComing into the second half, Cornell looked like a different team. In the opening period, the Big Red had just two scorers break five points—senior guard Johnathan Gray and freshman guard Nolan Cressler off the bench.With two points and 13 minutes of play at halftime, forward Errick Peck looked like a non-issue for Harvard.Less than three minutes into the second half, the senior hit a jump shot and never slowed down, notching 15 points before the final buzzer. Peck’s 17 points were a game high for Cornell and came mostly in the paint with only one three-pointer. The forward went 2-2 from the line.Peck carried the Big Red in the final minute of the game, grabbing an offensive board and hitting the jump shot that pulled Cornell within two. After Chambers missed the front end of a one-and-one on the other end, Peck rebounded the ball and gave the Big Red possession with 11 seconds to play.But the senior’s efforts would be in vain, as—with Cornell’s potential comeback riding on his shoulders—he missed the final shot of the game.“They did a great job,” Amaker said. “You have to give them a whole lot of credit for how their kids played and how much fight they brought to the last few minutes.”

- 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 RPI rank as of February 10 is No. 215 out of 344 total Division I teams. While neither the Ken Pomeroy or the Sagarin Rankings (USA Today) are used by the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee, the KenPom.com site ranks Cornell No. 242 in the nation, while the Sagarin Rankings (USA Today) have Cornell at No. 224. Both sites are predominantly used by fans and the media.
