looks like they have Self’s attention
“We were able to work quite a bit on Penn in guarding their actions. They do it differently than anybody we play.”
He added of Penn: “I was really surprised when they showed up on the 16 line and after watching them (on film), surprise went to anger because they are not (a 16 seed). I was told by somebody yesterday we are the least-favored 1 over a 16 team in the history of the tournament.
They could beat us. They have good enough players. They can shoot it. They defend extremely well, don’t give up easy baskets, don’t give up threes. They run stuff like you’d anticipate a typical Ivy League school to run if you think of Princeton with the Ivy League and when Steve (Donahue, Penn coach) was at Cornell — a lot of dribble back cuts, screen away back cuts, a lot of things nobody in our league does. It’s a quick prep, but they have our attention."
