ILT Penn

40 minutes to get to the dance. Guard your yard, clean up the glass, and attack the paint, and I like our chances. No Roberts is a huge loss for Penn.

Levin seemed pretty hurt before he came back in and scored the game winner so who knows.

I’d be curious if we get similar refs to yesterdays games who allowed a lot of physicality to say the least. Would be good for us. Let’s go dancing for the 6th time in 7 years. (I count 2020)

It was going to be quite the challenge even with Roberts. Somehow they took down Harvard even without him, but that required a lot of bench players stepping up, scoring on occasion, and playing tremendous team D. They will need a repeat of that today, but it still might not be enough, since Power, Levine and Jones all got banged up yesterday. Jones turned his ankle very late in the game (which ironically led Levine to come back in and score the game winning hoop), didn’t look good at all.

I was really impressed with Jones late, would be a tough miss for depth. Is there any story behind why he chose Penn over BU/Yale?

Brathwaite also hurt his ankle. He has been electric for yale.

New bloods vs blue bloods. It is the third turning.
Should be quite a battle.

hope more than 45 people show up. appears the penn-harvard attendance yesterday was dire.

I know maybe 2 people from my “era” of yale basketball that are there and that includes the Townsend family. I doubt we get too much yale support

am on a text chain with all basketball alums from the 90s.
no one is going.
sure penn could get some fans given the excitement there.

This is why you wanted to change defense occasionally during ivy play

Power is unconscious and at 6’9 you can’t guard that on perimeter straight man

Took a little bit too long to put Simmons on Power. I’ll be having nightmares about TJ.

No idea why you don’t trap the ball screen

They are unprepared for it and slip wide open.

At his height he can find it. Big problem

Lucky to be down 2 with that performance on d.

Must make changes but haven’t practiced them live.

I still feel like Yale will win, but I hope the dude didn’t put too much dough on Yale covering the 25.

Fran will likely just go Levine/Power pick and roll a lot here. Need Mullin to be big defensively

Who was the Penn guy complaining about power on the Yale board?
.
Homer fans are fascinating
Reason he was a duke recruit​:joy: as I noted then

You are referencing a troll Princeton guy

Why not

The rotations are shot anyway
That is the issue

Not impressed with the game plan or contingency and remains only team I have watched or coached in high school, d 2, d 3 or d 1 who doesn’t switch defenses occasionally

Kids are too skilled now. You have too
Wld be death against a high major anyway

Absolutely.

Our out of bounds plays are garbage also

Penn gets looks
We dont

I’m guessing you’re not a homer fan?

Asking for a friend.

Me?

I guess not given I was defending tj power when he was labelled soft​:joy:
