Beyond The Box Score: Yale-Brown Weekend

2/24/2020 9:00:00 AM

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Here are some notes from this past weekend's home split with Yale (81-80 double overtime loss) and Brown (63-45 win).
 

Yale Game

  • In two games against Yale and it's league-leading scoring defense and field goal percentage defense unit, the Big Red shot .482 (53-of-110) overall and .444 (20-of-45) from 3-point range while scoring 75.5 points.
  • Junior Terrance McBride scored a career-high 27 points vs. Yale, including 17 in the two overtime sessions — a mark that would have matched his previous career high (reached three times).
  • McBride is the first Cornell player in school history to post a game with at least 27 points, five rebounds, five assists, a blocked shot and a steal.
  • Freshman Marcus Filien set career highs with eight points, five rebounds and three steals.
  • Junior Bryan Knapp posted personal bests of 13 points, four assists and two steals.
  • Knapp's 49 minutes played were the most by a Cornell player since Matt Morgan played 51 in a triple overtime win over Princeton in 2018.
  • Filien, Dolan, Knapp and McBride all played a career high in minutes played.
     

Brown Game

  • Bryan Knapp scored a career high 17 points, his second straight night raising that mark.
  • Marcus Filien had a career best of nine rebounds, the most by a Big Red freshman since David Onuorah twice reached that mark in the 2013-14 campaign.
  • Cornell's 6-of-9 effort from 3-point range is the first time the Big Red made two-third of its 3-point attempts with less than 10 shots beyond the arc since making 6-of-8 vs. Clarkson in December 1992.
  • Kobe Dickson joined teammate Josh Warren (14 points, 10 rebounds, five assist, two blocks vs. NJIT) as the 26th player in school history to have a game with at least 10 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two blocked shots in a contest.
  • The Big Red limited an Ivy League opponent to .259 shooting or worse for the first time since Harvard hit on .254 from the floor in a 57-49 victory at Newman Arena.
  • The .174 shooting from beyond the 3-point arc (4-of-23) for Brown was the worst by a Big Red opponent with at least 20 attempts since Lehigh connected on just 3-of-24 (.125) shots in an 81-79 Cornell victory in December of 2011.
