Philadelphia is known for a lot of things.

When it comes to men's basketball, the Ivy League is unique, but it looks like that's about to change. And it's about time.

On the road against George Mason, the Quakers fell behind early and couldn't make up the lost ground, culminating in a 63-44 loss.

Penn women’s basketball sunk Navy, 57-43, at the Palestra on a sunny Saturday afternoon

An uneventful evening at the Palestra suddenly erupted with excitement after nearly 38 minutes of one-sided basketball when sophomore guard Antonio Woods connected with junior forward Matt Howard on an emphatic alley-oop.

Penn will welcome Navy to the Palestra, looking to repeat last week’s performance and keep its home record unblemished.

With finals fast approaching, many Penn students are already hoping that some late-semester academic fireworks to salvage their GPA's. But we Quakers aren't the only ones on campus with something to prove.

Surveying the court, guard Antonio Woods saw nothing impeding the senior center's path to the basket. Woods hit Nelson-Henry with the pass. Slammed home. And the foul.

With Colorado State down 49-48 and eight seconds remaining, Ellen Nystrom drove for a pull-up jumper over Penn’s Sydney Stipanovich. But the ball hit front iron and landed safely in the hands of sophomore Beth Brzozowski, securing a fourth straight win for Penn women’s basketball.

Here’s all of the record-breaking and interesting facts from Wednesday's win over La Salle.

The Quakers have many things to be thankful for, but rest isn't one of them.

For most of Penn’s student body, Thanksgiving break provides an opportunity for rest, relaxation and reconciliation. For the Quakers’ basketball program, however, the week is all about revenge.

The Red and Blue (3-1) got off to a rough start on both ends of the floor and struggled to get back on track for the rest of the contest. They quickly found themselves down 16-0 before Mike Auger finally stopped the bleeding before the first media timeout.

In the midst of a fantastic start to their season, Penn men's basketball will travel to Seattle this weekend for a matchup with the University of Washington.

Holding an opponent to fourteen points in a half is not bad for a football team. And for a basketball team, holding an opponent to fourteen points in a half is downright ridiculous.

At this rate, Steve Donahue may never lose a game as Penn basketball's coach.

Saturday is when Penn Athletics could see one of its teams bring home the program's first Ivy title of 2015-16. But a couple performances over this past weekend garnered plenty of awards for athletes sporting the Red and Blue.
