Monmouth -4.5
FloSports has no single game rate.
NBC Sports Philadelphia not available in my area.
Whitfield starting over Abdullahi; may be due to Abdullahi’s toe injury.
On the bright side, no more out-of-market/hard-to-watch games after tonight. Loyola-Chicago on USA and everything else on ESPN+ or ESPNU (@Penn).
Happy misses a dunk but then throws a nice pass to a cutting Stanton for 2
Tons of backcuts by the Tigers early
Clark misses a dunk. Tigers with 2 missed dunks in the first 4 minutes
But…Happy made a free throw.

Just under 4 min left in half and HIcke is scoreless.
Down only 4 at half; Hicke scoreless. Happy 3 fouls.
Monmouth only two made 3’s, so they are scoring in the paint. No surprise.
I feel like this team is bad at everything, yet somehow they’ve lost the past three games by only 11 pts.
FWIW, according to KenPom, we’ve had the toughest schedule of all Ivies: 134th (Yale and Cornell are next in the 170s). Maybe they won’t be so bad when Davis finally gets back and we stop giving up 5 breakaway layups per game because we can’t dribble at midcourt.
This team is definately hard to watch. The turnovers and missed free throws are unbelievable
Up by two but Happy sits with 4th foul with 12 min to play.
The turnovers just don’t stop. Absolutely brutal watching this team.
Whatever the program record for turnovers is, they are going to shatter it this season. Both total and %.
Losing Davis singlehandedly added 6-8 TOs per game. Glad I can’t watch this.

Wish I didn’t get NBCSports Philly. This team makes my eyeballs bleed.
I am not here to make excuses. I do want to point out some observations…
- Recruits are made with roles in mind. We lose people to NIL and people get hurt. Those others have to step up.
- Some of those that step up were never recruited and expected to be in this position. Aka, and hard to say but are supposed to prep the primary recruits.
- Injuries in season compound this problem.
- Here we are.
Take solace in the fact that they at least play hard and can scrap. Games are close. You really can’t go backwards from here.
I appreciate the sentiment, Admin, but I’ve been watching this team for 50 years and can’t remember seeing them lose 5 games in a row. Its hard to take.
NIL baby!
If they could manage to pull out one of these games it might stem the tide, at least mentally.

We have had a good run for multiple years. Rebuilds happen - we’ll see.
