Penn basketball memories: The last NCAA win

The Ivies have fared well the last two years in March Madness, with Cornell making its historic Sweet Sixteen run two years ago and Princeton nearly upsetting Kentucky last year. While it's been four years since the Quakers have danced, the last time they actually advanced in the tourney was March 1994. Here's how it went down:

Your favorite Penn basketball memory?

March 1994 Penn vs. Nebraska at the Nassau Coliseum:

Penn was definitely underseeded, while Nebraska, which had just played out of its mind in the Big-8 Tournament, was overseeded. Experts around the country were picking Penn as a 1st round upset pick. The game was over from the first few minutes. The Quakers destroyed Nebraska in every part of the game. It still amazing that they only won by 10. The crowd was going crazy for Penn. I think Billy Packer was calling the game for CBS and he was incredibly impressed.

As the game wore on, he kept saying how they matched up well against Florida in round 2. And, if they could win that game, they had a real chance for the Final Four. By Saturday, many fans were overconfident and had their dreams crushed by the Lon Kruger coached Gators who eventually were the team to make it to the Final Four.

The nicest memory of that game was Jerome Allen's mother running onto the court after the contest and hugging her son. I think that photograph was on the front page of the Philadelphia Daily News.
