Penn-Princeton wrap

I hope all two dozen of you who went enjoyed the game last night. Attendance issues aside, it was a great game to watch with plenty of twists and surprises. My recap is here, and three of my colleagues’ takes on the game are here, here and here. A couple other papers chime in here and here.

Since a few people have already inquired about the source of Noah Savage’s technical foul with nine seconds left, I’ll address it. My vision was partly obstructed by another player, but I saw the play.

Savage was smarting from missing an open three-point attempt with 10 seconds to go. It would have put Princeton up 66-64. Instead, Remy Cofield hit two free throws (after Zach Finley’s and Brian Grandieri’s technicals cancelled) to give Penn a 66-63 lead. As Savage and Jack Eggleston took their positions for the next inbounds play, Savage threw something — an arm, an elbow perhaps — at Eggleston. Both players knew it was a ‘T’ right away. Eggleston hit one free throw. Four-point Penn lead; ballgame.

Around the Ivies, Phil Kasiecki of Hoopville offers an Ivy notebook today, the Sun writes about Cornell’s success at the free-throw line and the Ithaca Journal is already looking ahead. In the Big 5, the Inquirer tries to bring some closure for ‘Nova fans still sore over that iffy loss to Georgetown.

Temple notes

Andrew Scurria

There were roster changes aplenty last night against Temple. The obvious one was the return of Harrison Gaines. He played well for 10 minutes, and with eight days off before Harvard we have no reason to think he won’t be 100 percent by then.

Ironically, in Gaines’ first game back since NJIT, Kevin Egee played his cleanest game yet, logging 29 minutes without a turnover.

Andreas Schreiber benefited from the presence of Temple 7-footer Sergio Olmos. As Penn’s best interior defender along with Cameron Lewis and Jack Eggleston, Schreiber was a logical choice to stay on the floor for more time than normal. Justin Reilly, who usually gets more minutes that Schreiber, played just 4, and Eggleston played 33 minutes in his best game so far.
