Pretty bad when you consider the calls went 25-14 for the opposition on your home court. Many questionable calls and non-calls tonight really hurt the Quakers.

There is nothing that says that PFs should be evenly divided.

I couldn't find a Fox Sports feed and listened via WPRB. Can someone tell me what actually happened to Amir Bell? To what extent did it look like an intentional foul? Will he probably be back for our next game?

If the sub could shoot it then teams would have an incentive to fake an injury and substitute a great FT shooter from the bench.

The rule is the rule (if I'm wrong about the rule, feel free to correct).

As far as Penn getting the ball to DNH lower in the post, I thought Princeton played excellent defense after the first 11 minutes of the game and when DNH tried to establish the low post they fronted him and denied the passing lanes. It was tough to get it into him low.

It's not coaching its execution. If the guards won't throw it into him or rotate it when he is fronted there is no coaching that can control that.

It seems like Quaker and Lion fans are far more prone to blame referees and others for losses than other Ivy League teams based on postings on this web site over the years.

From where I was sitting, there were several horrible non calls on Penn down the stretch. Total homer reffing.

I thought it was fairly officiated (with 50/50 calls going both ways) until the final minute or so. That Barrett non-call was egregious and game-changing. Stan Van Gundy kept hammering at it as well.

I disagree Chip. Penn was fouling every trip down the court for a long stretch of the second half, while Penn was turning the ball over. There were several really outrageous non calls on Penn down the stretch.

There was nothing 50-50 about the non-call on Barrett's shot in the lane after his OR or the free peek Penn at Princeton's out of bounds play.

Equating a standard block/charge call with an obvious rake across Barrett's arm is silly. Van Gundy couldn't stop talking about it either ("Clearly missed that foul...obvious foul there...gotta call that foul...").

And yes, I realize that 99.9% fans will always deny getting any "home cooking" whatsoever and deny that any call had anything to do with any game's outcome, even if it's by a single basket.

He, and I, remember all too well going there at 12-2 two years ago. When an egregious no-call on a Will Barrett shot ended the game not one Penn poster refused to count the game as a win for the Quakers.

And I always enjoy the failing plumbing, peeling paint, and funky smells of your "cathedral."

My husband and I went to the Palestra (yay me!)and it is an amazing and fun place to watch a game. I have nothing to say about the officiating as I am a homer all the way. Anyway, this is the second game I have seen and I love the pace at which the team plays - so much fun as fan. Amir Bell was just unbelievable. Here are my questions: how much room do the coaches get in being on the playing floor during the game? Sometimes it seemed like the Penn coach was on the floor with the players. Second, how much time do teams get before they have to break from a huddle after a timeout? Can teams ever get a technical for taking too long? Go tigers!
