Not looking good. Some missed bunnies inside. Down 4 with a bit over 3 minutes to play and SJ at the line to shoot 2.

Penn gets 2 steals and a 3, but on that second steal, a later ill-advised pass by Michelle N. makes it easy pickins' for SJ.

Down 3 under 40 seconds left, SJ ball

Well, 17 turnovers, 40% from the line; tells you the story right there. The pity was, the next game might have been easier. Home we go.

Making those FTs might have changed the outcome vs Kansas.

Making those FTs would have changed the outcome tonight. Points were really hard to come by.

St. John's had open shots all night long. They weren't making any for a stretch, but those offensive boards gave them a heck of a lot of chances.

Finally they began hitting some later in the 2nd half. Only a matter of time. Penn had some good moments going down low with MN and EP, but the outside shots were mostly not there. SJ really shut it down but good.

DP--

Lots of good kosher digs on Utopia Parkway a bit west of where you are. Probably all closed by now, though.

Only had time for a couple of slices of pizza beforehand, for good or ill.

I caught the second half of the game and it appeared that the St. John's players really seemed to physically intimidate the Quakers. To Parker and Nwokedi's credit, they were able to get 18 points and 11 rebounds between them in the last 2 quarters.

They really needed FT or three pointers to help out, and just could not get either (1-6 from three and 3-8 from the line in the 2nd half). Another big issue was bench play. Despite only going 2 deep, the Red Storm got 9 points from Hoppie and Adams. Penn, meanwhile, only got 2 points from Kinum, Brzozowski, Aghayere, Grasela and Crawford.

The low 3 PT shooting and limited bench production were two problems they often faced against good competition this year. These are two things to work on for next year, if they want to challenge Princeton for the top spot.

No penetration by the guards all night. Plenty of penetration by St. John's perimeter players. Mikes recruits have not had that ability.

That's not totally fair; Baron sure as heck could drive the lane, Chambers was surprisingly good at it, and Ross was really good at it the previous couple of years. Unfortunately, she didn't end up improving as much at the point as I thought she was in the middle of the season, and that seemed to hurt the rest of her offense as the year went along.
