Dartmouth' biggest problem against Penn will be the notorious home cooking at the Palestra.
If it's anything like Columbia last Saturday Penn should win going away.

Let's not go overboard. Yes, there were a few brutal calls (most notably the 3 shot foul), but Penn had its chance to win. The refs didn't decide it.

They didn't decide it, but they made some very questionable foul calls on Rothschild in the first half that put him in the hole. One of them seemed like a clear cut tie up for a jump ball, too.
Meanwhile concurrently there were times where we were getting hacked and nothing was called. There was one point in the game where after such a play SD leaped from his seat and really laid into an official.

Rothschild could have been arrested for assault and battery. The number of fouls called was virtually identical. And the three shot foul was confirmed after the refs reviewed the video. In any event Smith only made 2 of the 3.

Wait a sec Chet--foul calls are not reviewable. They were checking to see if it were a 2 or 3 shot foul. But the foul call was outlandish---he launched himself into the defender, who was not moving, and pushed off.
Let's get the rules right before making the categorical statement that the foul was confirmed.

Look at the video on all 3 of Rothschild's foul calls. Not one of them was a good call. There were missed calls against Columbia as well. Defenders are allowed to jump vertically with hands in the air and not be called for a foul.
The Euro step for Petrasek's andone was ridiculous. Rothschild was set, outside the circle, for 3 steps and then Petrasek traveled.
Again, give us the Penn version of those refs this weekend and we sweep easily.

I thought the refereeing was acceptable. Nothing really awful. They didn't decide the game, which is all you can ask.
It was funny how the refs at the Cornell-Penn game were calling the palming while the refs at the Columbia-Penn game should have called a couple they didn't - both on Columbia and Penn.
The positive to having a tournament was that both teams played at a high intensity level.

Ivy refs. are almost uniformly awful. Bad calls tend to be both ways, though the favored or home teams seem to generally get the worst of it, IMO. The Brown - Dartmouth game last weekend was among the worst I have seen, I think 32 fouls against Brown, 23 against Dartmouth, 55 in all. Neither team played differently from earlier games.
Now, if we are still talking Columbia strategy for the weekend, I suggest the Lions should start Faulds and bring Stefanini and Hanson in off the bench.

I never understand getting overly focused on the refs. They make good calls and bad calls. The calls are the calls. I've literally never walked away from a game thinking that the refs determined the outcome. Might be the youth basketball coach in me -- I never even question a call, because I never want the kids focused on anything other than the next play.

For the record I don't think the refs decided the outcome of the game either, I just enjoy complaining about stuff.

I can think of one or two of the hundreds I have seen.
