00:00I don't think anybody expected Penn to have a whole lot of success either with good old Coach McCaffrey.
00:06So, I think this is now the fifth team or some ridiculous number that he has actually brought to the
00:12tournament.
00:12No longer are the days of Iowa, but now Penn's got to take on Illinois, Coach.
00:18And this is another one of these, what, 21 and a half, 23 and a half?
00:23It's even higher than that now.
00:2525 and a half now.
00:26Illinois is a favorite.
00:28What do we think?
00:29Can the boys at Penn hang with Illinois?
00:33Well, listen, shout out to my good friend, Fran McCaffrey.
00:35I talked to Fran right after the game, and he was just so excited.
00:38That win that took place over Yale.
00:40By the way, Coach Jones, I know Coach Jones as well.
00:43I mean, what they did at the end of that game was criminal in regard to how they coughed up
00:47that game.
00:48You know, calling a timeout, up three, then not fouling, then letting, obviously, T.J. Power, who went nuclear.
00:55And T.J. Power was a big-time player who scored about 20 points, 8.8 rebounds.
00:59To me, the thing that's going to be the struggle for Penn is going to be the ability to stop
01:03Illinois.
01:03This is the Illinois team, Joe.
01:05That's number one in offensive efficiency for most of the country, or most of the season, I should say.
01:10Wagler and Bosler are as good as they get in the backcourt.
01:13But then you have to look at Mikovic in the frontcourt, which gives you about, you know, 16 points and
01:17seven rebounds a game.
01:18Just way too much.
01:20I'm concerned about the spread and that backdoor coverage, Joe, with that big number.
01:27But to me, if you look at anything, you can go with either Illinois first half or just like the
01:31Illinois team total.
01:32I just think they score, and they score at will versus Penn.
01:36If you look at things that come across we can see them present to for no matter.
01:36So, here's Tom you're not?
01:36And I'm looking at, there you go from giving back chose a cool place.
