Trailing 14-11 after 1Q. About as rough a start as we have seen thia year. |

Looked like Princeton was en route to taking this game over, but a late spurt by Penn makes it 30-28 for the underdogs at the half. I assume that some of those Princeton misses will become conversions in the second half. |

Penn played a great first half and the Tigers were good, but not great. Princeton will need to clean up their TOs, tighten up their interior D, and hit a few more shots in the second half to turn this around. |

Playing like they think they can hit the gas when they decide to do it. Penn not cooperating however. Fingers crossed ???? |

Much cleaner 3Q, Tigers up 4. But Penn is playing hard, Princeton will need to meet their intensity for the final 10 minutes to get into the final. |

Yeah, I thought there about 2-3 times where Princeton was going to blow it open, the first when there was a clear Penn rebound that somehow the refs allowed a Princeton reach-in to become a jump ball with no foul, leading to several hoops for Princeton. But Penn kept on fighting back. At least they kept it competitive for 3 quarters. I think this is the quarter that Princeton will finally take over. |

Belker is not passing cleanly. Too many passes telegraphed leading to steals and easy transition baskets or disruption of Tiger offense. |

Disappointing that it came down to that call on Obi which could very well have gone the other way. That was one heck of an effort out there. |

Tigers had 21 TOs and shot 5-20 from 3P, only their relentless ORs kept them in the game along with their usual tight D. That won’t be good enough to win the next one. Hats off to Penn for scrapping until the final buzzer. |
