Senior Pride

In addition to Hill, the weekend was also marked by the great play of a couple of other seniors.

Center Bill Ewing continued his solid inside play in the absence of captain Paul Fisher--sidelined for the season with mononucleosis--this weekend, and shooting guard Mike Beam played a crucial role down the stretch in the victory over Princeton.

Ewing more than held his own against two of the Ancient Eight's best centers, Penn's senior Geoff Owens and Princeton's freshman sensation Chris Young.

In the loss to Penn on Friday, the 6'9 Ewing showcased some impressive low-post moves on the offensive end against the 6'11 Owens, scoring a career-high 14 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the floor. Ewing also blocked three shots on the evening.

Against the extremely talented 6'10 Young, Ewing also had a strong night. He scored 10 points on 3-of-5 shooting, and added 13 rebounds (four offensive) for the game. He also provided a good presence inside, blocking four shots against the Tigers.

Owens and Young were not controlled by any means by Ewing and the Crimson; Owens scored 17 points and Young netted 19 of his own. But despite allowing the two to score, Ewing performed admirably against two of the best the Ivy has to offer.

Hill was not above ribbing his teammate over his outing against Owens. Witness the following dialogue during the post-game press conference.
