Slachert is in the starting 5 |

if What Martini just did to get an offensive foul is legit, then might as well just drag down the driver every time. Not even close to having position. But Princeton is MUCH better than Penn. They hit every open 3 and we miss 3 of 4. |

I've felt for a long time that SD likes the three a bit too much. |

Looks like Penn put in a lineup that plays tighter defense and allows it to go on a run |

Very nice last 5 minutes of the half. Turned up the D and force Princeton to take much tougher shots. |

I generally don’t like to moan about the refs but they really need to be aware of the Princeton flop. That was an awful call - not even close to a charge |

Penn comes out forcing. Must work the ball |

The defense against Princeton's three-point shooters is not very good. |

Neither is the offense. Neither is the rebounding. They just, as they always do, get the key open shot, key rebound, key steal. They know they are better and have total confidence. |

Game on the line down 7 and they take 34 seconds and get a 14-foot fadeaway that barely touches rim. The perfect example of what this offense is against the Ivies. Game after game they give up wide open 3 after wide open 3 and are surprised they lose. Not only can’t he recruit the schemes stink too. 10 straight! |

Lose with Honor! But as I said earlier, Princeton is much better than this Penn team. They did well to be in the game until the last couple of minutes. |

This still hurts me. I think I hate Penn.

Did anyone else notice that Princeton double teams Clark everywhere on the floor. More bad defense. Princeton shot 42% from three, Penn 33%. As Palestra38 said, being open counts. Nick was a monster. No turnovers tonight. |

I saw the way they were defending Slajchert, as if he'd never missed any time due to injury. It was clear that he's not in game shape. He shot 4 for 11 and 0 for 2 from long range. His shot was flat. The game reminded me way too much of the tournament semifinal game last season. |

Up 4 at the half was such easy live bet money at -2.5. Pretty frustrating knowing you’re going to be outcoached in the second half and lose pretty much every time. But who cares, they compete!! |

Yes, but that team had Dingle, Martz, Monroe and a few other pieces. Blew a 17 point lead first game and couldn't hold a lead in the last 2 minutes in the playoff game. This team played its heart out--it's just not good enough. |

Penn will be lucky to win 3 more games the rest of the way.

Less than 50% to win 3 |

This still hurts me. I think I hate Penn. Thankfully I didn’t choose to hurt myself and watch the game. Caught a few minutes at the end of the first half to see us up. I’ve seen this moving before so I spared myself from repeating the ending. 10 losses in a row to Princeton over 6 years since last win. Can you imagine? |

This team just not good enough. The team plays hard and some good young players for sure. But basically this sums up the problem in general. That’s not the players fault, it is the failures of the coaching staff. We are nearing the obliteration of the small fanbase even hanging on at this point. |

Awww, I thought we were going to let this slide on the board!  17 points at the half. Championship on the line. We get it!
