Who gives a damn about all the rebounding - it's a garbage stat in game like this, driven by two teams who shot the ball like shit. I asked a question and a poster was nice enough to find the last time which was 6 years ago. I thought it might have been a heck of a lot longer than that. It seems to me this doesn't happen very often. Sorry if my curiosity offended you. Thanks Hykos for your point about second chance points and the importance of winning the battle of the glass.

Only positive I can take from this. At the end of the year, bad teams lose games like this and good ones win. I agree, the win itself is probably the only positive, but that positive is like 99% of all we need to care about. There's no style points when you're a mid-major trying to avoid the dreaded "bad loss".

The ritualistic blaming of the officials tweaked me, and I misread this to be glossing over the more important issues. Agreed, interesting nonetheless.

No such thing as a bad win.... Yeah there is.......when you're supposed to crush someone, but you barely win.............that's a bad win.

Why would anyone expect this team, who we’ve seen almost none of this year yet, and struggled all year last year to “crush” someone?
This is the whole problem I keep going back to with inflated offseason expectations.
We won, we’re 2-0. Critique all you want, but maybe spare the pearl clutching.

I never said that the Penn game was supposed to be a "crushing." I said there IS such a thing as a bad win.

At the end of the season there are two columns that matter most wins and losses. Last I checked, no team in any sport ever gave back "bad" wins or counted them as anything other than wins.

There's no such thing as a bad win for La Salle unless you're including injuries.

There's no such thing as a bad win for La Salle unless you're including injuries. Or if the wedding band is playing.

There's no such thing as a bad win for La Salle unless you're including injuries. Big 5 Wins are big especially meaningful for many of Alum and particularly old timers. Got a call from my 92 yr old father now a nursing home resident right after the game finished. I am not sure how he managed the phone given medical issues. He watched the game and he was ecstatic. These games are special.

Right? And yet this board was still 50% whining.

An ugly win is still a win. I'd take 20 ugly wins over a loss any day. Although it would be very nerve-racking to watch.

Penn was beating Navy by 30+ last i saw. No idea the level of talent at Navy but to beat any team that badly is usually a sign of at least a decent team....

Feels so good to get the Penn win and Steve Donahue whistling exploits over with already. That whistle, oh no, cede thy whistle. Now let's beat Southie Bama and enjoy that Famous Dave's spread.
