Was at the Palestra today. First game was decidedly a home game for Penn.
Place felt empty for second game. Long trip from New England to southernmost locale. Harvard band was late to the game after working last night's hockey game.
Buzz I heard was that this was the nail in the coffin for holding the tournament here again. Palestra is a wonderful place, if you're Penn. Penn historical banners that were supposed to be coming down stayed up.
I don't see any chance that the tourney is held here again as a supposedly 'neutral' site. Not a knock on the Palestra, just the wrong thing to do. League dodged a major bullet when Princeton pulled the game out in OT.
