Time to step up and show pride and character. Hard to believe that the Tigers are 5 1/2 pt favorites unless they are sick and tired of losing.

Tigers must rebound tonight. Go back to contest every shot possible and move the ball quickly until someone gets and open look -- go back to pre-break style of play especially on defensive end.

Hard to believe the line maker then makes Harvard the slight fsvorite over Pennsylvania today.

Harvard 76- Pennsylvania 67

Down 52-57 with 3:49 left. Defense is still Jekyll and Hyde from possession to possession. Dartmouth with an absurd foul advantage in the second half--Tigers get hit on drives with no call, but Dartmouth getting a lot of calls. PU has also been horrible on the defensive boards, letting the Big Green collect tons of ORs.

54-62 with 1:58 left. Bell with a chance for an and-one. Misses it, gets OR, Young misses trey, and Dartmouth ends up shooting FTs again.

After Bell agains fails to finish and and-one, the Johnson hits a trey for Dartmouth. Bell misses, and Johnson is fouled.

Down 12 with 1:07 to go.

Very painful to watch. What is our offensive strategy?

With 4 road games left, it’s hard not to think playoff chances are done. Shocking.

Some of it is just missing shots. Not all of them were bad shots, but some have to go in. Except for Bell's two late layups, every FGA missed from when Princeton had a 52-50 lead.

Wow. What happened over the break? This team has completely lost its will to play basketball. Dartmouth ended the game on a videogame-like 22-4 run in the last 7m.

This is Joe Scott levels of embarrassing.

Maybe that DIII "tuneup" didn't do the job.

Bell is the senior on the team, and to me has the skill set to have the ball in his hands most of the time, but he doesn't seem to want that role, or perhaps the coach doesn't want him to have it. Or perhaps Weisz had that role for so long that Bell is actually new to the role.

And yes, the shots looked like good shots, but no one shot in rhythm with confidence--the role that is usually Cannady's.

Dartmouth had lost 10 in a row.

They were due.

They had in fact lost a lot....but often in close contests.

The best 5-16 team in the country.

Most of those close games actually went down to the last possession.

And nobody put their scrubs in at the end against us.

Very glad that the team was finally able to get that monkey off their backs.

Sometimes it's just not your year. Princeton has a good, well-run, well-coached program, and is recruiting very well. They'll be back. Also, this year is far from over. As Barak Obama would say, everybody just calm the fluck down.

Yes but his Kenyan brother Barack might not have been so mellow.
