In response to palestra38
Not sure I agree about that. in terms of what was happening in the first half vs. second half, i think Columbia and Smith played fairly similarly half to half, but how Penn defended changed. And in terms of whether the strategy works, I think you can beat Columbia while letting Smith get his, if he isn't setting anyone else up (which he wasn't). And that was basically the decision Penn made. It may not be a coincidence that we struggled mightily (and trailed multiple times) in the first half while Smith wasn't scoring, and then never trailed (and at times pushed the lead out to double digits) while Smith was scoring.
