Struggling first set, but nice tap out rebound from Max extends possession. |

Always a plus to get a Darnell 3. |

Nice start. Princeton had a grueling weekend with 2 OT games - their Big 3 all logged 80+ minutes, Cannady went almost the full 90. Run them into the ground immediately. |

Another O-board, and the actually get a score. And awesome transition results in a Woods layup. Mitch forced to call a timeout, Penn up 8-0. |

Yikes. Now a Woods 3 to go with Betley and Foreman. Aggressive defense has Princeton all out of sorts. |

It's raining threes. Mitch Henderson starting to look a little like Joe Scott out there. |

Man, Woods just missed a wide open A.J. in the paint, and then Betley blows it at the rim after a great cut. |

Great pass by Foreman to Betley but he cannot finish. |

Stephens drive and teardrop in the lane and it’s 13-5 Quakers at the first media timeout. |

Caleb off the bench and immediately makes the aggressive drive from the top of the key for the and-1. Misses the FT. |

Great transition 3 by Betley! |
|
Chip Bayers Professor Posts 7001 |
02-06-18 07:19 PM - Post#246475
Darnell just made the worst in-bound pass possible, but Stephens blows the layup in transition. Betley with the 3, and then after a Canady missed 3 goes all the way in transition for the layup. Mitch has to call another timeout, 20-8 Penn. |

Betley's looking sharp. 20-8. |

And now a tremendous driving bank by Betley. He can do it all and Henderson once again calls time. |

02-06-18 07:21 PM - Post#246481
Right now, we just need to take care of the ball. Princeton's not having much success stopping us either down low or from distance. Passing has been sharp. |

Stephens 3 cuts it to 4, then a Max turnover eventually ends in a Stephens offensive board and put back to make it 25-23. |

You mean Wood? Yes. Caleb clanked a couple early. Betley breaks the drought. Need the FT coming up. |

Betley with another strong drive for the and-1 chance coming out of the under 4:00 timeout. 27-23 Penn, FT coming after break. |

Please defend their stars. Princeton is positioning Stephens on the wing more. Daring Max to step out and defend him. |
|

And Ryan hits the bonus. They was the under 8:00 timeout BTW. 6:30 left. |

Great pass from Max to A.J. on baseline, and he blows the layup. Sloppy play right now. Another turnover. |
|
Chip Bayers Professor Posts 7001 |
02-06-18 07:34 PM - Post#246499
Bell spins into the lane on Broderick, who gives up the layup and the cheap foul. That’s 2. 28-26 Penn. |
|
weinhauers_ghost Postdoc Posts 2137 |
02-06-18 07:35 PM - Post#246500
Max should have gone back out to Wood on the wing. |
|

Betley 3 deflected. |

Offense has gone totally dead. Totally dependent on Betley making things happen. Not good. |
|
Chip Bayers Professor Posts 7001 |
02-06-18 07:37 PM - Post#246503
Foreman drives into danger against the shotblockers, but manages to draw the bailout foul from Gladson. Bell angry at his teammate because he had the shot blocked if not for the bump. |
|
Chip Bayers Professor Posts 7001 |
02-06-18 07:38 PM - Post#246505
It’s Princeton big lineup against Max & four guards, and the bigs are winning at moment. |

Great pass from Max to A.J. on baseline, and he blows the layup. Sloppy play right now. Another turnover. I thought AJ got some heavy D on the bunny. |

Darnell makes both FTs. 30-26, 3:30 left. Wood misses another 3. |

Two swishes from Darnell at that. |

Max with another short arm 4 footer. |
|
Chip Bayers Professor Posts 7001 |
02-06-18 07:43 PM - Post#246514
Much and Max trade weak post up attempts, and Silpe fouls Canady on rebound. He of course makes both in 1-and-1. |
|
penn nation Professor Posts 21193 |

Awful sequence by Max - weak shot on one end, isn't paying attention to the drive on the other. |
|
Chip Bayers Professor Posts 7001 |
02-06-18 07:44 PM - Post#246519
Max can’t convert again in the post, and Canady abuses Foreman off the bounce for the and-1. Princeton leads 31-30. |

Makes 1-2, Betley taps the long rebound to a Wood who is fouled by Young. |

Foreman drives a gap, dumps it to Max who gets mugged and csnt hit layup. Makes both FTs. |
|

Nice defensive sequence, only to end with Much making a ridiculous off balance shot. |
|
Chip Bayers Professor Posts 7001 |
02-06-18 07:49 PM - Post#246534
Oh man, Tigers offense totally shut down and Much hits a Cambridge-like turnaround from the foul line to bail them out. 38-33. |
|
TheLine Professor Posts 5597 |

Bailout foul by Cannady to send Wood to the line. What do we have to do to keep Stephens off the offensive boards? |
|
Chip Bayers Professor Posts 7001 |

Canady with the incredibly dumb foul as shot clock about to expire. Wood makes both FTs. |

Bell misses a three, but no one boxes out Stephens and he gets the rebound tip at the buzzer. |

Max was out on the perimeter and came in late, Antonio was in the lane but didn’t box out. |

|

02-06-18 08:03 PM - Post#246547
I'll take where we're at right now. FT shooting has been pretty decent, albeit some of the misses were front end ones. Henderson made the first set of adjustments; now it's Donahue's turn to respond. |
|
tguru Masters Student Posts 409 |

Two tough teams. |
|
weinhauers_ghost Postdoc Posts 2137 |
02-06-18 08:07 PM - Post#246550
I'll take it as well. AJ is the only Penn player with two fouls. Cannady, two fellow starters and two reserves all have two each for Princeton. If we can get them into the bonus early, that might help open up the offense. |
|
Chip Bayers Professor Posts 7001 |
02-06-18 08:11 PM - Post#246551
Max to A.J. cutting along the baseline and he gets the reverse layup -on the board to start the half! |
|
penn nation Professor Posts 21193 |

That was a FANTASTIC whip pass. Nice reception by AJ--Tom Brady, eat your heart out. |
|
Chip Bayers Professor Posts 7001 |
02-06-18 08:12 PM - Post#246553
Much post move off inbound, A.J. missed 3, and Stephens 3 cuts it to 2. Now Brodeur gets the baby hook in the lane to go. 44-40. |
|
Chip Bayers Professor Posts 7001 |

02-06-18 08:22 PM - Post#246570
A.J. with the strong step through in the post against Brennan for the 3-Point play. 53-42. Now Stephens ends the 9-0 Penn run. |
|
weinhauers_ghost Postdoc Posts 2137 |
02-06-18 08:24 PM - Post#246571
How the hell do they score there? I don't think Desrosiers has played tonight. edit: box score says otherwise. He has one foul and has otherwise been shut out on the stat sheet. |
|
Chip Bayers Professor Posts 7001 |
02-06-18 08:24 PM - Post#246572
No box out on Bell, he gets the rebound, putback, and foul. Brodeur abuses Gladson in the post. 55-47. |
|
weinhauers_ghost Postdoc Posts 2137 |

Foreman with the steal! |

I know. We have to take care of the boards. That's keeping Princeton in it right now. |

After Foreman intercepts a Stephens kickout pass to Bell, a frustrated Gladson fouls A.J. attempting to maneuver into the left block. Timeout. |

AJ not Rothschild scoring in the low post. |

weinhauers_ghost Postdoc Posts 2137 |
02-06-18 08:27 PM - Post#246577
AJ is taking advantage of single coverage defense and just backing their bigs under the basket. |
|
penn nation Professor Posts 21193 |
02-06-18 08:28 PM - Post#246578
Our bigs are noticeably more effective than their bigs. That's the difference maker so far IMHO. |
|
penn nation Professor Posts 21193 |
02-06-18 08:28 PM - Post#246579
Would not surprise me if Henderson goes back to daring Penn to shoot the 3 or, at minimum, doubling AJ once he gets the ball. |
|
Chip Bayers Professor Posts 7001 |
02-06-18 08:30 PM - Post#246580
Cannady in illegal guarding position gets popped, and yet they call the foul on Wood. Awful. Just awful. |
|
penn nation Professor Posts 21193 |
02-06-18 08:30 PM - Post#246581
Horrible way to turn the ball over after the time out. Again, the basket is made but does not count. |
|
weinhauers_ghost Postdoc Posts 2137 |
02-06-18 08:30 PM - Post#246582
I don't like that call on Wood. An offensive player needs to be able to clear space. You can't give the defender that much of an advantage. edit: they change the call and take the foul away from Wood. |
|
Chip Bayers Professor Posts 7001 |
02-06-18 08:31 PM - Post#246583
So they take the foul away. Good use of replay. |
|

So they take the foul away. Good use of replay. Let's give credit where credit is due. That's a big reversal to make against the home team. The correct one, but still--that was a pivotal moment in this game. |

What’s particularly impressive about that for Foreman is that they basically weren’t guarding him from 20-8 feet, backing up and trying to entice him into the floaters he likes, and yet he didn’t force up a bunch of those low percentage 2s despite having all that space to roam. |

We even passed them in pomeroy, which those of us who only read the stats needed to see to prove that what our eyes have shown us over two games is really true. We’re 140, they’re down to 162. And this may be loser talk, but we’re right on the cusp of more or less clinching an ivy tournament berth. And I was hoping to come out of the weekend no worse than 6-2, so I already need to up my expectations/hopes. |

Darnell played the best game I've ever seen from him. I've harped on him quite a bit during the summer and early season. His performance shows that I was both right and wrong about him. Earlier, I said he shot too much, was a low efficiency shooter, didn't keep his head up for assists, and didn't finish in the lane. The ball movement would die once he touched it. Well, that was true for a while. But suddenly Darnell is playing within himself and really understands his role. He has shown great control. He has avoided the leaning fallaway mid-range shot which he took often but rarely seemed to hit. He has gotten much better at going all the way to the hoop. He doesn't hold the ball like Carmelo anymore - when there isn't anything to do, he dishes it off. He looks very confident as a leader and he is even hitting more FTs. . It is so strange watching this team compared with last year. Most of the players are the same. But they seem so coachable this year. many of these players seemed so undisciplined in the past. I don't know what came over them, but this year we're seeing. Great teamwork, solid ball movement, good defensive effort, and real tenacity under pressure. Their shooting is improving due to far better shot selection. My favorite Quaker teams were the '91-92 team and the Rosen Sr. Year team. Both of those teams were incredibly tough and gutsy. This may become my favorite of all if they continue to compete the way they have been. Go Quakers! |

I assume Jeff will attack my exuberance, but what a great team win. Love the way the core 6 in the rotation plays offense together. Just pretty to watch, and fun to see how we play smart and exploit matchups. It’s really a pick your poison situation. After the first game I questioned our decision to reduce Betley’s Motion in the second half and feed AJ. Having now seen it twice, I’ll happily concede I was wrong. Princeton apparently watched the Yale game and the first half and figured there was no need to double AJ. Seems like he just played possum until they let him isolate. And then he scored over and over, just like when people played him straight up last year. On defense, our starters are versatile and play great team Defense. All of the starters had one of Princeton’s Big Three at some point. Obviously Foreman was the star tonight, guarding Cannady all game. The one possession Foreman sat, Cannady immediately hit a 3. So back came Darnell. He allowed one bucket in 37 minutes against a guy who is a big time scorer this year. While scoring 21 himself. |

While that Rosen year was fun, that was a lot of hero ball improvisation. This is so much more thoughtful and structured. The point about Princeton daring Foreman to shoot midrange is exactly right. Both Foreman and Woods seem very aware of what their historical weaknesses are, and know exactly how to exploit teams trying to exploit them. Wood too — it’s amazing how good he looks without all the turnovers from last year. |

The Rosen years, you knew darn well who was going to be the hero. This season, as noted, it's more team oriented AND you never know from game to game who the hero will be. Much more satisfying. I couldn't help but look at the IL press release this week on the POW, ROW and the Honor Roll. There was only one Penn player (Wood, not normally a starter) and despite the gaudy stats of many of the other players listed, Penn was the only team that actually went 2-0 on the week. |

That guy had a will to win like no other. |

It was an awesome performance and despite there being only about 1500 at the game, it was great to be there. As for Cannady, he clearly is injured--he was riding the stationary bike any time he was out of the game. My guess is a back problem, but he was not the same player. But when your opponent is hurting, you put your foot on his throat and crush him. And that is what we did. Amazing coaching job by Donahue---2nd straight time against Princeton where he made a major adjustment at halftime and it won the game. |

Thanks. Penn, for the first time in years, has a core group of 6 guys who can really play---we're not giving much ground, if any, at any position and 6th man. And we have a coach who can coach---two games against Princeton where significant adjustments were made at halftime that worked. It's great to be out of the wilderness---your ride under Joe Scott was much shorter. |

That team did not have any big men who could make the kind of moves we saw from AJ yesterday. Trice, Moore and Krug were all nice players without any of AJ's inside game. You put AJ on that team and they might have made the Final Four Before we have a Big Man Controversy, I'll just note that AJ was only able to completely dominate the game when Max was out of the game and Princeton was beside itself trying to cover both Wood and Betley outside. Max has brought a lot to the table, but the next time I see AJ standing on the 3 point line wondering whether he should shoot, I will scream. |

"The talent level [between this year and the Allen-Maloney team is pretty close." Uh, no. You know how much I love Antonio and the rest of these guys. But Allen and Maloney were NBA players and Pierce and Bowman were really really good. We don't have anyone now who will be considered or drafted by the NBA. This team has a slight advantage offensively inside. But that's it. |

I basically agree, except with the Final Four comment. The ESPN commentator last night was asked by Rece Davis what he thought of Penn's chances in an NCAA tourney game should they quality. While praising them he also cautioned that Penn's big men wouldn't be able to body up Power 5 conference bigs the way they did against Princeton, and the same was certainly true of the Allen-Maloney squad. That bull of a player on Florida would have given AJ plenty of problems.

For all that "talent" those teams got exactly one tournament win. You accept that down low we have more talent on this team. Obviously the guards were more talented on that team. All together, not that much of a disparity. |

Yes, the team functions well with AJ as the only big, not so well when Max is. And yes, let's let this team stand on its own and not compare it to the Allen-Maloney team. It helped that Princeton was gassed from the weekend. Other than that stretch of about 6 minutes from around minute 10 of the first half to minute 16, we ran at them at hard. That was the correct approach. And man, did Darnell have it last night. I'm happy to finally not be the lone Darnell supporter. He's a good player when he plays within himself and doesn't force the action. The best part is when you look at this team, other than AJ it's a bunch of recruiting afterthoughts. - Darnell was a consolation prize of a recruit when Allen couldn't find anyone better. Was any other D1 college of note even pursuing him? - Antonio got looks from majors but only if he'd play football. Penn was willing to let him focus on basketball. I'm pretty sure Penn was the best basketball-only offer he got. - Max wasn't heavily recruited. Mo Esformes got more attention on this board than Max. So did everyone else in his recruiting class - Jake, Jackson, Collin. - Anyone could've had Caleb Wood out of JuCo. - Betley was a prototypical generic 2 star wing receiving lower level Ivy and Patriot League interest. |

Yes, it helped that Princeton didn't have the energy of the first game, but Penn played just as many minutes. The fact that Cannady has an injury and yet played almost the entire game didn't help them. But the way we played yesterday we would have won anyway. Let me say--this team is in GREAT shape. Look at the minutes played by that Iron 6 and only once or twice did anyone look tired---and they came back from a 2-3 minute break and brought it just as hard. |

Princeton played 5 extra minutes on Saturday. Against Brown, who at this point I'd pick to make the top 4. It makes a difference when Penn didn't have as tough a game on Saturday against a Yale team that played with heavy legs. Cannady played all 45 on Saturday after playing 43 on Friday - no wonder he wasn't at his best. Stephens and Bell weren't too far behind in minutes. Princeton's heavily reliant on those 3. They all faded down the stretch. |

While praising them he also cautioned that Penn's big men wouldn't be able to body up Power 5 conference bigs the way they did against Princeton Harvard’s defense this weekend will most closely approximate this, ranked in the top 75 nationally in 2-pt. %, and top 50 in block %. |

I go back to our early prognostications and I wondered how Princeton could possibly replace Weisz and Cook. They haven't. Those two guys made them really good last year and the freshmen are not at that level--and it is a question whether they ever will be. And even Pete Miller would have helped on defensing AJ. And although hurt, I will note that Caruso is averaging 12 ppg and 7 rebounds for Santa Clara (then there is Brase). They were absolutely loaded last year and this fall off should have been expected. |

No, there is a huge disparity. Those teams were top 50-70 in the country. This team is closer to top 150 and has only beaten one team in the top 150 (#142 Dayton). This team's offense is near the bottom 100 in the country. Allen/Maloney team went 14-0 one year and didn't have a game against an Ivy in single digits. I am enjoying this team and their gritty play immensely - but let's not go crazy. |

Princeton was a default #1. Yes, there was a drop-off but what was their competition going to be? Yale was banged up, I don't know what to expect from an Amaker Harvard team, it seemed a year early for Penn, and no other team seemed ready to make the leap. |

I thought Harvard was the team to beat, but I see your point on who knows what to expect from Amaker teams. With respect to Princeton, it's really tough to win with 3 guards and then freshmen. |

We did play well with AJ as the lone big for a stretch. Princeton also did not double him and that’s a mistake. They doubled Max and he dished 6 dimes. While our offense is better when AJ is the lone big and the other team doesn’t double, our defense and rebounding (the main reason we are in this position) are not sufficient. This teams identity is around defense and rebounding. Likely not going to change. |

I wasn't suggesting that---and frankly, given the Iron Man 6 Donahue has gone to, it isn't going to happen. I just think at times, we should let Max come outside and have AJ get the inside on offense. |

The nice thing about our Iron 6 is that we have a ton of solid depth behind them. It's not like we have to bring in freshmen if someone gets in foul trouble. |

Well, the 7th guy is a Freshman - and he's good enough to take on more minutes. Scott would also be in the mix if he didn't get injured. |

Agreed on this. Without Max, we’d have a different identity, and AJ might be averaging 17+ per game. We also wouldn’t be as good overall. |

I brought up Allen-Maloney simply in the context of certain qualities that were fun to watch. I in no way suggested that the current squad is their equal overall and apologize if anyone was left with that impression. That said I do not think I will get tired of seeing that espn3 replay anytime soon. 😃 |

That Princeton team last year was just so versatile. You had a lot of guys who could play inside and out, cover guards or forwards, etc. I thought they could win with 3 two way players and filling in pieces around them. However, the most experienced 5, which would add Young and Brennan to those 3, seems mismatched. There still might be a mix that works for them, and the last two at home are just two games, but it did look like they may need to go back to the drawing board. |

If we must draw comparisons, I would say this squad more resembles the Jordan/Langel/Romanczuk/R yan teams; they were better (nothing quite like Jordan on this team) but not quite as deep as this crew. |

Maybe, but have we really seen that happen with AJ against anyone? If anything, what I would like about playing a 2 or 3 seed (if we are lucky enough to get there) is that they probably would play AJ one on one. Even very good teams do that at their peril. It’s the same dynamic that resulted in Ugonna getting beaten up by double teams and various stunts in the Ivy season, and then going off against better players in the tourney. Moore and Trice weren’t going to do that against serious high major frontcourts, the win at Michigan notwithstanding. |

FWIW - looking at 2 and 3 points shooting for the Quakers and their opponents. Penn 3 Pt Shooting For the season 34%; In conference 35% Last night: 38% (9-24; 6-13 1st half & 3-11 2nd half) Penn Opponents' 3 Pt Shooting For the season 30%; In conference 26% Last night: 28% (7-25; 5-13 1st half & 2-12 2nd half) Penn 2 Pt Shooting For the season 52%; In conference 52% Last night: 66% (21-32; 6-16 1st half & 15-16! 2nd half) Penn Opponents' 2 Pt Shooting For the season 47%; In conference 50% Last night: 50% (16-32; 7-15 1st half & 9-17 2nd half) |

And we were 9-21 from 3 before Jones and Donahue managed to brick 3 3-point shots in the last 2 minute garbage time |

Penn 2 Pt Shooting For the season 52%; In conference 52% Last night: 66% (21-32; 6-16 1st half & 15-16! 2nd half) Just finished watching the 2nd half...again. Let it be noted that every made 2 point shot in that second half came in the paint, and almost all within a couple of feet from the hoop. The only miss was far away from the hoop--that was one of the few successful Princeton defensive efforts. Max was double teamed away from the basket, no-one really came to help, and by the time he lobbed a long pass to a teammate we had to throw up a bail out two just to beat the shot clock. In addition, the momentum shift can't be stressed enough when the officials reversed that offensive foul with Wood vs Cannady. There were 12 minutes left in the game and the lead, which had been 11, was cut to 8. Penn got the ball back and Princeton would never get any closer for the remainder of the contest. |

Well, they looked at it for over 5 minutes, so I gather they got it right. But all it was was Wood straightening up--that's not an offensive foul. I don't think it would have mattered. |

The reversal was warranted. It was also a momentum shifter. Princeton was hanging around up until that point. They could have cut it to a 2 possession game if the call was allowed to stand....and then, who knows. Instead, after Penn scored immediately after the reversal, Princeton was no closer than 4 possessions for the remainder of the game--and sometimes not even that close. |

Yes, but they were finished. The pace had killed them. That's why I am so impressed with the Penn conditioning---Foreman, Woods and Betley essentially played the whole game with Wood taking about 10 minutes each from AJ and Max. McDonald got 2 minutes and there were 2 minutes of garbage time. But these guys looked like they could run another game. |

I rewatched the game. It was a an even better performance than the first viewing. Cannady wasn't moving well at all, and kept slowing down as the game wore on. Foreman was guarding him, at some point he realized Cannady was just drifting to the corner every play and not moving much so he was more aggressive with his help defense, clogging passing lanes and doubling balls to the post. The hot start was key. Princeton expended a lot of energy to climb back into the game but Penn continued to run at Princeton and it was taking a hidden toll. This sequence burst their bubble after Princeton took their one lead of the game at 30-31 : - A doubled Rothschild hits a wide open Wood outside the arc. No one comes close to coming out to challenge. 33-31 - Foreman alertly picks off a pass, races down the court and hits Woods for a drive. Woods takes on Much, gets fouled, hits the first FT. 34-31 - Woods misses the second FT but Young commits a silly foul defending Wood on the rebound. Wood hits 2. 36-31 - No movement by Princeton on the offensive end. Stephens, guarded well by Rothschild, settles for a long shot and misses. - Foreman attacks. The Princeton D is in disarray and no one picks him up. Instead of shooting from the outside, Foreman drives, draws attention, and lays it off to Rothschild who gets fouled by Bell. Max hits 2. 38-31 A tired Princeton team was saved by Stephens' tip-in before the 1st half buzzer but it didn't take too long for Penn to exploit them again. Donahue moved Brodeur to the low post on offense and Henderson decided the D would play him straight up. It turned out to be a big mistake. It was all over. Foreman pantsing the Princeton guards was icing on the cake. Donahue had a good strategy all game and Henderson had trouble countering, but I'm not sure Henderson had much to counter with. |

Just to put some stats on the difference in Caleb, last year his turnover percentage was 26.0. This year he is at 7.4. Only Cambridge has a lower percentage, and Cannady and Corey Johnson are the only others in the league even under 10%. While not playing point obviously makes a difference, his usage rate is nearly identical to last year at 22%. And he’s started to do more point guard things as time goes on, to boot. Just a huge difference from last year in taking care of the ball. |
