In response to Tiger84
I actually think that Penn got plenty of decent (though not great) shots, but wasn't hitting anything. We don't have any big men who are great finishers. Spinoso made plenty of good moves and got good position, but his touch at the finish just isn't great right now. Dingle makes plenty of difficult threes, but didn't yesterday. So I'm not trying to over-react about this game. That said, our offense is relying on the three point prowess of just a few decent (but not great) three point shooters. We have a lot of volatility both between and within games as a result. Similarly, our defense doesn't pass the eye or statistical test. The laws of averages and standard deviation don't work for us this way. That observation is not an over-reaction.
We've had seasons with great first halves of the Ivy season and terrible first halves - and complete reversals in the second half. It depends a lot on roster health and the heart of the team. Hopefully we have better things in store.
