In Penn women’s basketball's first matchup against Cornell since before the pandemic, it picked up a critical Ivy League victory and moved past the Big Red in the Ancient Eight standings.

Not even Cornell’s barrage of heckling could stop the Quakers. On Saturday, Penn men’s basketball survived a late surge by Cornell to secure their second win of the weekend, 73-68.  

In what was arguably the team’s best defensive performance of the season, the Red and Blue – which came in as a 2.5-point underdog – beat Cornell by a 73-68 margin.

To many who’ve paid casual attention to the Quakers this season, this come-up might serve as a bit of a surprise. It shouldn’t be, though.

Avenging the defeat they suffered to the Lions in the Palestra, Penn came out and dominated Columbia 81-66.

Current statistics show Penn having an 87.4% chance of making the Ivy playoffs, a 14.2% chance of finishing as the top seed, a 24.7% chance at second seed, and a 29.6% shot at third.

Penn blew a lead of 14 and lost by seven to the Harvard Crimson, lowering the program's chances at reaching the Ivy tournament come March.

Despite early setbacks in his collegiate career, junior guard Jonah Charles has found early success this season, helping lead the Quakers to a breakout season so far.

Prior to the formation of the NBA, the SPAHS, an independent Hebrew basketball team in Philadelphia, was one of the most dominant basketball dynasties in America. 

Despite not winning at Harvard in 10 years, the Quakers found a way to rally from an early deficit to pull off a huge road conference win.

Beginning on Feb. 1, spectators will be allowed to attend winter sports competitions, which includes men’s and women’s basketball.

This week's DP Sports Player of the Week goes to men's basketball phenom Jordan Dingle, who put up 31 points in a crucial win over Yale.

The Red and Blue's recent Ivy League success is a ways away from the team's putrid loss to Columbia, and the way that they've changed is by prioritizing offensive values that have been crucial in the past.

The college basketball season is at its midway point and teams are in the thick of conference play, with contenders starting to find their form. 

Yale was left to chase Penn for the lead throughout the game, but the Quakers held on to emerge with the win 76-68.

In a road matchup against Yale, the Quakers struggled to gain their footing throughout the game, never once grabbing the lead at any point.

Cancellations and postponements defined the winter break for college sports across the United States, and Penn was no exception.
