In response to HARVARDDADGRAD
Kenpom has us as 7 point favorites, but, again, I’m expecting a close, close game. This team seems incapable of playing anything other than a one possession game.
Penn is going to be desperate, but so should we. This game is just as important for us. The big thing defensively is just making Penn earn everything by finishing over our length; no backdoors. Will be interesting if Forbes is able to hold up against Brodeur like he did against Aririguzoh last night. In any case, we’re probably going to need another big defensive game from Lewis, and hopefully some offense out of him too.
We were able to punish Penn on the offensive glass at the Palestra; it’d be huge if we could get some easy buckets that way again given our difficulties at times scoring in the half court without Aiken. Need Juzang and Kirkwood to both be aggressive attacking the basket too. And Baker is always the X-factor for us. He didn’t get lost on any back cuts last night, made some big threes, and got some big blocks. We’ll need more of that tonight.
