Rockets forget that defense has been a thing lately, and are down 46-35 at half.

52-35 Cornell.

60-42 Cornell 14:50 left in the game.

67-49 12 min to go.

Wonder what the excuse is?

Honestly surprised that we’re doing this poorly against Cornell.

70-61. 8:00 to go.

Nice push that 4 minutes. See if we can keep it going...

72-61 Cornell. Toledo offensive foul, Ball back to Cornell.

72-63. 4:50 left.

Still 72-63 Cornell. 3:53 left. Currently in a timeout.

74-65. 3:00 to go.

Navigato hits a 3. 76-68.

Sanford for 3. 78-71.

Sanford for 3 again. Cornell with a 4 pt. lead. 1 minute + to go.

Rockets down 4. :52 seconds. Toledo calls a timeout.

78-74. 14 seconds to go.

Final. Cornell 80 - Toledo 77. Toledo once trailed by 19.

Huge disappointment.

In my eyes that negates the nice win over Oakland. Too bad we will be going 0 for 3 on this road trip. Oh well, that’s the fortunes of being a Rocket basketball fan.

I see we basically played 6 guys again. What is it with TK and these short benches the last few seasons? It’s pre-conference play, for crying out loud. Rose has barely seen the floor, and I’m not sure Gordon has at all...if guys aren’t fighting thru ball screens (as TK said in his post-game), then sit them down and give someone else a few minutes to show what they can do. I think things will get better when Willie Jackson becomes eligible, but I have a bad feeling TK still won’t go much deeper than 7. Going to burn some guys out before we reach the halfway point of MAC play.
