Harvard (4-1)
Harvard dominated Houston on Nov. 25, winning 84-63 behind 24 points and 10 rebounds from Wesley Saunders. Steve Moundou-Missi added 14 points and 14 boards. The Crimson were tested to a far greater extent on Saturday against UMass, but Saunders’ 27 points led Tommy Amaker’s squad to a 75-73 victory.
Yale (6-2)
Yale had a busy second weekend, playing three games in as many days. The Bulldogs continued their hot start to the season with a weekend sweep, beating UIC, Illinois State and Kent State. Star forward Justin Sears scored 45 points over the three contests. Yale lost for just the second time this year on the road against Providence on Friday, but that game was sandwiched between two more wins at the expense of Lafayette and Hartford.
Princeton (2-5)
Spencer Weisz put up 22 points, but Hans Brase and the rest of the Tigers struggled on Nov. 22 as Princeton fell 79-68 to Incarnate Word. Princeton also dropped games against UTEP and San Diego before getting a much needed win against San Jose State on Sunday.
Dartmouth (1-3)
Connor Boehm’s three at the buzzer gave Dartmouth a victory over IPFW, but the Big Green got a taste of their own medicine in their next game when Daniel Dion’s shot in the final seconds gave New Hampshire a 65-63 win over its in-state rivals.
Columbia (4-1)
Columbia has looked good in its recent matchups, beating Lehigh 54-44 on Nov. 23 before beating Fairleigh Dickerson two days later with a score of 57-47. Jeff Coby had 16 points off the bench in the first contest, while Kyle Castlin led the way with 19 in the second matchup. After a few days off, the Lions beat American in the Big Apple on Saturday behind 20 points from Maodo Lo.
Cornell (4-4)
Cornell lost a couple of nail-biters last weekend, falling 72-71 to Penn State and then 61-59 to Drexel. Galal Cancer averaged 14 points per contest, but it wasn’t enough to help the Big Red pull out a win in either game. Cornell may have found its footing this weekend, however, after the squad managed to notch wins against Canisius and Binghamton.
Brown (3-5)
Brown was abused on defense in its second week, giving up 78 points in a 12-point loss to Indiana State before allowing 89 in a 21-point beatdown at the hands of Illinois. Leland King had 25 points in the first game, while Steven Spieth, who averaged a whopping 37.5 minutes over the two contests, poured in 21 in the second game. The Bears then allowed 79 points in a Thanksgiving loss to Austin Peay, but the squad bounced back with wins over Prairie View and Johnson & Wales.
Penn basketball has gotten off to an inauspicious start to the 2014-15 season, losing all five of its games. The Quakers are one of 14 winless teams left in the NCAA, having suffered some close defeats to Delaware State, Lafayette and Wagner. The Red and Blue also rank 278th out of 351 Division I teams in Ken Pomeroy’s College Basketball Rankings, but they are also not far behind fellow Ivy squads Cornell, Brown and Dartmouth.
With that in mind, our editors look at what Penn needs to improve upon in the rest of nonconference play.
Senior Sports Editor Steven Tydings : After traveling to Wagner on Saturday, there is one thing that sticks out like a sore thumb: turnovers. In the first three games of the year, the Quakers averaged just over 14 turnovers a game, cutting two turnovers off their pace from last season.
But against Temple and Wagner this past week, Penn gave away the ball a whopping 41 times with junior captain Tony Hicks committing 12 of those turnovers. This simply won’t cut it. Coach Jerome Allen rightfully pointed out after the Wagner game that the Red and Blue’s 14 first-half turnovers against the Seahawks — which prevented Penn from extending its lead early on — likely made the difference in the close defeat.
Some of this is natural. You have two freshman point guards — Antonio Woods and Darnell Foreman — playing significant minutes and are overly reliant on Hicks to create offense. As Woods and Foreman get more games under their belt, they’ll surely be better with the ball, which will in turn create less pressure on Hicks.
But all of this needs to come sooner rather than later with Princeton looming just 41 days in the future.
Sports Editor Colin Henderson : There’s no question about it, Steven. Turnovers are a huge problem facing the Quakers, but I suspect that with experience, it should become less and less of an issue. However, one problem that I believe should give the Red and Blue more reason for concern is the disparity between their three-point shooting and that of their opponents.
Five games into the season, Penn is shooting a pedestrian 28.6 percent from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, their opposition has found considerably more success, shooting a very respectable 39.4 percent from downtown.
I realize that it’s a small sample size, but the Quakers’ struggles shooting the three are indicative of a larger problem: their inability to get easy buckets. Moving forward, they would be wise to play more inside-out basketball, running their offense through Darien Nelson-Henry and taking some pressure off of Hicks and Woods.
On the other side of the ball, stronger defense behind the arc will come from tighter defensive rotations, and that will only come with time and experience.
Sports Editor Holden McGinnis : We’ve been saying it all season long, but Penn is still in search of that second consistent scoring option behind Hicks. Whether it’s Nelson-Henry, Matt Howard or one of the freshman, someone needs to step up into that role and take the pressure off Hicks. Sure, you can come close in games where he drops 30, but this is an offense that too often falls back on his pull-up jumper.
Howard has started to play more aggressively — particularly in the past two games — and was a player we highlighted before the season as someone who could rise into that role. As the season continues, it will be interesting to see how he develops and whether he can replicate his performance from Temple.
Nelson-Henry has shown some of the flashes of brilliance that we’ve seen the past two years, but it’s difficult to rely on a big as one of your primary scorers — particularly when the center is getting double-teamed regularly.
Either way, this is a Penn team that isn’t quite as bad as its 0-5 record seems. For a team with four freshmen (when healthy) as integral parts of the rotation, there is certainly a steep learning curve. It comes down to better play-calling and execution. When plays break down, there needs to be someone other than Hicks to turn to. Turn around a few plays this year, and the Quakers could have multiple wins.
Penn basketball has shaken off that Thanksgiving slumber and is taking Staten Island, N.Y. for the day. The Quakers (0-4) are searching for their first win, facing a Wagner squad that is 1-3 on the season. Follow Ian Wenik and I for the live action.
Live Blog Liveblog | Penn basketball (0-4) at Wagner (1-3)
After coaching at Penn for 23 years, long-time assistant coach Jim Schaefer is retiring, according to CSN reporter Dave Zeitlin.
Schaefer, Penn's defensive line coach, had coached under Al Bagnoli for 33 years, dating back to Bagnoli's 10-year stint as Union (N.Y.) football's head coach. With Bagnoli set to retire, Schaefer appears to be on his way out as well.
Zeitlin also spoke to Bagnoli, who said he will move into a job in the athletic administration in a few weeks. But for now, he was still watching game film.
Penn women’s basketball faces some stiff competition on Tuesday, taking on a New Hampshire squad that has yet to lose this season. The 3-0 Wildcats just finished a victory over Brown, which the Quakers defeated twice last season. Here are three keys to victory if Penn wants to move to 3-1 before Thanksgiving break.
1. Contain Elizabeth Belanger: The junior guard has been a force for New Hampshire early on this season, averaging 23 points a game while playing in two of the Wildcats’ three contests. A second-team All-America East selection last season, Belanger seems to have taken her game to the next level, particularly in a 27-point effort against Howard. If Penn wants to hand New Hampshire its first loss on the season, it will be on the Quakers’ suffocating defense to contain Belanger.
2. Find an offensive leader: In Penn’s first victory of the season, Sydney Stipanovich led the way with 15 points, but the game was much more about defense than offense. The second victory came in large part thanks to the offensive fury of junior guard Keiera Ray. Whether it is Stipanovich, Ray, senior captain Kara Bonenberger or someone else, the Red and Blue will need to have a player take over the offensive load in the way that Alyssa Baron did last season.
3. Win on the glass: Outside of a matchup with No. 4 Tennessee, the Red and Blue have outrebounded opponents by an average of 9.5 boards per game on the early season. The Wildcats, on the other hand, have beaten their opponents on the glass by 8.3 boards per contest after struggling with rebounding margin last season. With Bonenberger, Stipanovich, senior Katy Allen and others in the post, Penn has made its mark in the paint in its last two victories and will need to continue doing so.
For the past few years, junior Thomas Awad has starred for Penn track and cross country and turned a lot of heads with his racing abilities.
But that’s not the only thing he’s turning heads with.
From his signature scraggly beard to a variety of different arrangements, Awad has been consistently on point with his facial hair choices.
This past weekend at Nationals, not only did he fight through a mid-race Achilles injury to achieve All American status with a 27th place finish, but he also got recognized for his spectacular style.
Sporting a mustache for cross country Nationals’ #StachiesatNachies, Awad — pictured above with senior Conner Paez — got some love from U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
It will be a while until we see Awad back on the track, so let’s hope he takes the time to change up his style once again.
After a strong week for Penn basketball, freshman Mike Auger is getting the attention he deserves.
The freshman forward was named Ivy League Rookie of the Week in the Ancient Eight's weekly press release after playing well in his second and third collegiate games.
Auger couldn't find the back of the net in Penn's season opener against Delaware State but he was able to score in bunches this past week. Against Rider, Auger notched 10 points while adding eight rebounds as well. Coach Jerome Allen said that the coaching staff highlighted his effort in locker room after the game.
But Auger would continue to highlight his own performance in a big way against Lafayette, adding a team-high 18 points and nine rebounds to the Quakers' efforts. Auger had five offensive boards, showing his tenacity on the offensive glass.
“I thought he was phenomenal,” Allen said of Auger's Saturday performance. “He went after every offensive rebound ... Some of the mistakes he made I can live with because his effort and energy are always present.
“He brought us a lot in the second half, just with his relentlessness, whether it was at the top of the press or whether it was going after every live ball.”
Now Auger and the Red and Blue will look to pick up their first win this week, facing Temple and Wagner on the road.
Penn women's basketball's sophomore center continues to take in Ivy League honors.
After being named Ivy League Defensive Player and Rookie of the Year last season, Stipanovich was named Ivy Co-Player of the Week with Princeton's Blake Dietrick.
Stipanovich contributed heavily to the Quakers' two victories last week. She had an impressive 15-point, 15-rebound effort in Penn's 57-29 win over La Salle before notching eight points, eight rebounds and four blocks against Navy.
The honor was her fifth Ivy Player of the Week award in her career.
Stipanovich and the Red and Blue have one game this week: a Tuesday evening matchup at the Palestra with 3-0 New Hampshire.
Penn (0-3) fell behind early against a polished Lafayette squad and entered halftime facing a 15-point deficit. However, the Quakers surged back in the second frame and got the lead within two points midway through the half before ultimately squandering an opportunity to secure its first win of the season against the Leopards (3-1). A couple of impressive individual performances for the Red and Blue provided a silver lining in a game featuring far too many defensive breakdowns.
THE GOOD
Tony Hicks looked uncharacteristically like a younger Steve Nash tonight, racking up 13 assists and just two turnovers on his way to tying the program record for assists in a single game. The entire offense ran through Hicks, and his willingness to be a playmaker allowed Penn to mount a valiant comeback in the second half, even if it fell short.
THE ALSO GOOD
Freshman forward Mike Auger played like anything but a rookie as he took apart the Lafayette defense by cutting to the basket and pulling down five offensive rebounds. Auger finished with 18 points on 7-for-10 shooting and hit all four of his free throw attempts. If that weren’t enough, he gave the Palestra the biggest thrill of the season thus far when he stole the ball and finished with a vicious one-handed slam that cut the Lafayette lead to just two points with 9:28 remaining in game.
THE BAD
Penn already ranked dead last in the Ivy League in points allowed per game after conceding 77 and 73 points in its first two games, and giving up 83 points to Lafayette doesn’t help its case. It probably won’t matter how many assists Hicks dishes out or offensive rebounds Auger brings down if the Quakers continue to give up 77.7 points per game this season.
THE UGLY
The Red and Blue also sit at last in the Ancient Eight in free throw percentage at 56.6 percent. Only two Ivy League squads have shot worse than 70 percent this season, and only Penn shoots less than 60 percent. Tonight the Quakers finished the night at 7-for-14, or 50 percent. To make matters worse, free throw shooters not named Mike Auger shot 3-for-10. If it plans on adding to the win column, Penn can’t afford to miss out on points at the charity stripe any longer.

What is the rest of the Ivy League up to in men's hoops so far? We take a look at how each Ancient Eight squad started out the week.
Harvard
The Crimson easily dispatched Florida Atlantic on Thursday night despite a miserable shooting night from Siyani Chambers (two points). Wesley Saunders led the way with 19 as Harvard won by a score of 71-49, easily overcoming the disappointing Holy Cross result from last week.
Yale
Yale absolutely destroyed Newbury on Monday, holding the Nighthawks to just 51 points on 27 percent shooting en route to a 97-51 victory. Jack Montague and Sam Downey each had 18 points in a game in which Yale was able to get its starters out early.
Columbia
Columbia started out strong against Wagner on Tuesday night and never looked back, earning a 70-56 win in the Big Apple. Kyle Castlin had 18 points, and the Lions shot 87 percent as a team from the stripe.
Dartmouth
Alex Mitola had 16 for the Big Green, but it wasn't enough, as Dartmouth dropped a close game at Hartford, losing 53-48 on Wednesday.
Princeton
The Tigers got 19 points from Spencer Weisz and 17 from Hans Brace, but couldn't hang with Lafayette in the second half, scoring just 22 points after the intermission on their way to an 83-66 loss.
Cornell
Cornell got itself a nice 58-52 win against Colgate on Tuesday behind 21 points from Devin Cherry, but were run off the court by South Carolina, losing 69-45 in Charleston on Thursday.
Brown
Cedric Kuakumensah struggled on Monday, as the Bears lost to Northwestern at home, 69-56. He played very well on Wednesday (20 points), as did Leland King (25), but Brown was defeated once again, falling 80-65 on the road to Holy Cross.
In preparation for Penn basketball game against Lafayette on Saturday, I had the opportunity to speak with Leopards captain, forward Seth Hinrichs. As a senior, Hinrichs has played at the Palestra before and knows that defeating Penn at that venue will be a tough task but believes his team has the right game plan. Lafayette is coming off a win over Princeton on Wednesday.
Daily Pennsylvanian: This is the beginning of a three game road trip for Lafayette. How are you guys planning to stop Penn on Saturday and start this road trip on the right foot?
Seth Hinrichs: I think being good defensively. In that game [on Wednesday] against Princeton, we came out and gave up too many wide open shots so it’s just limiting Penn’s shooters and contesting shots and that will get us on the right track hopefully.
DP: You guys have been out-shooting your opponents. The team has a shooting percentage of .500 and the opposition converts only 37 percent shooting. How much of that is credited to the defense?
SH: The first two games we played we used zone against Robert Morris and West Virginia. … [On Wednesday] Princeton shot about 50 percent when we played man so I think we need to shore up our man defense and prove that a little bit going forward so we can continue to get better.
DP: Defensively, the team has had a lot of trouble grabbing rebounds. For every 3 defensive rebounds that they get, they let up 2 offensive rebounds. How do you change that?
SH: We’ve been emphasizing defensive rebounding and defense as a whole all preseason. And going forward from the first few games here, we know that we need to keep it up defensively so I think emphasizing it in practice, continuing to work on it and getting better each day. I think we made some strides, but we need to get better in that area.
DP: On offense, the points have been coming from the entire starting five. How important is that going up against a good defensive team like Penn?
SH: We need to continue to move the ball. We know we have a lot of capable scorers. And we know how tough Penn is and how tough it is to play at the Palestra. We need to move the ball and not take a good shot but a great shot, whether it’s a wide open three or a layup or whatever it may be we need to work all around the court on offense.
DP: How important has sophomore Nick Lindner been to this team’s success? He leads the team in minutes and is in second for points per game.
SH: He’s huge. We kind of go as he goes … He hasn’t really had as much pressure on him this year and it’s really showing. He’s playing more relaxed out there. His leadership has gotten a lot better too. And his play has shown, as a result, how well he’s done so far.
DP: Penn’s top scorer and hot hand at the moment is guard Tony Hicks. How is the team planning on stopping him?
SH: I think it’s going to be a team effort. We know Tony Hicks from the past few years. He’s been a really solid guard for Penn. … Whether we start [Joey ] or [Bryce ] on him we’ll just kind of rotate and then Zach Rupprecht coming off the bench as well and [Nick Lindner] is very capable of guarding him as well. We’ll throw a lot of different guys at him and try to corral him. [We need to be] a unit defensively because we know one guy will not be able to guard him by himself. So we’ll try and help and limit his good looks.
DP: Penn is just recovering from a two-game losing streak and finishes their home stand against you guys. Do you expect to see a lot of fire from this Penn team?
SH: Every time we play Penn it’s a close game. Last year it was a two-point game and the year before that they had a really good comeback and made it a really close game at the Palestra. And we know playing at the Palestra is tough. For the juniors and seniors, two years ago we had to play there so we know the challenge there. Now, if we can play good defense and limit Hicks and get good offensive looks, we’ll have a good gameplan.
DP: What about Penn’s team concerns you the most heading into Saturday?
SH: We know Tony Hicks is kind of their firepower, but they also have a couple capable guards that can make plays and that big guy inside [junior center Darien Nelson-Henry] is a force to be reckoned with, so we know that they’re a really well-rounded team. They move the ball and get good shots like we do. We know it’s a tough task with a team that has a lot of firepower and potential so we know we gotta go out there and play well defensively.
Palestra basketball never sleeps! Penn basketball takes on Rider in a matchup of 0-1 squads looking for their first win of the season. Is it the Quakers' time? Ian Wenik and I will bring you action as we find out together.
Live Blog Liveblog | Penn basketball vs. Rider
Harvard
The first Ivy League team to claim a top 25 spot in the preseason polls in 39 years opened up its season with a 73-52 victory against crosstown rival MIT. Although these schools may be more used to competing in the academic world, both teams showed they could compete on the court as well. Senior guard Wesley Saunders led the way for the No. 25 Crimson (1-1) to pick up the victory with 15 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and two steals. However, Harvard could not follow up its performance on Sunday, falling to Holy Cross in a close battle, 58-57. With the loss, Harvard’s days in the top 25 are numbered.
Dartmouth
In the first ever meeting between Dartmouth (0-1) and St. Bonaventure, the Big Green fell, 77-57. The loss didn’t come as much of a surprise as Dartmouth has failed to win an opener away from Hanover since 1999. Dartmouth stayed in the game in the first half, facing only a one-point deficit at the beginning of the second half, but the Bonnies ran away with it, forcing a total of 19 turnovers on the night.
Yale
Yale (0-1) opened its season with a thrilling yet disappointing double-overtime loss to Quinnipiac, 88-85. The game ultimately came down to rebounding as Quinnipiac dominated on the boards, finishing with 54 rebounds including 22 on the offensive end while the Bulldogs only had 38 on the night. Despite the loss, senior guard Javier Duren notched 26 points while junior forward Justin Sears posted a double-double.
Princeton
Princeton (1-1) split the games on its opening weekend, beating Rider 64-58 on Friday but falling to George Mason 63-60 on Sunday. Overall, the team showed perseverance, overcoming a nine-point deficit against Rider to tie the game at 43 and go ahead with three minutes left. However, on Sunday, a cold first half in which the Tigers went 2-for-17 on field goal attempts spoiled the chance of a weekend sweep.
Brown
Brown (1-0) was the only Ivy League team to escape the weekend with an undefeated record, beating St. Peter’s, 70-58, at home. Junior forward Cedric Kuakumensah had a stellar performance on both ends of the court, shooting 7-for-9 from the field and blocking three shots, pulling him just one block shy of the Brown record.
Cornell
Cornell (1-1) accomplished what Princeton couldn’t this weekend, taking down George Mason, 68-60, with an impressive defensive showing. Senior forward Shonn Miller, who missed all of last season, led the Big Red with a double-double while senior guard Devin Cherry nearly posted a triple-double. However, Cornell could not keep up the momentum on Sunday as it fell to Loyola (Md.), 76-71.
Columbia
Columbia (0-1) joined the list of other Ivy teams that fell by a slim margin this weekend with a tough 57-56 loss to Stony Brook in its season opener. Stony Brook scored the go-ahead basket with only seven seconds remaining. However, there were several bright spots for the Lions, who shot 50 percent from floor in the first half and 43.8 percent for the game.
It’s no secret that things have not gone Penn football’s way this year, but for the man at the helm of the program — coach Al Bagnoli — this season has been the outlier, not the norm.
Over his career, Bagnoli has led the team to nine outright Ivy championships and became the winningest coach in program history.
In preparation for the Quakers’ season ending matchup with Cornell and — more importantly — Bagnoli’s final game on the Penn sidelines, let’s turn back the clock two years to another significant matchup with the Big Red.
On Nov. 17, 2012, the Red and Blue traveled to Ithaca, N.Y. with one thing on their minds: an Ivy championship.
At 5-1 in the league and a game up on second-place Harvard, Penn needed only a win to clinch its third outright Ivy title in four years — a dynasty in the eyes of many onlookers.
Matched up against a Cornell squad that sat at 2-4 in the league, the Red and Blue were clear favorites. But the Quakers were a man down.
Then-senior quarterback Billy Ragone was out with an injury, forcing senior Andrew Holland to make his first start in the final game of his career.
However, the Quakers had faced adversity all year. Over the course of the season, the Red and Blue never won by more than nine points, and a mid-season loss to Yale did not bode well for their title hopes.
They were able to fight through each time, and they entered the game against Cornell with the same attitude, full of confidence.
“I’ve been so blessed to be a part of this class and have the opportunity to win three championships,” Holland said. “It’s a special group.”
The Quakers came out slow, falling behind 13-7 early in the game, but it didn’t take long for them to gain control.
Led by the efficient play of Holland — who completed 18 of his 22 attempts for 255 yards on the game — and an explosive 55-yard third quarter touchdown run by then-senior running back Lyle March, Penn scored 21 unanswered points.
The Quakers took the 15-point lead into the fourth quarter, but they would not be able to coast to victory.
“It wouldn’t be us if we didn’t make it interesting,” senior defensive lineman Brandon Copeland said.
Cornell brought it within eight, and after converting 4th-and-10 and a Penn pick-six negated by a penalty, the Big Red were able to tie it up with 2:57 to go on a score and two-point conversion.
“They scared the living hell out of you,” Bagnoli said.
However, after getting good field position from a short Cornell squib kick, the Quakers were able to keep their cool.
“We were actually pretty calm in the huddle,” Holland said.
Holland overcame his inexperience and marched Penn down the field, leading to a three-yard score by then-sophomore running back Spencer Kulscar.
The defense was able to hold on and earn Bagnoli his ninth — and final — Ivy title.
“It wasn’t easy, it wasn’t perfect or pretty at all,” Copeland said, summing up Bagnoli’s brand of winning football. “We all stayed together.”
After an up-and-down season for Penn field hockey, the team saw two players named to the Mid-Atlantic All-Region second-team. Senior Emily Corcoran and freshman Alexa Hoover were honored after combining for 23 goals and 55 points.
Hoover put together one of the best freshman seasons in Penn's history, claiming the Ivy League scoring title, Ivy League Rookie of the Year and first-team All-Ivy honors.
Corcoran earned All-Region honors for the second time, having previously earned second-team recognition during her junior season.
Hoover will be looked upon to continue her high-scoring ways next fall as the Quakers hope to improve on their 8-9, 3-4 Ivy season. Penn will graduate their starting goalkeeper Allison Weisenfels, along with two of its top scorers in Corcoran and Alex Iqbal.
Earlier today, freshman guard Antonio Woods was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week after putting up 11 points against Delaware State on Saturday.
Coming off the bench in his collegiate debut, Woods played 36 minutes while also adding four rebounds and two assists. The freshman figures to be a large part of the Quakers' gameplan moving forward.
Woods wasn't the only Penn basketball player to receive weekly honors though, as junior guard Tony Hicks earned Big Five Player of the Week recognition for his 31-point effort. Hicks, one of the team's captains this year, will be looked on to carry a heavy offensive load all season and it was certainly apparent in the first game.
Hicks reinvented himself over the offseason, switching his jersey number to 11 because he chose number 1 for all the wrong reasons.
