In response to Tiger81
For not watching the game, good summary with a few minor edits. Not all of the 15 Penn turnovers were a function of Princeton defense as almost half of them were a result of careless ball handling. DesRosiers and Much performance over the past two games has been pretty darn good but no guarantee that it will continue. When Richmnond went out in the 2nd half, DesRosiers vs. Much guarded Brodeur which was telling after Brodeur ate up Much in the 1st half.
Wang is an impressive physical specimen for a freshmen with the ability to shoot long 3s' with some inside game that will be better over time. Mitch had Stephens guard Wang at times along with Woods and Goodman when he started going successfully to the hoop - Stephens is a multi-dimensional defender.
I would go with your story on both ends as to the glass being half empty or full although I would give an edge to the narrative that Cannady and Llewellyn will not have a shooting game remotely similar to last evening.
Finally, although Yale had a shaky OT win last evening both Penn and Princeton should be concerned about Yale, Harvard and Brown. RPI has Brown winning it at 10-4 followed by Yale 9-5 although their analysis is probably wrong as well as meaningless.
Without IvyMadness, the regular season would be even more crazy and competitive this year.
