The second largest Cotrell Court crowd of the season watched Colgate drop a 64-53 decision to visiting Cornell.
The Raiders failed to impress the crowd of 522 (no, we are not missing any digits) with an icy shooting performance that led to their fifth loss in the past six games.
How bad has Colgate been shooting the ball of late? Consider this: Against Cornell the Raiders shot 36.7 percent from the field. That is actually their best shooting effort in the past six games and more than 10 percent better than the 26.5 percent they shot against Santa Clara last time out.
The Raiders made only 6 field goals in the first half (on 23 tries -- 26.1 percent), falling behind 23-17. Colgate shot better in the second half, hitting 12 of 26 (46.2 percent). But they allowed Cornell to shoot 52.6 percent after the break, including 5 of 6 from three point range. For good measure, Cornell went 16 for 16 at the foul line in the half.
Colgate led early, holding a 9-2 lead at the 14:53 mark of the first half. Then came a drought of almost 9 minutes, during which Cornell took the lead for good with an 11-0 run.
Jon Simon led Colgate with 22 points. Kendall Chones added 10 points and grabbed 8 rebounds.
