Id contend they probably had not seen this many good looks before today, hence their lower season %.
Flyers scored 70pts today. Should be plenty to win at home vs any Ivy League team. Our defense was non-existent start to finish. Even when we made a run in the 2nd half, it was because Penn had 2 straight point blank layups that literally crawled off the rim. It wasnt because we slowed them down -- they just barfed bunnies.
Score should have been 70-60 Flyers, not 78-70 Penn. We miss two straight breakaway layups, Penn makes a 3 and a 2 on return trips down court. Nine point swing in 45 seconds. We turn ball over in backcourt on a pick-pocket....floater 2 seconds later for Penn deuce. Four point swing. DD travels in backcourt. Another swing.
Better team won. Better program didnt, but better team did. You let a team shoot .713% EFG and you really have no prayer. Its amazing we kept it as close as we did.
