Penn-Princeton halftime report

Hello from the Palestra. The wireless here is not being friendly tonight, but I was able to use the media room's ethernet to give you some halftime stats. I'll have a final report once the game ends. The score at the break is Princeton 27 Penn 25.

Penn's three seniors started the game, and its leading scorers are Kevin Egee (6) and Justin Reilly (5). Princeton has gotten 7 each from guard Dan Mavraides and center Pawel Buczak.

Field goals: Penn 10-24 (41.7%), Princeton 11-26 (42.3%)

Three-pointers: Penn 4-9 (44.4%), Princeton 2-9 (22.2%)

Turnovers: Penn 8, Princeton 5

Free throws: Penn 3-3, Princeton 1-2

Assists: Penn 8, Princeton 8

Rebounds: Penn 20, Princeton 9

Overall, a very even game apart from the rebounding battle. Penn has done a great job of avoiding the Tigers' box-outs and keeping plays alive, getting three-point attempts after several of its nine(!) offensive rebounds. That was the key to the Quakers' victory at Princeton earlier this year, and their best chance tonight is to convert more of those second chances into points.
