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.
