Danley vs. the World, Round Two

If for some reason you're reading The Buzz right now instead of watching Midnight Madness on ESPN, here's some validation for your decision. Check out this post by Penn's own Stephen Danley on the Tournament blog of The New York Times. (Danley also went on the record earlier this year to dispel wrongful notions about Ivy League basketball, albeit in a publication with a more modest circulation.)

Danley was hampered by injury this year and didn't put up the huge senior-year stats that his fellow captains did. But for a guy who really turned it around towards the end of the conference season, a bigger forum for his thoughts was probably in order anyway.

The only comment I can make is about the team's effort to get the phrase "break bread" into articles as a joke. As far as I can tell -- using a less-than-stellar search engine -- the DP never used one of those quotes in a basketball article. But I may have found the source. Glen Miller actually used the phrase last April when he was introduced as Penn's head coach.

Coincidence, or not?

I'll have the answer for you later this week.
