Shapiro is the ONE to watch but can't afford to stumble coming out-of-the-gate at NCAA tourney, and Vito, last seasons' sensation, still has time to get his-shit-together,.. but right now Vito's NOT Vito!Oracle wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 9:23 am With the re-emergence of Meyer Shapiro, and reappearance of Vito Arujau, Cornell is poised to make another run at a trophy. If all their realistic point scorers hold serve, they will almost certainly out-score Iowa.
Arujau, Shapiro, Ramirez, Foca, Cardenas look like locks to place -- best case: 3 finalists. It's a really good tournament team.
Ungar maybe fading, Cornella and Fernandes on the cusp, 149 soft and 174 softer.
The Shapiro piece is what catapults them. He went from top 15 to potential finalist.
Cornell should be in-the-hunt for a trophy but still find them somewhat soft/fragile compared to the grittiness of an Iowa, and strong Oklahoma State, Iowa State, and Missouri "tournament" teams that will probably all have a couple finalists.
