For what it's worth, oddsmakers have Tigers as 5 1/2 pt. favorites tomorrow. Penn's big has given fits in the past so Miller and Brennan will have to be sharp.

In the Palestra, rivalry game. They'll be hustling like crazy and PU will have to come in with its own attitude to match. Agree about the big guys controlling Nelson-Henry.

Make sure that you guys come down and see it---a 4:30 game (actually a 2:00 DH). With the students still on break, this could be the lowest attended Penn-Princeton Palestra game in series history

I'm not sure that would improve the atmosphere much. Many (most?) of us Tigers on this site have joined the Medicare generation.  Of course, we can turn up our hearing aids and use our canes as noise-makers.

Their big is slow as molasses so if I were PU I'd have Miller and Brennan run up the court ahead of him. Might score some easy baskets too...Of course PU won't do that as it's against the basketball orthodoxy that will remain until Pete Carril is gone?

Joe, where have you been all season? The Tigers are leading the Ivies in scoring! I fully expect Mitch to press whatever advantage is there today. But I'm told Penn's big fella has lost about 500 pounds and moves better this year.

In the fist game last year, Caruso drove to the basket for a lot of points and fouls. Wondering what the game plan is this year, should be interesting.

I'm getting the feeling that this game will turn on defense. If Princeton plays great defense( no good look treys), they win by a lot. Good defense, they win, bad defense they might squeak it out.
I think I'd be happy if DNH scores 17 points on 30% shooting, means the long ball is not falling for Penn

I know that. It's just that this is one potential advantage that PU could have if they choose to utilize it? Pete Miller has had two flat-ish games in a row and could use the boost? Speaking of big guys am I the only one who thinks that Md's Diamond Stone sounds like a porn name? That's why they run a lot of back-door plays for him...

Princeton with poor fundamentals early. Four times Tigers half left their feet, hung in air, tried to pass and thrown it away. You just can't do that. Down 7 early.

Penn is unconscious from deep. Even the big ugly hits one. Down 8. Bad feeling...

Bell is breaking ankles all over the floor with his wicked crossover. He's got 17 at the half as the Tigers lead by 7.

Really sloppy tonight. Weiss blows an easy 2 on 1 break and bowls over defender. We are making Penns defense look better than it is. Down 2.

Weiss looks like a maniacs spinning and missing in the lane. Slow it down guys! Down 5 with 5 and a lab to play.
