In response to cc66
cc66 don't give up yet. Despite the 3-5 record, we still have a reasonable chance of making the Ivy League Basketball Tournament this year. If my numbers are correct, we are now tied with Cornell and Princeton for fifth place, just one game behind Brown and Yale who are both 4-4. Dartmouth knocked off Princeton tonight by 16 points tonight so it is certainly possible that we could defeat Princeton at home next week. Also, the same Harvard team that we defeated, won against Penn. More than that, our two losses to Yale and Brown this weekend were both away games that could just as easily ended up as victories if Coach Engles had given more of Hickman's minutes to Stefanini. Tonight's #'s were 20 points in 27 minutes for Stefanini compared to 5 points in 22 minutes for Hickman. That's a huge disparity and clearly indicates that Engles must use Stefanini in the starting line-up instead of Hickman and then keep him on the floor for 30+ minutes. I believe Engles recognizes that now as the line-up he used for most of the second half against Brown was Smith, Stefanini, Meisner, Adlesh and Faulds/Castlin.
