On Saturday, Penn men’s basketball will have the opportunity to avenge last weekend’s 68-65 road overtime loss against rival Princeton. The defeat was the third straight for the Quakers and the first against the Tigers since March 2017, almost two years ago.

Penn went south to Duke this weekend, jumping back into the dual meet season for 2019. Despite a promising opening in the 125- and 133- pound weight classes, the Quakers ultimately fell to the Blue Devils 25-18.

The men swept the Big Green and the Bulldogs by scores of 227-73 and 191-109, respectively. On the other side, the women clinched an important win against Dartmouth by a score of 161.5-131.5 but fell to Yale, 237-63.

Penn women’s basketball outplayed the defending Ivy League champions thanks to team defense and fewer mistakes. An hour after that game finished, Princeton men’s basketball did the same.

After a back-and-forth affair all game at Jadwin Gym, Penn men’s basketball dropped its second straight game in overtime, falling by a score of 68-65. The lead changed hands all game, but ultimately the Tigers finished on top.

In a rematch of last year’s Ivy League Tournament championship where the Tigers won 63-34, the Quakers kept this one much more of a contest and edged out a 66-60 win over their rivals and defending Ivy champions. 

The Ivy League slate has finally arrived. Penn and Princeton open the conference's basketball season with a doubleheader at Princeton's Jadwin Gymnasium. The women tip off at 2pm and the men follow at 5. 

After two months of basketball, Ivy League play is finally here. As Penn men’s basketball gears up to take on Princeton this coming Saturday, here are three questions surrounding the rivalry matchup.

Penn will travel to New Jersey to play the Tigers on Saturday, and next week the Quakers will return to Philadelphia to host their Ivy League foe on Jan. 12. On the surface, this scheduling doesn’t seem to make much sense; looking deeper doesn’t reveal any solid justification either. 

In the middle of winter break, the Quakers traveled over 800 miles to Hoffman Estates, Ill. to compete in the Midlands Championships, one of the premier tournaments in collegiate wrestling. 

In a back-and-forth overtime thriller, Penn men’s basketball fell to a previously winless Monmouth team at the Palestra, 76-74.

Penn women’s basketball dominated Stetson from start to finish in a 75-53 win. The Quakers  shot over 50 percent from beyond the arc through three quarters before cooling off once the game was already out of reach. 

With a new year full of big games, fresh faces, and untold stories on the horizon, it’s time to suggest a few New Year’s resolutions for Penn Athletics. 

The Quakers struggled to score throughout the game, ultimately losing to Toledo, 77-45.  One of the biggest reasons for the Quakers’ tribulations was an early injury to freshman forward Michael Wang.

Penn rolled and held on to defeat New Mexico on Saturday afternoon in Albuquerque by a score of 75-65.

It’s a frequently used saying across many different sports, but for good reason. Penn women’s basketball's defense helped them to a dominant 55-39 win over Drexel in their first game back after a break for final exams.

This is the grittiest team I’ve ever seen. Everything they do is gritty. The way in which the Quakers came up with two of the biggest wins in their career in a span of a week made me sure of it — Penn men’s basketball is the grittiest team in Philadelphia.
