+/- from the 'Nova game

 

Not much good to say about this game, other than Bernardini's shooting clinic and some improved decision-making on Gaines' part in the second half. Reilly put up a solid 12 points, but grabbed only three boards in 26 minutes; a pathetic number for a forward.

Schreiber's rebounding was excellent (five boards and three blocks in 14 minutes), but he has serious issues being able to stay in games. It always seems like the games where he puts up good numbers are also the games where he can't play big minutes because of foul trouble.

Grandieri was just horrendous, and seemed to be forcing the issue on offense too much. Kach came off a great game at Lafayette by going 1-3 with three turnovers (no assists) in 13 minutes.

Yes, 'Nova is a significantly better team than the Quakers. But Saturday night's performance was very underwhelming. Penn's free throw shooting and 2-PT shooting stunk, and the team still cannot deal with pressure from athletic teams.
