The DP has a weekend preview.

https://www.thedp.com/article/2019/02/penn- mens-ba...

While a split doesn't eliminate Penn, it would make things much more difficult - especially if the one loss is to Cornell.

This one part quote from AJ does not seem to inspire much confidence heading into the 2 games.

- “I think we are settling into a rhythm right now, and not necessarily in a good way. We’re starting to get complacent, starting to settle for where we’re at right now,” junior forward AJ Brodeur said. “I’d say everyone on our team isn’t comfortable with that, in theory, but when it comes to the games we’re not taking that extra step to get where we need to be.” -

I see that as a leader challenging his teammates to step up, without calling anyone out by name.

ESPN has us as bigger favorites (percentage wise) to win Saturday night than Friday. I guess they are figuring in the travel as a factor???

Could also be that they're expecting Princeton to beat up on Cornell Friday night.

That quote is telling and accurate. Other than AJ and maybe Bryce, no one else has stepped up their game in the past 2 months. Nothing like how Foreman and Wood upped their games last year.
