After trailing 32-17 at halftime and 53-35 with 7:35 to play, the Penn men's basketball team completed a thrilling comeback to win 70-62 in overtime over archrival Princeton. Eric Osmundson hit a pair of free throws to reach the first tie of the game after 0-0 and send the game into overtime at 56, capping a 21-3 run. Penn took its first lead of the game with a Ibby Jaaber bucket and then after the Tigers tied it, the Quakers went ahead for good with a Jan Fikiel three-pointer. The win was sealed with a Tim Begley three that he banked in with a minute to play. The Red and Blue improves to 5-0 in the Ivy League while Princeton drops to 1-4.
