No idea on Holland, but I will make some guesses. Brown getting healthy added a player to the mix, and at least for the last two games that has pushed Holland out. I do think we’ve happened to get two straight against opponents where the matchup on paper called for Smith at the 4. The problem I am having is that sometimes playing mismatches works, and I thought yesterday was a day to try a mismatch more. I guess the offense was running on all cylinders and Steve didn’t want to mess with that, but I would have liked to try a little more length on D (weird that Holland would be a “big” option at the 4) to see if we could get some more stops, particularly when we had the lead.
I will throw Holland into my recent comments on Thrower — the defense has gotten much, much worse as we have played both guys less. May be a coincidence and/or something that would be happening even if they were playing more.

Doesn't look like a travel to me....aside from the fact that they would never call it there off a dribble. Just bad luck for us.

Penn v La Salle

In response to Chip Bayers
BTW, they’re claiming 15K attendance yesterday, which is the most laughable lie.
The only thing I can imagine is that they sold 7500 seats to Villanova fans who thought they would be in the night game, and didn’t show because they also had tickets to their football playoff game.

First of all, nooners saying that there were ever 15,000 there at any time. The crowd was fluid depending on who was on the court.
Second, I heard that they did not let the schools return unsold tix. Don’t know how many of them there were but that would contribute to the large “crowd” total.

I saw both Dick Weiss and AP writer Aaron Bracy on Twitter appear to take the 15K as actual attendance, not tickets sold.
