33-on-33 crime: Jimmy Whitt with huge dunk over Cornell's No. 33, Steven Julian (who, at 6-6, is 3 inches taller than Whitt).

4-4

Cornell just checked in backup forward Jimmy Boeheim, who ... grew up around the game.

6-6

Both teams shooting 50.0 percent from the floor — Cornell is 2/4, SMU is 3/6.

Might want to get more chances for Jimmy Whitt, who is 3/3 so far.

Whitt drives the right side of the lane, hits the brakes and offers a head-fake that got TWO Cornell players up in the air, and spun out of it to hit a short jumper.

As great as it is to see Whitt playing great I would love to have some more players step up.

Unselfish: Jarrey Foster had a good look, but hands off to Jahmar Young for easy lay-in.
