You have to feel the sensations and interpret them as best you can." That awkward...
While the Crimson have developed into a formidable offensive force, the team ranks in the bottom half of the league in scoring defense (66.2 ppg allowed), field goal percentage defense (.442) and three-point field goal percentage defense (.364). That last figure is particularly relevant in regards to the match up on Saturday with Cornell, whose freshman guard Adam Gore is shooting a league-best 46% from behind the arc and leads the Big Red with 13.1 points a game...
