It’s now been nearly two weeks since Penn decided to rid itself of coach Glen Miller in favor of Jerome Allen, and tonight the 0-7 Quakers play their first game for their interim guy in charge when they play at Davidson. It’s become obvious that Allen’s task will be to restore the Penn-ness to the Penn program, a quality that clearly was lacking under Miller. According to Dan Gelston, the Associated Press’ Philly hoops writer and an all-around good guy, Allen’s approach to instituting that Penn-ness involves a renewed sense of discipline that includes getting after loose balls and even wearing suits and ties on the road. And today’s Inquirer takes a look at the Quakers’ game tonight down at Davidson, though it does incorrectly say the Wildcats (4-8) had beaten Cornell at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 20, when Cornell actually won that game. Tonight’s game tips at 7.
