Notes
– Grandieri was the game’s leading scorer with 20 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field, including 1-of-4 from three-point range and a perfect 7-of-7 from the foul line. He also pulled down five rebounds, dished out four assists, and grabbed one steal.
– The Citadel was led in scoring by freshman forward Austin Dahn, who finished the night with 18 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field, including 4-of-5 from three-point range. On the whole, the Bulldogs made 11 of 17 three-point attempts — a sizzling 64.7 percent from deep.
– Penn finally enjoyed a good shooting night from the field, converting 33 of its 57 field goal attempts (57.9 percent) including 9 of its 19 three-point shots (47.4 percent). The Quakers also shook off their recent free throw shooting woes, making 18 of 22 attempts (81.8 percent) from the line.
– Penn recorded assists on a whopping 30 of its 33 baskets.
– The Bulldogs caused problems on the offensive glass, grabbing 43.2 percent of the caroms at their own end and notching 14 second-chance points. The Quakers didn’t miss many shots, but when they did they were less effective at getting their own rebounds, grabbing 32.0 percent offensively and scoring just four second-chance points.
– Penn will be back in action on Friday, November 23, when it faces Virginia in the late game of the Philly Classic quadruple header at The Palestra, with a 9:00 pm ET approximate tip time.
