Game is at 6:30, on NBC Sports Philly Plus in the Delaware Valley, ILN otherwise. As others pointed out, the abuse dealt out to H and D by both of the P's this weekend likely means that the race for 1st, at least, should be between us and them. Keys to tonight are:
--We have to shoot well from 3 to keep the Tigers from being able to sag down on Nwokedi and Parker all the time as they did in the 1st match. Nwokedi's getting hot from behind the arc lately would help if she can keep it up.
--Got to play better interior defense; in particular, they need to figure out a way to at least limit Alarie down there.
--Speaking of Miss Thing, Penn needs to be a lot smarter about trying to challenge her. I hope to see a lot of penetrating and then kicking out to open 3 shooters.
Penn's definitely playing a lot better than they were the first time; I think part of the problem was that they played a bunch of scrubby teams before the break, and they weren't prepared for the sudden jump in talent. Hopefully, the wins against Nova, Temple, and the other Ivies will have them better prepared this time.
