Penn gets up 6-0 and then gives up 9 in a row....now 11-8 Hartford at the first TO. Far too much offense goes through Spinoso.

Penn 34-24 at the half. Not very impressive but when Dingle is on the court, they have offense. Hartford is not very good, but still has 3-4 players from their NCAA team.

Dingle with his 1000th point with most of 2 years to go---very good shot of 2000 barring injury.

75-55 Penn.
Extended GarBage time--should be fresh for Colgate, which lost to Delaware earlier.

Was anyone actually in the stadium?
Nice to open up the points and get a big win. Congrats to Dingle on 1,000 points, awesome.
Hope we get a bigger home audience tomorrow.

Not many, and there won't be many tomorrow or Sunday. Good to get the deep bench some time.
Hartford missed a lot of open shots

MLL came off the bench at the same time as non-starter Dingle and got some decent run in the first half. He ended up splitting the largest share of minutes at the 5 for the game with Spinoso.
One of my takeaways about his offensive game is that he and all the post guys just aren’t being set up enough for easy scoring opportunities by the guards, in part because we don’t seem to have anyone with true PG passing skills in the rotation. Dingle and Slajchert haven’t shown the greatest ability to feed a guy in the low post from the perimeter in a way that puts the big in scoring position, or when they penetrate an ability or willingness to dump the ball to a big on the weak side for the easy layup or dunk when the D collapses on them. That said, they’re both putting up better assist rates so far than they did last year.
I gather McMullen is the most likely candidate but we haven’t seen enough of him to know if he can fill that role. He did get the start today with Dingle coming off the bench, so will be interesting to see if that experiment continues, with him at the 1 and either Dingle or Slajchert at the 2 with the other scorer subbing in.
Its hard to play the three of them together because it makes them so small on the perimeter, especially with none of them exactly showing themselves to be a standout defensively (again, maybe that’s something McMullen could be but we haven’t seen enough to know).
Interesting to note that we haven’t had a guard lead the team in assist rate since Foreman graduated. Brodeur did his last two years, and then Mosh did last year and again early this year.

McMullen generally has been getting the toughest defensive assignment when he is on the court, FWIW.
In regard to setting up the bigs, we play a lot of high post where the idea is that the bigs set up the guards rather than the other way around. They do some stuff to set up Spinoso with his back to the basket.

This type of guard play is typical of the low IQ guard dominant game so many coaches are relying on currently. MLL rolling to the off the high screen was open multiple times yesterday and not a single guard had any idea it was happening, or if they were they couldn't execute the pass to the roller.
The refusal by coaches to drill this offensive scheme and instead just hand the ball to scoring guards and tell them to cook truly limits how good a team can be. And it's not much fun to watch either.
