Cheap 3 to cut it to 8. Oh well, we'll take it

Nice one! Pity they didn't beat Columbia, or they'd be sitting really pretty right now.

How about that line for Dingle--31 points and no fouls!

5-26 from 3 and they still get that margin.

When Dingle is this dominant, we are very hard to beat at this level

Very impressive interview with Dingle. He’s all about the team, but we knew that when he took a year off of school to keep his Penn eligibility.

Between Dingle and Slajchert, we were completely victorious in the paint...on offense. Defensive rebounding is horrible again, though--that kept Yale in the game.

Was only able to watch the very end, including his crazy bank. Shabbat didn't end until after 5:40.

Jordan is a Soph and just dropped 31 on the preseason favorite. Please put down your analytics and the silly nitpicking and appreciate a talent very rarely seen at this level while he’s still here. He is an elite scorer. And to comment he “still doesn’t know when to shoot”… may I ask what that means to you?

75 points is the magic number for Penn. if we score 75 plus we likely win

Yale’s defense gave us big trouble in the second half. They really pressure all over the court and keep you off balance. SD was right about how we kept our composure. Just like Otto said about good teams winning close games (in response to my claim that Princeton isn’t necessarily better than us), good teams win key possessions. We did that on offense tonight by scoring on the biggest possessions, never allowing Yale to pull even despite all the pressure being on us. This was a test of character, which was essential as we face a bunch of road games.

Every time I'm able to catch a Penn game, Dingle has a dominant performance on the offensive end. I'd like to see better on the defensive end.
This is the type of game Penn would lose a few years ago either due to poor FT shooting or costly TOs against the press. Dingle and Slacker have solved both of those issues.

Ok, but we’re more likely to finish 2nd than 5th.
Very doubtful on that.
At this point, however, Penn at Brown and Penn at Cornell are the games to circle on the calendar. If we win both of those, we are in very good position to make the tourney. If we win only one (or none), 5th place may be in the offing.

You clearly didn't mean to aim that comment to me---I have been a huge supporter of Dingle and did not make that comment.

You really think we’ll be lucky to make the tournament? I don’t get how negative some people are about this team - especially among the stalwarts who jumped on the “Fire Steve” bandwagon after losing at Princeton. We cut an 11 pt. second half deficit to 2 and had 3-4 opportunities to tie or take the lead. That game was far from a disaster, while this one showed tremendous character. We beat the preseason favorites by 8, weathering withering second half pressure and really not playing that great an overall game. Yeah, I think second place is more likely than fifth.

No, he clearly didn’t. You don’t look at analytics any more than I do, which is not at all. He just replied to the last post.

I think that we simply do not know what to expect from this team or Dingle from game to game. We're more than capable of beating any team in the IL, but also more than capable of losing to just about any of them as well.

Correct. I’m actually not trying to be argumentative with anybody. I thoroughly enjoy all perspectives and have learned quite a bit from everyone on here. I’m an old school basketball lifer and sometimes my crusty nature just reverts to the eye test.
