The Franimal Returns To The B1G Game Thread

Go Penn, F Rutgers.

Uh oh. This is gonna be another bowl game thread…

I guess the officials are still letting big ten team rough up Fran's players without calling fouls. I guess some things don't change.

Penn is 300th in the country defensively in KenPom, Rutgers is terrible

Penn up 33-29 at the half. Go Fran go! Earlier the announcers were talking about how Rutgers is 1-6 in their last seven games.............. seriously??? Maybe they should have hired Fran.

Tough one point loss for Fran. I did not watch…any tomato face Fran moments?

Funny how Fran has never figured out of important D is in keeping a team in every game. Why is it that a team either has to be really good on O or on D. Why can't most teams be dominant on both. It's weird. I suppose it may come down to who you are playing if only loading up offensive players.

Yea, the Rutger's player pretty much hit a last second 3 to win, leaving 0.6 or 0.9 sec on the clock. Back-breaker.

Not just defense, but specifically 3pt defense has been such a weakness to fran. Did Penn do some full court press?

IMO, it was just a good last second shot to win the game. And, Penn had a player miss two out of four free throws in the last 10-20 seconds so they could and should have closed the door there.

I didn't watch the whole game but Penn's defense didn't stick out like a sore thumb to me. And with the score in the 60's that would suggest they were playing some at least decent defense. Penn lead for a lot of the game and Rutgers really should have no business leaving them in the game like they did.
