ITHACA, N.Y. –  After a slow start, the Cornell men's basketball team finished strong. A 22-2 run midway through the second half turned around the game and led the Big Red to a 76-61 victory on Monday evening at Newman Arena. Cornell evened its record at 1-1 in front of 2,216 fans, while the Bearcats slipped to 0-2.

Freshman Shonn Miller, who was named Ivy League co-Rookie of the Week earlier in the day, exploded for 19 points, eight rebounds, a steal and a block in 22 minutes off the bench to lead Cornell. Drew Ferry added 16 points, including five 3-pointers, while Eitan Chemerinski notched 13 points to set a new career high. Senior Chris Wroblewski had 12 points, eight assists and six rebounds. After shooting just 28 percent in the first half, Cornell shot a blistering 64 percent after the break. The Big Red forced 19 turnovers and made 10-of-22 shots from beyond the arc.

Robert Mansell scored a game-high 26 points for Binghamton and added seven rebounds, while Ben Dickinson netted 11 points and eight boards. The Bearcats held a 42-37 edge on the glass, but shot just 33 percent from the floor after halftime and just 24 percent from beyond the arc.

Cornell's 22-2 run over a span of 7:10 midway through the second half erased a five-point deficit. The decisive run was initially sparked by back-to-back layups from Chemerinski, who finished the game with 13 points, but from there it was all Miller, who scored 14 of his team-high 19 points during that time.

Cornell took a 28-26 lead into the half despite sloppy play by both teams. Neither team led by more than the five points the Big Red briefly led by after Wroblewski's 3-pointer with 4:32 left before the break to put the home team up 24-19. The second half wasa different story, as a cold-shooting Big Red team made shots to fuel its defense. After Ferry hit a 3-pointer to push the lead to five on the team's first possession of the half, Binghamton went on a 12-2 run to flip the score and go up five at 38-33.

Chemerinski immediately answered the bell with consecutive driving layups to cut the lead to one before Miller scored nine consecutive points highlighted by a thunderous tip-in dunk after a missed layup on the fastbreak. Within a minute, Wroblewski hit a pair of free throws, Miller hit another jumper and Gray scored inside off a feed from Wroblewski and the Bearcats' five-point lead was all of a sudden a 12-point bulge for the home team. The Big Red would lead by as many as 19 and would never see the lead cut back below 12.

Cornell will return to action when it hits the road to face Buffalo on Wednesday, Nov. 16 at 7 p.m.
