Game 5-Pittsburgh: The good, the bad and the ugly

The Quakers had no surprises falling 58-82 to Pitt Saturday night. Here's a little post-game analysis:

The Good: Miles Cartwright continues to prove that he is going to be something special. He led the Quakers with 22 points, also had a rebound, and assist and a steal. When Penn shot 36.8% from behind the arc, he was not only sinking threes (3-for-4) but he was driving the lane, making shots, and picking fouls.

The Bad: Tyler Bernardini. This was just an all-around lousy night for the senior. 0-for-7 from the floor, 0-for-5 from behind the arc, 0 rebounds, 1 turn over and three fouls. If Bernardini continues to play like this, and Cartwright as he did tonight, I can see the freshman in the starting five sooner than later.

The Ugly: Jerome Allen picked up team technical foul for arguing with the officials — not that it mattered scorewise. Allen also got T'd up last year in Penn's 114-55 blowout by Duke. While a technical is never good, it is encouraging to see the coach a bit more animated on the bench this year.
