ITHACA, N.Y. -- Sophomore Stone Gettings scored a career-high 28 points, but Yale made all the plays over the final 10 minutes and earned a 78-71 victory over Cornell on Sunday afternoon at Newman Arena. The contest picked up 89 seconds into the first half after being suspended due to a power outage on Saturday night.

Gettings blew by his previous high of 23 points and added eight rebounds and four steals. Gettings connected on 10-of-18 shots from the floor and had 16 of his points in a first half that ended knotted at 36-36. 

Against a big and tough Yale frontcourt, Gettings and freshman Josh Warren (12 points, seven rebounds) more than held their own. In all, the Big Red held a 36-29 rebounding edge against the Ancient Eight's best rebounding team. Sophomore Matt Morgan rounded out three Cornell scorers in double figures with 11 points along with five rebounds and three assists. Morgan's three-point play with 1:57 remaining brought the home team within one (70-69), but Alex Copeland and Anthony Dallier hit consecutive shots for the Bulldogs and Yale hit all four free throws in the final 23 seconds to take hoem the victory.

Freshmen Miye Oni (19 points, eight rebounds, four assists, three steals) and Jordan Bruner (15 points, eight rebounds) led four double figure scorers for the Bulldogs. Dallier (11 points, four rebounds, three assists, three steals) and Sam Downey (10 points) were also in double figures. Yale shot 47 percent from the floor and turned the ball over just 11 times while outscoring the Big Red 24-11 off turnovers. The Bulldogs limited Cornell to 37 percent shooting after halftime and to just 17 percent (4-of-24) from beyond the 3-point arc for the game.

Sunday's game actually started Saturday night, but a massive power outage left Newman Arena dark. The lights returned for 40 minutes, enough for both teams to warm up and play for 89 seconds before going out again. It is the second Division I game to be suspended this year, joining an Idaho State-Weber State contest that was made up 18 days after beginning on Jan. 7.

Cornell led by as many as seven points (31-24) after entering the day down 2-0. Consecutive baskets by Warren and a 3-pointer by Gettings extended the lead with just under five minutes left in the first half, but the Bulldogs tied it heading into the break at 36-36 after Bruner tipped in a Downey miss with 12 seconds left in the half.

The Big Red shot 52 percent from the floor in the first half, but was just 1-of-11 from 3-point range (nine percent). Yale, meanwhile, was perfect in nine free throw attempts to make up the difference.

It was a back-and-forth affair for the first eight minutes of thesecond half before Yale took the lead for good on a pair of Oni free throws with 11:35 remaining. Cornell twice got within a point ((65-64 and 70-69), but both times used a min-spurt that push the edge back to two possessions.

Morgan scooped up a shot through traffic with 25 seconds remaining to bring Cornell within three (74-71), but the Bulldogs hit four late free throws to seal the victory.
