The Good: Rob Belcore all over the court. The forward helped turn the momentum of the game. With Penn down 35-33, Belcore stole the ball on back-to-back possessions finishing one with a old-fashioned three-point play and feeding Miles Cartwright for a layup. The two plays capped a quick seven-point run for the Quakers and put the team up for good. Belcore finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds and four steals and was constantly active on the defensive end.

Also Good: Zack Rosen, again. Although the captain had an off-night from distance, Rosen still scored 27 points on 10-for-20 shooting and reaffirmed his status as Ivy Player of the Year favorite. The senior scored of Penn's last 16 points and really was the Quakers' only consistent offensive threat in the second half.

The Bad: 8:45 without scoring a FG. After Henry Brooks hit a short jumper to open the second half, Penn went almost nine minutes without making another field goal. Their only points during that span came from a pair of Belcore free throws.

The Ugly: Zero points off the bench. If you exclude Steve Rennard, who played 30 minutes without scoring, only Penn starters scored the entire game. Tyler Bernardini was held scoreless in ten minutes of action and the rest of the Penn bench was 0-for-4 from the field. The Red and Blue starters will need some support if they hope to win tomorrow at Harvard.
