3 true freshman starting in our 2nd regular season game is wild.

I too think Zens is next up with the commitment to Vaaks coming off bench. LOVE Zens and such a great fit as a complimentary player on this offense

I like how he fits. A Davis type glue guy. He has good court vision. For such veteran team, we are going to play 4 freshmen significant minutes.

Looking forward to hopefully getting a Jake Davis update today during the pregame press coverage... Hope he's doing alright

Suspected separation as opposed to dislocation as soon as it happened. The contact did not suggest dislocation. I have dislocated mine several times over the years but unsure if one is quicker to recover from than the other.

Separation is typically less severe, but he had surgery so there must have been a tear in addition to just separation. Expect him to be out for 3 months or so.

His reaction to the injury tells me there is a tear. Hope for a speedy recovery!

Lincoln Williams is going to get some major minutes in Jake's absence.

Yes, this is not going to be a runaway. The top of the Ivy League has some pretty fair teams and Penn is one of them. We better be ready to play. This is not a game to just feel like we can flip a lineup out there and it'll be a runaway. We still have games like that on our schedule, this just isn't one of them.

The score from the NCAA tourney, last year, was 105-70 in favor of the good guys. We return (healthy) 27 of those points. Penn returns 57.

Lets not get carried away here, the analytics sites give us 95-98% chance of winning.

Illinois will be a 20+ point favorite, even with the injuries.
