In response to SomeGuy
We'll agree to disagree here. At least for the first 10+ minutes, most of Penn's possessions were in the low post/inside. There was repeated body contact on shots up close--these were not ticky tack fouls out on the perimeter. No fouls were called, both on misses and where an "and 1" was in order.
So Princeton got to have its cake and eat it, too. Deny the 3 and be allowed to play as physical as it wanted inside without getting called for any foul violations.
I think it was something like 12 minutes before there was any foul called on Princeton, and at some point the discrepancy was something like 5 to 1.
This hurt Penn a lot more than Princeton simply because Princeton did not rely on the inside game nearly as much as Penn did.
In any event, as the game wore on there were more bad forced shots by Penn, so this was not a game long dynamic. But Penn deserved better early on--if nothing else to at least get a few Tigers in foul trouble.
