Halftime: Cornell 24, Princeton 21

Neither team could score over the last minute plus. Princeton held for the last shot, but Maddox's floater was blocked. Some things to think about: Princeton did an okay job of holding down the Big Red's explosive offense. Ryan Wittman has just six points on 2 of 5 shooting, and he hasn't hit any three-pointers, which are a big part of his offensive arsenal. Cornell still shot 50%, however. Jeff Foote was very effective for them - 3 of 3. On offense, Princeton shot just 38%. I don't think there's any way they can win this game without scoring more than 21 points in the second half. It will be interesting to see what the Tigers try to do with Foote in the second half - he only logged 9 minutes in the first due to foul trouble.
