In response to Quakers03
A couple of points:
Vis-a-vis Martz and Dingle's departure. The only reason they are playing is Covid. Penn's current talent is the sum of the last four recruiting years. Without covid this is what we would have had anyway.
Some sad Ivy-only efficiency stats. Penn is 7th of 3% made; eighth on 2% allowed, eighth 3% attempts allowed; eighth on defensive efficiency; 7th on turnovers gains; eighth on assists allowed. When people said nine years ago that Steve was an offensive coach they sure were right. Penn is currently only good at preventing O board ranking 2. They are 6th at getting offensive boards.
Penn is ranked 6th in offense. That is what happens when you have only three scorers. Say what you want about the next three, Laz, Holland, and Smith. None can create offense. They are good only for taking a pass at the hoop of grabbing a O board. They average 3.7 shots on 18.8 minutes a game. From there is gets worse.
It is still possible for the five dwarfs to end up tied in the Ivies at 4-10.
