Yes, the Big Red now belong in the upper half of the Ivy League, at least for now. Cornell beat Canisius, 67-60, before dismissing Binghamton, 68-54, Saturday. Before Binghamton, the Big Red were shooting just 39.9 percent from field. So why do the Big Red already have four wins, more than last year? Defensive rebounding, a category in which Cornell ranks first in the conference, and the simultaneous emergence of Devin Cherry, Galal Cancer and Robert Hatter as dependable backcourt contributors. They are still hit or miss and can make low-percentage decisions offensively and are still “hit or miss” guards, but they’re more hit than miss lately. If sophomore forward David Onuorah can keep progressing on offense, the Big Red will be in decent shape indeed.
