Game 6-UMBC: The Good, Bad and Ugly

 

Penn improved to 3-3 with the win over UMBC Tuesday night and is now headed to the Meadowlands to spar with Army before Duke and Butler rematch the NCAA title in the nightcap. My thoughts from last night:

The Good: A win. After getting drubbed at Pitt (though they beat the spread!) the Quakers could have continued to slide against a physical UMBC team, but they turned things around, thanks largely to Miles Cartwright, and most importantly, if they can pick up another 'W' Saturday, they'll be riding a modest win streak heading into their first Big Five game of the year: No. 12 Villanova.

The Bad: Little production from the big men. Andreas Schreiber played just seven minutes and turned the ball over twice and his replacement, freshman Fran Dougherty, had two turnovers and two points. Eli Cohen will wax poetic on the topic in tomorrow's DP, so pick it up for more.

The Ugly: Attendance was a meek 1,555. I don't expect much on a Tuesday night as finals approach, but this was pretty sad looking. On the plus side, Red and Blue Crew leader Justin Chang dressed in full Red and Blue body paint, though according to a source, he only went all out in anticipation of a small crowd seeing him.
