We caught up with Rich Hofmann, a 1980 Penn grad who joined the Daily News out of college and – as you’ll read – never left. As a sportswriter for The DP, though, Hofmann did get to experience the 1979 Final Four run, the Chuck Daly and Bob Weinhauer eras of Penn basketball coaches and plenty more.
CAMBRIDGE, MASS. — What a shocking first half. And what a comeback fallen short.
So how was your last Saturday?
With sophomore Julian Harrell logging 17 minutes of action in his first collegiate game at Monmouth Tuesday night, and freshmen Tony Bagtas, Matt Howard and Dylan Jones all seeing time in the opening two contests of the season, which first-year contributor do we expect to make the biggest impact this season for the Quakers?
_If you were paying attention to Temple coach Fran Dunphy on the sidelines Saturday at the Palestra, then you saw Dave Duke sitting by him too. Duke served as an assistant under Dunphy at Penn from 1998-06, moving with Dunphy to Temple. _
So Penn basketball almost came back. Valiantly even. Doesn’t matter.

Penn basketball’s starting lineup was a puzzle last year. It took coach Jerome Allen 14 different starting combinations and 12 of 13 players getting at least one start to figure out how to handle a senior-less roster while enduring season-ending injuries to then-juniors Fran Dougherty and Steve Rennard.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – What the hell was that?
The third installment of our “Remembering Penn basketball” series features former DP sports editor Brian Kotloff (C’12).
#1. Comeback game against Princeton in 2005. That was by far the loudest I have ever heard the Palestra. Recall that coming in to that season, Princeton was the heavy favorite to repeat as Ivy champs. They returned basically their whole team and were even receiving votes in the AP Top 25 early in the year. But Princeton came in at 1-3 in the league, while Penn, at 4-0, could see a path to the title. Except they were down 18 late in the second half, and against Princeton’s deliberate system, 18 feels like 30.
_Although he has served as Virginia’s athletic director since 2001, Craig Littlepage’s much of college basketball career will always be associated with Penn. Littlepage played for the Quakers from 1970-73 and was a part of Penn’s legendary of 1970-71 squad that notched an undefeated record (26-0) and advanced to the Eastern Regional Final in the NCAA Tournament (inexplicably losing 90-47 to a Villanova team it had beaten earlier in the season).
Fri., Nov. 9 UMBC The Palestra W 80-75 Harder than it needed to be.
Our new series “Remembering Penn basketball” lets former Daily Pennsylvanian sportswriters and notable Penn men’s hoops fans give their greatest memories of the program. The first installment features former sportswriter Andrew Todres (C’ 09). (A joking moniker that has held up through the years, “DPOSTM” is short for Daily Pennsylvanian’s Only Section That Matters.)
