The final weekend of Ivy League regular season basketball is here, and with it brings a lot of excitement and drama. 

Director of Athletics M. Grace Calhoun was recognized as a NACDA Athletic Director of the Year on Wednesday.

With Ancient Eight play coming to a close, Penn women’s basketball currently sits atop the standings with Princeton, but anything can still happen with two games to play.

With the last weekend of Ivy League play approaching, Penn men’s basketball still has it all to play for.

The Quakers finished in third place after four days of competition at the Ivy League Championships at Brown with 1120.5 points.  

On Saturday night, Penn men's and women's basketball both scored much-needed wins over Dartmouth. Here's what to take away from the games.

The Quakers pulled away thanks to runs of 14 and 13 straight points to defeat the Big Green, 65-51.  

It was a celebratory atmosphere in the Palestra, as the Quakers honored their senior players and managers in their final game in the Palestra with a 56-52 in over Dartmouth.

Despite sticking with the Nittany Lions for the entire game, the Red and Blue let in two last minute goals to go down 14-15 in a dramatic finish.

After a loss to Harvard on Friday, the men are in must-win mode, while the women are looking to remain in first in the Ivy League with a win over the Big Green. 

Penn got goals from nine different players and five assists from junior attacker Gabby Rosenzweig, earning a 15-4 win over Yale to keep its record perfect on the year. 

But with the door open for the Red and Blue to get into a three-way tie for fourth in the Ivy League with the Bears and Big Red, they couldn’t make it through.

The Quakers solidified their place in the top two of the Ivy League and officially clinched a berth in the conference tournament with a 75-70 win over Harvard.

Penn men’s basketball came up short once again, losing by a score of 59-53 at Harvard in a game that was bereft of much offensive entertainment.

Penn men's and women's basketball each lost to Harvard in overtime matchups earlier this season. The men are in must-win mode, while the women are looking to remain in first in the Ivy League.

For some international student-athletes, though, flights are too expensive and time-consuming to make this a reality. Fortunately for football offensive lineman Travis Wang, Penn Athletics is picking up his travel tab. 

Sometimes uncontrollable factors get in the way of an athletic career. For Penn men’s basketball sophomore Jelani Williams, this concern is all too real.
