Game 29: Brown - The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Recap: Penn beats Brown 54-43 for sixth straight win
The Good: Tyler Bernardini with game-changing effort. Although it's no secret that Bernardini has been hurt, he played one of his best games in weeks. From diving all over the floor to two dagger threes, Bernardini played with the heart of a fifth-year senior who is doing everything in his power to finish his season in the NCAA Tournament.
The Bad: Trailing at halftime. The Quakers have tended to play to their level of competition throughout the season and tonight was no exception. Penn trailed in the first half, 22-24, as the team only shot 10-for-27 in the first period. Trailing for much of the game may take a toll on their bodies as they will have to play another two games in four days.
The Ugly: Bernardini has a rebound stolen away from him. After Dockery Walker missed a ten-footer with 10:07 remaining in the second half, Bernardini grabbed the board only to have it taken right out of his hands by Walker. The Brown forward put in a layup to cut the Bears' deficit to one. After the game, coach Jerome Allen would say that he forgave Bernardini after he dove out of bounds to save a ball underneath the Bears' basket on the following series.
