Two missed front-end 1-and-1s. Finally, Richie gets us a bucket. KEEP GOING TO HIM.
so much for that plan...

Oh man. Now a careless inbounds TO by Jaelin. Mitch not playing Morales down the stretch here could come back to haunt us.
Can we win it with defense?

Great stop! Big FTs coming for Much...
EDIT: 2/2 even after the BS "1-and-1" call.

Tigers escape. Goodman's many miscues and Penn's brutal FT shooting in the clutch rescues Princeton from their own FT butchery and mental weaknesses on the bad box out and the horrible Llewelyn turnover.

Penn's play the last 3 games has just been brutal.
No-one really wanted this game.

The end of regulation and the overtime were some of the ugliest basketball I have seen....
Obviously both teams were exhausted physically and mentally.

Aririguzoh is the secret weapon! Jaelin needs some time to get back his game. And, we have these guys again in 7 days. Hack-a-quack prevailed in the end.

The biggest key was containing Brodeur in the 2nd half -- force him to his left and make him shoot FTs. That needs to happen ALL GAME. Great halftime adjustment by our guys though.
As for the offense, both teams were gassed so I can't fault missed shots and FTs. I get why Jaelin is in there despite missing shots -- his handles and defense are so valuable. But man, he's gotta show better shot selection on nights like these. Hopefully a learning experience for a great talent.
Aririguzoh and Stephens were definitely our MVPs. Also, Much and Desrosiers showed that ASU wasn't a fluke -- they're back! And hopefully here to stay.

So lucky Goodman missed the layup down the stretch. Penn ran that same action repeatedly in the second half and Princeton never had an answer.
At least there were some positives in the first 35 minutes...

Botched Penn FTs in OT have cost it the past two straight games. They missed 5 straight in OT against Monmouth, and missed 5 more in OT today.

Go into both locker rooms and let them know that you do not believe either team wanted this game - pure exhaustion in OT. Really???

That goes both ways. We missed two front-end 1-and-1s in OT and Cannady -- a 94% FT shooter -- went 0-2 today. At least Brodeur isn't a good FT shooter anyway. It was just a gritty, ugly game and the home team barely won. I'd give you guys the slight edge next Saturday.

I’m loving that 1-0 feeling.
If we can win with Llewellyn having the game he had and Cannady going 0 for 6 from 3, I think the tigers have as good a chance as any to win it all.
But, wow, never seen a player lose his game the way Llewellyn has ( reminds me of Markelle Fultz ). Have to think he will come roaring back.

With 4 minutes to go Penn was 6-7 Ft vs Tigers 4-10. 8 pt lead with 4 minutes to go and Tigers offense slows down trying not to lose rather than play to win. A weakness with Mitch’s coaching style. Best defensive effort in years at home. Would be nice to get Gladson back. Kudos to Myles and Richmond. Jerome and Much return from the dead. Stupid to play in one week but we have the glory of IvyMadness.

He hasn't lost his game. He is just in a shooting funk, just as Much had at the beginning of the season We still need him to run the team even when his shot is not falling. He will get his shot back. Just give him time.
