Penn U record setting opening

[Hawksfor3]

This is like a high school game mixed in with a JUCO game and a D1 game.

Only the officiating is consistent.

 

[MAKhawks]

He’s hasn’t hit rim in his last four FT attempts.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Good grief he was close to the baseline.

 

[QChawks]

Quaker’s win

 

[Andrewrayhons]

And he does it! PENN IS DANCING!

 

[Hawksfor3]

 

[Ozzie89]

White Jesus did it

 

[GeorgePeeples2]

HOW HAPPY MUST FRAN BE??

(and Margaret, of course)

 

[83Hawk]

And he does it! PENN IS DANCING!

So?

 

[QChawks]

Fran’s fifth team to NCAA

unbelievable

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

Love it. Happy for Fran! Screw Connor and his BS after he was let go but always a Fran fan. 14 seed probably? Awesome they in Dance. Think Fran ties taking most teams to NCAA tournament now as well?

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Good for Fran. Happy for him

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

Fran’s fifth team to NCAA

unbelievable

Master at rebuilding a program just can't get to upper echelon. But it is an amazing accomplishment.

 

[Moral]

Time for the sweet 16 run.

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

Just saw the stat. Fran 2nd all time taking teams to NCAA tournament tied with Alford. How about that.

 

[BringBackBradBanks]

Time for the sweet 16 run.

You got a chance with a guy like Power. But he’s going to have to do that against bigger, better Big Ten/SEC type athletes and better coaches.

 

[kwik44]

Please bay Jesus put Fran against Nebraska first round!

 

[Hawksfor3]

Tearful Fran.

 

[Jayb01]

Pitino had 6. He joins only 3 or 4 others at 5. Sawa graphic earlier today about that.

 

[MAKhawks]

Rick Pitino has the record of six. Fran ties a few others with five.

There is always a chance. Princeton made a Cinderella run a few years back.

 

[Palmerhawk]

Happy for Fran. Helluva coaching job by Fran.
He's now won conference tourney at both BIG and ivy. His alma mater...sweet.

 

[StormHawk42]

Happy for him. Worked out for both parties.

 

[ChicagoHawk2020]

Connor subtweeting if Iowa misses the tournament is inevitable

[MAKhawks]

[Franisdaman]

TJ found a coach who believed in him.

 

[kwik44]

Happy for him. Worked out for both parties.

So much this. Doesn’t work out like that a lot of times.

 

[Franisdaman]

White Jesus did it

 

[Franisdaman]

Fran’s fifth team to NCAA

unbelievable

 

[BringBackBradBanks]

Terrible coaching by Yale’s coaching staff too. They lost that game.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Lunardi had Yale as the 12 seed facing Texas Tech.

 

[StormHawk42]

4 of Fran’s 5 coaching programs are in the dance this year (assuming no Iowa snub).

Lehigh
Siena
Iowa
Penn

 

[Franisdaman]

 

[83Hawk]

Lunardi had Yale as the 12 seed facing Texas Tech.

One and done. Per usual.

[HawkBall23]

I saw the last couple minutes of regulation and all of OT.

I thought the P4 leagues played rough and tumble, but holy shid!

The refs were legit letting those guys do everything but break bones and kill each other.

yeesh!


Really shows where Fran is now as compared to few years ago. Fran of a few years ago would have went 'Francon 20', aka full nuclear meltdown, when his guy was called for traveling after trying to clear space after the rebound and 2 of the Yale guys were reaching in on him.

 

[QChawks]

I hope no one picked Penn to pull the upset

That 44 pt performance took it's toll.
