In response to SRP
I didn't catch the whole game unfortunately, I recall as he got hot they definitely did make an effort to double or trap him behind the three point line.
It actually seemed like SJU was more concerned with Perkins given his size advantage as a guard; their defense made him a complete non-factor in the first half.
Penn tries to remove the opportunity for a double by running 3-4 ball screens through a big at the top of the key to start off most possessions, which I find frustrating because they run off most of the clock. I guess this allowed Slajcert to come off the screen with a one on one opportunity, in which he can be quite shifty as we know.
Slajcert interestingly was matched on Greer when we ran a man defense, while Greer was not matched on Slajcert on the other end. Greer being their smallest guard, and Clark ours.
I don't think Penn was able to get a lot of great looks outside of individuals creating space, which is probably the core of why Slajcert was efficient when everyone else was less so. Some backdoor cuts, but this is the different style of Donahue offense we saw being rolled out last year versus a more traditional Princeton offense.
