@midmajority Game Tweets

17:32 We are so early to this Cornell-Harvard game that we can pay a visit to the World's Classiest Dunkin Donuts. http://img.ly/2Tjx
17:33 Airball's Revenge. RT @midmajority360: Indiana State 69 Creighton 83 | INST 12-10 (7-4) CREI 14-9 (6-5) | http://tmm7.me/9q3 #MVC
17:51 Game No. 7-044: Cornell at Harvard. The Big Red band is here, and they still have "Dr. Worm" in the repertoire. See? Not much has changed.
17:53 There's really no way to answer TMBG other than a slow, slinky version of "Party in the U.S.A." Ivy bands: (ancient) eight layers of irony.
17:56 RT @johngutke: @midmajority you mean to tell me the Big Red pep band plays TMBG? That's awesome.
17:58 Wait, what? RT @midmajority360: Bucknell 70 Army 90 | BUCK 15-8 (6-1) ARMY 11-11 (3-4) | http://tmm7.me/9q7 #Patriot
17:58 RT @maxwasserman: @midmajority Well, when your school's fight song is "Give My Regards to Broadway", you tend to extend your repertoire outside the norm.
17:59 OK, if you're a Cornell fan in denial, hold your hand over the next tweet. This is ugly.
18:00 The Big Red is/are 4-13, 0-3 in the Ivy, streak of L3. Harvard is 14-3 (3-0), and playing at home in front of a full house. #youareinformed
18:02 RT @maxwasserman: @midmajority Cornell is only Ivy w/ a marching band, all others are scramble bands. Marching bands:crazy::Scramble bands:bloody lunatics
18:03 Quick correction: Section 10 is half-empty. But this is a Red-off that might get a little bloody. #sportswriting
18:04 So to keep this on the positive, it's Ivy Band Night! We'll live tweet the selections of both bands as they vie for Lavietes supremacy!
18:05 In keeping with Ivy laundry tradition, Harvard is in black tonight, and Cornell is in white.
18:06 Sophhh Errick Peck opens scoring for Cornell with a #superhoop. We are underway.
18:08 But 6-7 Crimson sophhh Kyle Casey continues his trend of making big #omgdunx! Boom, bam, cram-jam! 4-3 HARV.
18:10 20W seasons aren't impressive... unless you get 20W before Groundhog Day. RT @midmajority360 Cle State 81 Loyola (Ill.) 70 | CLST 20-3 (9-2)
18:11 15:33 1H, Harvard up 12-3. Matt Brown with a #superhoop; Keith Wright and Kyle Casey going to work down low.
18:14 #schoold RT @ksvoboda: @midmajority Curry with superhoop. Gotta be right on who the lefty is
18:16 At 13:40, Cornell fights back to 13-10. Two sections full of visiting fans cheering for every basket/steal/positive sign.
18:17 If you are sticking with the Cornell Big Red this year, you are our kind of people.
18:19 But a 6-7 dude named Jeff Georgatos just drained a #superhoop with a shot that looked like something out of jai-alai. 16-12, end of 1st Q.
18:22 OK, this band live tweet thing is proving difficult. I think the Cornell band just busted out an Ennio Morricone spaghetti western theme.
18:23 RT @ksvoboda: @midmajority you can't teach rotation like that but at Harvard the course would be called abnormal spin
18:24 No, really, Harvard is getting any outside shot they want. 5-for-9 from #superhoop range, 22-14 Crimson at 8:39.
18:25 Cornell is basically scared poopless of the Casey-Wright duo down low, and the outside shooters are punishing them for it. Hard times.
18:29 Cornell, to their credit, is shooting 50%. But Harvard has had four extra possessions and one single turnover in 14 minutes. 28-20 HARV.
18:30 RT @RossDellenger: Now this is a hoops atmosphere: Packed house, jams blaring, students with body paint. We're live at AAC for Valley-JSU hoops.
18:31 From the TV games we've watched and general on-scene tweeting, game atmosphere in the SWAC has taken a huge leap forward this year.
18:33 #segue And at Harvard too! Lavietes now full after late arrivals. Even though there's a hockey game a block away! 30-22 Crimson, 4:39 1H.
18:36 Keith Wright with an extendo-arm layup through traffic. That's not a regular everyday weapon in the Ivy. 32-27 Harvard at 3:01 1H.
18:37 Cornell's band is up at MTO4. I never crossed my mind that "On Holiday" would be a pep band staple when it first came out.
18:40 Having seen Harvard and Princeton now (twice each), I think the Crimson are by far the superior team. So there's one opinion.
18:42 Last night it was 6-7 so. Kyle Casey with a huge game, tonight it's 6-8 jr. Keith Wright. 10 pts, 6 reb as the first half comes to a close.
18:46 Laurent Rivard hits a #superhoop at the HT buzzer (Harvard's 8th), and it's a 41-31 halftime advantage for the Crimson.
18:47 Did I mention that Harvard has the best kids' halftime basketball games? It's true.
18:52 Haven't heard too many pep band versions of "Dynamite" yet (will in March, I'm sure), but Harvard kills it.
18:54 Tigers: 10 total rebounds. Really. RT @midmajority360: Towson 57 Old Dominion 80 | TOWS 4-17 (0-11) ODU 17-5 (8-3) | http://tmm7.me/9qs #CAA
18:57 But srsly, I feel terrible for Cornell, or any team that drops off this quickly. They don't even get a S16 victory lap. They just... vanish.
18:59 That's part of what sucks about the speed of Our Game, and formula sportswriting too. There's no stock narrative for Cornell 2010-11.
19:00 But anyway, we're back for a second half. 43-35, Harvard, one minute in.
19:02 Big Red putting on a burst of energy here, cutting a 10-point lead in half in just 70 seconds. 43-38 Crimson.
19:04 But just like that, Harvard goes up by 11 after 70 more seconds. Kyle Casey again.
19:06 Now it's a 9-0 run. Cornell defense resembling a funnel now, and all the liquid is flowing to the Harvard big guys.
19:11 Harvard's Keith Wright with 16 points (7-for-13) and 7 boards. Such a tough front line. 54-42 at 14:06 2H.
19:12 Cornell is still making half their shots, but Harvard has two turnovers. Twoooo.
19:15 However, all is not lost, Big Red fans!! Cornell has a 1-0 lead in teh hocky. First period.
19:15 RT @devyanks90: And free Raising Cane's for ODU fans! RT: @midmajority Tigers: 10 total rebounds. Really. RT @midmajority360: Towson 57 Old Dominion 80 #CAA
19:20 At the close of the third quarter, Cornell gets a :35 violation and a bad forced shot, and Harvard's up by 16. Biggest lead of the evening.
19:22 Must give some Tommy Points to Cornell's Errick Peck, who's been dipping, diving & weaving all night. 15 pts, 6-for-7. 6-6 soph; the future.
19:23 Eight minutes left, 63-44 Harvard. Crimson have picked up a third turnover.
19:27 Wright dubl-dubl, 18 & 10. Harvard now 68-46@ 6:32 2H. There are safe leads, and there's "I'll give everybody a free puppy if Cornell wins."
19:29 Tough game for Chris Wrobleski: 3-for-12, 7 points, and has been stuffed a few times. Deserves a better senior sendoff for what he's done.
19:30 Those are Tommy Hilfiger points. RT @HLNAdam: @midmajority Have you been authorized by MMHOFer Tommy Heinsohn to give away his points?
19:30 RT @brendanloy: We have a @midmajority-style #Robocalypse here at Magness Arena. The shot clock is off. #PANIC
19:31 70-50 Harvard with four minutes to go, and #peopleareleaving. Haven't heard a WTLT chant yet. Came with 7 mins left yesterday.
19:33 Never mind, here it comes. They're waiting for a stoppage.
19:37 Corrected! Forgot. RT @dartmouthsports: @midmajority Wroblewski just a junior, gets a chance for a better send-off next year.
19:38 I believe. http://twitvid.com/2ZIPG
19:39 76-55 Harvard with one minute left. Cornell's in-game FG percentage dipped 10 points in the last 5 minutes. Harvard will close with 4 TO's.
19:40 Standing ovation from the Harvard fans as the clock trickles out. Final score from Cambridge: Crimson 78, Rig Red 57.
19:45 And just like that, our Beantown split bill is done. Crazy day of basketball all across Hoops Nation, more to come! GNHN!
19:45 RT @midmajority360: Cornell 57 Harvard 78 | CORN 4-14 (0-4) HARV 15-3 (4-0) | http://tmm7.me/9qx #Ivy
19:50 That orbital shift you just experienced was from everybody running out of Lavietes and over to the hockey game.
