Pennsylvania at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi

It seems like year after year we are seeing Penn or Princeton here from the Ivy League. Penn seems to have taken over for now. Penn has not fared well with past teams in the NCAA tournament, but now they have a veteran class with experience from last year. They drew another Texas team last year, and more than held their own. The numbers from that game would make you think it was a complete blowout. Penn shot 32% and hit just 61% from the line. Texas shot 40% and 86% from the line. Texas destroyed them on the boards 38-18! All that said, Penn led at the half, and was down by one point and had the ball with 5:53 left in the game. Rick Barnes said after the game. "We had a team here that was going to shorten the game, and I'm just glad we will play again." There were just 98 shots taken in the game, and expect the same here. This is a ton of points for a game that ends up with 100 shots or less, and this is a better version of last year's team. They have 3 of the top 4 scorers back from that game, and 123 minutes from that team returns. Penn hangs tough in this one.
