What happened to our dreams? After the UM and Nova games, there was real hope that this could be a truly special Penn team. Visions of Sweet 16 were dancing in a lot of heads. Now, maybe that is the real team and this latest version is a hiccup. I want to believe that.

I am willing to chalk up this loss to Princeton as one of those things that happens because we were not quite back to full health. And Jadwyn is a very tough place to win.

So 10Q says let's win some games. Let's get all healthy and recapture the magic of the first part of the season. Yes, our seed just got killed. Yes, we are done with getting votes in the polls. But in terms of dancing, the last 3 games are practically meaningless. Thanks Ivy Tournament aka the abomination.

It's one game at a time. Let's beat Princeton. Q out.

Yeah we had visions of sugarplums dancing on our heads, but I’ll say here and now that little damage has been done. I am convinced Penn wins handily at home Saturday and no worse than splits the next 2; covering all 3. Barring new injuries, I think Penn goes something like 10-4 in the league which should be good for a 2-3 seed. Then on from there. These guys are much closer to the team that beat Nova than the one that lost to Monmouth.

I don't think you guys have anything to worry about.

The team is clearly not as fluid as earlier in the year. Wang in particular not moving as well, and Rothschild also clearly hindered by his back.

With youth on their side, these players should recover by tournament time.

Your freshman outplayed our freshman by orders of magnitude and should only get better.

I think your are most vulnerable during the ivy season on the second day of back to back games. Short bench and tired bigs.

Princeton on the other hand, will struggle to make the tournament. Our wild card is Aririguzoh; can he continue to improve?

He's always looked like a strong & athletic prospect. If last night is a harbinger, he's becoming a basketball player & a scary one for the rest of the league.
