In some ways, this is the most linear Ivy matchup, as it is fairly clear (I think) who guards who for Penn. I assume Smith guards Swain, which should be key. Williams might have a tough time with Gabbidon.

Going the other way, I’m not as certain of how Yale generally defends, but I would guess Gabiddon guards Dingle. Weirdly, this could be a good matchup for Penn in the sense that Yale may not gameplan for Dingle the way some others have, because they may think they have a guy who can stay with him (Brown may have thought something similar).

I do think Yale is vulnerable to size. So I suspect Spinoso gets a shot at some point. I am also curious to see whether Mosh can effectively get into his bag of tricks against Kelly. This is a weird team for Jones. For like 20 years he stuck to playing 2 bigs even as nearly everyone else changed it up. And now suddenly he plays all guards and wings.

this game boils down to two related factors: Penn's ability to get open looks and threes and to hit them.

This will be a tough task because Yale defends the three well. Fortunately, they are not a good offensive rebounding team, a major Penn vulnerability.

Interestingly, in their first two conference games, Yale has a 30% offensive rebounding rate, good for second in the Ivy League. Granted, quite a bit of that was due to playing Cornell, who is an awful defensive rebounding team, but it's worth noting.

Oh, we have a game today. 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. Sigh.

Unbelievably, only 2 home games left after this one. 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.

Game is on NBC Sports Philadelphia for those in the area and ESPN+ for everyone else who feels like sitting inside their living room for the last couple of hours of daylight on a winter's day. I might be in the woods with the dog, but who knows.

Do we think they’ll allow Palestra crowds for the February games?

All one of them? (Harvard) Doubt it. But am hopeful given the numbers going down sharply and more and more scientific observers saying the pandemic is nearly over (although we will have to live with Covid going forward).

The numbers are rapidly going down. If the pro closure people want to retain any credibility, they’d be wise to remove the restrictions as quickly as they institute.

Having said that, we are coming off a high peak and I can’t get too upset if they let two more weeks.

Besides p38, they are just saving you money you were lighting on fire going to these games

Yes, they recouped for me about $500 I was burning, that is true. Still, I would go to the game today and the remaining two--Y-H-Pr--if I could

Penn (inexplicably) is -1 (-115) in this game. Data says they should be at least +2.5. Is there another injury or absence at Yale I don't know about?

It's a pick em on my site. I put a couple bucks on Yale so will be happy either way the outcome goes.

Watching some of the Harvard and Princeton games. There really is a lot of parity in the league this year.

And injuries
Today’s, lineups may not resemble those at the end of the season, and it seems to vary week by week

You can always dvr the NBC Sports Philadelphia broadcast or watch the ESPN+ feed on demand this evening. That will give you the extra benefit of a reason to ignore this board for the next few hours.
