38th and Spruce Street Intersection

Bernstein | Resuscitating the waning rivalry

The cursory numbers are enough to tell you about the Penn-Princeton basketball rivalry over the past few decades. The two P's have had a hand in 46 of the past 49 Ivy titles.

The stats didn't support the outcome tonight. Penn shot 38.6 percent from the field and Princeton shot 50 percent. Penn converted 17 baskets and Princeton had 24.

Tracy McIntosh, the former Penn Neurosurgery professor who pleaded no contest in December 2004 to sexually assaulting his college roommate's then-23-year-old niece in 2002, will be resentenced this morning in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. The resentencing should bring closure to a lengthy legal battle that began in March 2005 when McIntosh was sentenced to 11-and-a-half to 23 months of house arrest, probation and fines and restitution to the victim, who was about to enter Penn's School of Veterinary Medicine.
