In response to PennFan10
Because I am a coward, and because Cambridge is tremendously streaky and can get very hot, I didn’t want to respond to this until after last night’s game . . .. But this is now 11 straight Ivy games where Cambridge has failed to shoot better than 43% from the field. Only twice in those 11 games has he even made more than 33% (and both of those were last year). Could just be a slump/psychological, but familiarity may be key too — he shot at least 38% in his first game against every Ivy team last year, and he got worse the second time around against 6 of 7 teams, and the only exception was the back to back at the start with Yale his freshman year.
I can say that now, and hopefully he’ll now prove me totally wrong against Princeton, Yale, and Harvard, and any karma impacts will be gone by the time Penn plays Brown at the Palestra.
