In response to Bruno
I think we've really benefitted from Owusu-Anane playing more minutes and Anya's arrival. Not only are they good rebounders, they've also contributed with rim defense - Anya had a couple nice blocks at Northwestern - and Nana is also good for a steal or two a game. Off the bench, Ndur and Cooley bring good energy on the boards and on defense. And I haven't even mentioned Kimo or the rebounding of Wojcik, as you alluded to, Bruno.
Turnovers are the main obstacle for us, IMO - our opponents are averaging 14.2 points off our turnovers per 40 minutes. And some of the same guys who are difference makers on D are the guys who are particularly loose with the ball, especially Anya and Nana, although Nana has done much better in his last five games. I think Kino and Nana have been connecting more of late, and I'm hopeful that the latter can emerge as a third reliable option on offense. Another question mark is Dan Friday - will he be back for Ivy play and can he be a difference maker? I will be interested to see how Penn defends us this evening and how some of the younger guys fare as we transition to conference play.
