Is that game not tonight or is the board just asleep?

OK, I will say it. Against weak competition as I think Bucknell is picked to finish near the bottom of the Patriot League. But Perkins seems as impressive as Dingle did as a frosh. Look forward to seeing him against the big boys soon.

Quakers off to a great start. My favorite part is that people are working hard on defense, even off-the-ball. People are keeping clearing the paint and the guards are providing good support. Perkins looking really good.
One thing to note is that Bucknell is #349 Pomeroy, compared to Penn at #215. This is a mismatch and Penn is doubling them in score right now 36-18. The part I like is the team is not letting off the gas. They are playing within themselves and playing hard.

Well, I think we can conclude that Penn doesn't completely suck. There have been Penn teams that lose to Delaware State, so making mushmeat of a bad team is nice to see.

Someone in the last game thread said it. Seeing Holland makes you wonder why he was not playing much last year.

Lots of talented freshmen and sophs. And Holland. All guys who want to show they were as good as the guys not there anymore. Next man up.

I was thinking of the really big boys. Houston and Auburn on the road. And Kentucky.

Up 20 at the half. Perkins is doing everything we could ask. He's hitting the three, getting to the basket, defending, and making great passes.
Obviously the competition is a big part of the story here, but I think our team will be better than everyone expects. We have multiple players now who can shoot. Multiple players who have vision and pass well. And multiple players who move and defend well full-time. The effort will keep us in difficult games.
Obviously Villanova will be a tough test for such a young team.

Looked at the St. Johns score from the other night. Jordan had 13 points. 0 assists and rebounds. Ledlum had 16 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists. Oh my.

They play Michigan Monday so that might be a good one to watch. I am anxious to see Jordan play defense. I always got the impression the coaches had him hold back on hat end to avoid fouls.

I watched a chunk of that game. Jordan and Ledlum clearly both looked like they belonged. Jordan was playing off the ball, more of a 2 guard, so no assists was not really a surprise. Looked better on defense than I remembered.

I am interested to see Jordan's development at St. John's. He is clearly athletic enough to play in the Big East. He is a bit of a tweeter, though. He also is unusual in that he is a guard that shoots the three well or goes straight downhill to the hoop. He is very effective at both, but he doesn't have the side-to-side evasiveness that you might like to see in a ball-handling guard.

Oy. I was at that one. Their first win of the year, too.
