Penn men’s basketball will be focused on improving on the little things when it travels to face Delaware State on Tuesday night.

On Saturday night, Nov. 24, Penn men’s basketball scored over 100 points against Stockton University while Abner’s threw up an air ball, disappointing stunned and angry game fans with a broken promise of free cheesesteaks.

After earning Ivy League and Big 5 Player of the Week awards last week, junior Devon Goodman continued his good form and led the Quakers in scoring in all three games the team played this week.

A troubled trip back home from the U.S. Virgin Islands and two straight loses to Power Five conference opponents didn’t deter the Quakers, as they trounced Stockton 112-63 at home on Saturday.

However, both were honored with individual accolades of their in the second week of the season, with Wang winning Ivy League Rookie of the Week and Goodman taking home both Ivy League Player of the Week and Big Five Player of the Week for their play in the 2018 Paradise Jam Tournament.

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.
