Game 10: Villanova - The Good, Bad and Ugly

In the second-half, the Quakers made things interesting — just not interesting enough as Penn dropped its second Big 5 game this year to Villanova Saturday night, 73-65.

The Good: Marin Kukoc and Cam Gunter both showed good 6th-man potential (Kukoc for the second-straight game), combining for 13 points (seven for Kukoc, six for Gunter). While Kukoc's 3-for-9 stat-line (including 1-for-6 from three) is nothing to be excited about, the shots he made had a relatively high degree of difficulty. Gunter was able to find some open space down low and get three easy baskets in the second half.

The Bad: Penn's 20 first-half points were a season low. The Quakes shot 29.2 percent from the field before the break — a whopping 0-for-9 from downtown. It all added up to an 18-point deficit that Penn couldn't overcome despite beating Villanova by 10 in the second half.

The Ugly: Villanova's no-sign policy. The Red and Blue Crew had their Big 5 rollouts confiscated as they entered the Pavilion last night, which is simply lame. Apparently this isn't the first time it has happened, either. This is one of the best traditions in Philly sports, and considering the declining interest in the conference, all five schools should be making an effort to encourage students' involvement.
