Well done by Smith to make all three and then earn the turnover.

Beat me to it--I was about to say that Vince is insufferable.
Vince does talk too much for a color guy. That being said, he certainly contributes more knowledge than your typical Ivy color commentator (realize this is not a high bar, but still. . .)

Well, that was probably the best half of the year. Let's see if they can keep it up in the second.

He just has to ease up on the self-congratulatory BS. He knows the teams and the game (irrespective of his lack of knowledge about what constitutes steps).

That being said, probably our best half of basketball in league play.

Thrilled to be up 12, but I still don’t think we played that great. I don’t agree that “we’re playing for fourth place at best.” Look around the league. We’re as good as anybody including Princeton, who has somehow managed to escape with wins three times to get to 5-0.

Would have been a premier event at the Palestra if they weren't so worried about a virus that we're just going to have to live with at the risk of flu-like symptoms unless you're a fool. Watch all the other Ivies go back to having fans in the building in February, after Penn has played 5 of its 7 home games.
The limited number of ”players’ families and friends” that are allowed in the Palestra includes quite a few long time, high rolling, season ticket holders. I’ve been noticing them on tv since Penn shut out those of us who pay the ridiculous prices, but apparently don’t contribute enough. What’s that all about?
If letting in a few big donors gives us enough of a home court advantage to beat Yale, then I’m on board. Maybe the oddsmakers knew about this….

You really think letting those guys in helps give us a home court advantage? Seriously? You know who they are. They sit there and make about as much noise as I do when I’m asleep - and I don’t even snore. It’s just more hypocrisy coming out of our athletic department.

Both teams are shooting horribly. If either turns it around, it could be a huge blowout for us or a nailbiter.

I know, but I’ll take any excuse to complain about how the AD treats us.

I disagree. I think good teams win the close games. I heard the same thing in 2004 when Princeton won 3 league games in OT, another by 2, and a few more my single digits. But you don’t go 13-1 simply by being lucky. And I don’t see how you can say that we’re as good as Princeton this season. Certainly not at this point in the season.

Ok, but we’re more likely to finish 2nd than 5th.

That could happen, IF we can win today, as no one other than Princeton has impressed me so far. How cool would it be if the host school missed the Ivy League Tournament this year?

Reverse of normal here; Yale tightening up when they come close to a tie.
