Well not really. Reading days start a week from today. I think even the most obsessed student could take a few hours off tonight and go to the game.
Of course attendance in general is an issue no matter when we have a game

Today's students don't start studying for finals during reading days like we did.
But yes, we aren't getting students at any time now.
My guess is a 3000 crowd.

Looks like a little over 2,000 tickets are sold as of now. Add some walk up crowd, band, students, etc. and my guess is you are about right

I'd be very surprised (and disappointed) if we get only 3,000 for this game.

Need a big game out of AJ tonight if we are to have a chance at pulling it out.

If we want to win we need the following:
Dev has to penetrate, score and dish
Antonio has to penetrate and score
AJ has to have a big game.
All of that is because Miami plays man straight up and doesn’t help/double. They guard the 3 pt line so a premium on player who can beat people 1 on 1 and those 3 are our only chance. Yale got a huge game from Oni and they 3 bigs (68 of their 77 came from those people) Atkinson was particularly strong.

Also, the Quakers need to stay out of foul trouble.
Looking at the first half of the Yale-Miami game, Bruner picked up 3 fouls, played 9 minutes and scored 4 points. Reynolds picked up 2 fouls, played 10 minutes and socred 2 points. In the second half, both picked up 0 fouls and played 15 minutes with Bruner scoring 7 and Reynolds 8.
In the first half, Miami shot 12 of 14 FT in the 1st half and only 3-4 in the second.

I don’t think we will be able to shoot 22% from 3 and win like Yale did either.

I don't either, especially since most of our players don't shoot FTs well.

Once again, well into a game where our 3 point shooting % tops our FT%. And in this game that's a very good thing.

We're defending them pretty well so far, and no one is in foul trouble.

Mike Wang has the smoothest, prettiest stroke from 3 that I think I've ever seen from a Penn player. I'm feeling a massive man-crush right now.
(Is that an expression we're not supposed to use any more? Man-crush?)

Should have taken AJ out. Could see that one coming a mile away.
