Notes
– McAndrew was Brown’s leading scorer with 15 points on 6-of-10 shooting, including a number of layups are blowing by his defender or getting wide-open in the lane.
– McMahon scored a career high 15 points on 6-of-10 shooting, including 3-of-4 from three-point range. He also pulled down five rebounds, including two on offense.
– Brian Grandieri chipped in 17 points for Penn, shooting 3-for-5 from beyond the arc, grabbing five rebounds, and recording the Quakers’ only blocked shot on the night.
– Penn had an impressive game on the offensive glass, pulling down 16 rebounds at their end of the floor against 17 Brown defensive rebounds — 48.5 percent. At the other end, the Bears seemed disinterested in rebounding, recorded only four offensive rebounds against 21 Quaker defensive rebounds, for 16.0 percent.
– Penn recorded 23 assists on 29 made field goals and committed 12 turnovers, while Brown recorded 12 assists on 23 field goals and committed 13 turnovers.
– Brown shot 56.5 percent from the field in the second half, prompting Glen Miller to once again criticize his team’s defensive effort after the game.
– In his return to the gym he called home for seven years, Miller did not get any discernable reception from the Brown fans during pregame warmups or the starting lineup introductions.
– The Bears will host Princeton (9-8, 0-3 Ivy) on Saturday, February 3 at 7:00 pm ET, while Penn heads to New Haven to face Yale (8-10, 4-1 Ivy) in a 6:00 pm ET start.
