Behind a slow start to the second half, Penn men’s basketball fell to Oregon State in the third-place game of the Paradise Jam, 74-58. The Quakers (4-2) finished the tournament with a 1-2 record.

In this week's edition of Is Stat So?, men's and women's basketball teams had rebounding totals at opposite ends of the spectrum, football beat the spread, and wrestling's freshmen continue to step up. 

Penn men’s basketball fell to No. 12 Kansas State, 64-48, in the semifinals of the Paradise Jam basketball tournament in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The guard put up a combined 51 points from the team’s three games last week, including a career-high 25 against NJIT to cap it off.

In its second home game of the season, Penn women’s basketball got out to an early lead and never looked back, ultimately beating NJIT 85-42.

Penn made sure that the NJIT left the Palestra still searching for its first win by demolishing the Highlanders 85-42.

After making the trip down to the Virgin Islands, the team won’t be leaving just yet. Which is fortunate for the Quakers, given all they went through to get there.

We are so lucky that these treasures all belong to Penn. The Palestra court, Franklin Field turf, and Penn Relays name should never be shared with any corporate entity. Otherwise, we’ll be like everyone else. 

The Quakers opened Big 5 play at the Palestra with their home opener against St. Joseph's  Thursday. Penn was able to bounce back from a loss to No. 1 Notre Dame with a 65-45 win against their Big 5 rival. 

This weekend, Penn men’s basketball will travel way down south to the US Virgin Islands to play in the Paradise Jam, an eight-team tournament featuring Northern Iowa, Eastern Kentucky, Kennesaw State, Missouri, Old Dominion, Oregon State and No. 12 Kansas State.

On Thursday, fans will finally be able to catch a glimpse of Penn women’s basketball in action at the Palestra, taking on Saint Joseph’s in the Quakers’ first home game of the season.

After a turnover-filled, back-and-forth start to the game, the Quakers pulled ahead and never looked back. The Quakers responded out of a TV timeout with two scrappy offensive rebounds, keeping the play alive just long enough for senior Antonio Woods to make a deep three.

Penn women’s basketball finished its season-opening two-game road trip in South Bend, Ind. falling, 75-55, to No. 1 Notre Dame. Despite the final score, the Quakers kept it close in the first half.

Penn women’s basketball kept it close to start, but it was all Notre Dame after the first quarter, leading to a 75-55 loss to the defending champion Fighting Irish. Despite the blowout defeat, there are many takeaways from the Quakers’ battle against the nation's No. 1 team.

In this week's edition of Is Stat So?, both Penn and women's basketball saw key contributions from bench players, football struggled to hold onto the ball, and men's soccer finished its season the way it knows best.

On Monday, Penn men’s basketball junior forward AJ Brodeur was named Ivy Player of the Week after his dominant performances in the Quakers’ wins this week over George Mason and Rice. Against the Patriots, Brodeur scored 19 points to go along with 10 rebounds and three assists, and against the Owls, he posted 23 points, 6 rebounds, and five assists.

Brodeur was the Red and Blue's shining star this past week, scoring 42 points and picking up 16 rebounds in the team’s two season-opening wins.
