I hope all two dozen of you who went enjoyed the game last night. Attendance issues aside, it was a great game to watch with plenty of twists and surprises. My recap is here, and three of my colleagues' takes on the game are here, here and here. A couple other papers chime in here and here.

Since a few people have already inquired about the source of Noah Savage's technical foul with nine seconds left, I'll address it. My vision was partly obstructed by another player, but I saw the play.

Savage was smarting from missing an open three-point attempt with 10 seconds to go. It would have put Princeton up 66-64. Instead, Remy Cofield hit two free throws (after Zach Finley's and Brian Grandieri's technicals cancelled) to give Penn a 66-63 lead. As Savage and Jack Eggleston took their positions for the next inbounds play, Savage threw something -- an arm, an elbow perhaps -- at Eggleston. Both players knew it was a 'T' right away. Eggleston hit one free throw. Four-point Penn lead; ballgame.

Around the Ivies, Phil Kasiecki of Hoopville offers an Ivy notebook today, the Sun writes about Cornell's success at the free-throw line and the Ithaca Journal is already looking ahead. In the Big 5, the Inquirer tries to bring some closure for 'Nova fans still sore over that iffy loss to Georgetown.
