Moments of brilliance, like the win over Villanova in December, are nice, but poise that lasts for an entire season? That’s magical. 

The sweep of the New York Ivies makes the Quakers 8-1 in League play with just five regular season games remaining.

The Quakers got the job done on Saturday in a strong 68-50 win over Cornell, which sat two slots above them in the conference standings entering the game. 

From the start of the contest, the Quakers struggled to keep up with the Blue Devils, ultimately losing 17-7.

Penn women’s basketball used a run of hot second half shooting to rebound from a disappointing first Ivy loss to Harvard with a dominant 79-56 win over Columbia on Friday.

On Thursday, Penn Athletics announced that the remaining four home men’s basketball games will be broadcast live in Mandarin.

With three weekends left to play, there seem to be three camps with different visions for how the remainder of the season will play out. Let’s take a look at some of the more likely possibilities.

Whether it’s electronic dance music – EDM, for short – to get the blood flowing or a slow song to mourn a tough loss, music serves a multitude of purposes for athletes at Penn.
