With Zack Rosen starting on the bench, the Quakers fell into a hole and weren’t able to dig themselves out, as the Bulldogs cruised to a 61-48 victory.

Despite controversy surrounding referee Kevin Quirk’s decision to count the bucket, the Quakers left the Pizzitola Sports Center Saturday night with a thrilling 55-54 victory over Brown.

The Big Red (18-3, 4-0 Ivy) made quick work of a Harvard (14-4, 3-1) team that was predicted to be their most formidable Ivy opponent. Columbia broke a five-game skid Saturday night with a 63-51 victory over Dartmouth. Princeton bullied the Elis 58-45 Saturday in New Haven, Conn.

For sophomore point guard Zack Rosen and the Quakers, this weekend’s contests at Yale and Brown present something of a clean slate.

Columbia went 6-8 in non-conference play before losing to defending Ivy League champion Cornell twice this month.

Princeton’s 9-5 non-conference showing has certainly put it on the right track toward the Ivy title.

Cornell opened its quest for a third straight Ivy title with a statement: the road to the Ivy basketball championship still goes through Ithaca, N.Y.

Senior Zach Klitzman looks back on the Men's Basketball team's last Big 5 win, in his freshman year.

When Harvard hired former Duke standout and Michigan coach Tommy Amaker after the 2006-07 season, hopes were high, but the Crimson’s win total stayed mediocre as usual.

After just two Ivy League games, the Brown basketball team is one third of the way towards matching its 2008-09 Ivy win total.

St. Joseph's coach Phil Martelli had only one goal in mind: keep the ball out of the hands of Penn’s lone playmaker, point guard Zack Rosen.

Today marks a new season. Penn begins Ivy League play this Friday with an 0-0 record.

The Bulldogs enter this year fallowing a surprisingly strong showing in the Ivy League last season, finishing second in the Ivies in 2008-09.

The Quakers were trounced, 85-64, by a Saint Joseph’s team that has struggled mightily this year, dropping non-conference games to both Cornell and Princeton.

The Quakers can halt their historic Big 5 losing streak and prevent a third consecutive winless Big 5 season tonight against St. Joseph's.

Last year, Govens buried Penn with a game-high 20 points, including three trifectas, in an 80-68 victory. Since the Quakers have struggled to contain opposing guards all season, Govens will likely have a chance to repeat his shooting touch tonight.

Intense man-to-man pressure from the Quakers (1-12, 0-3 Big 5) helped close the gap against La Salle (10-8, 1-1), driving Explorers coach Dr. John Gianninni into a frenzy of expletives.
