Former Penn men’s basketball point guard Darnell Foreman has signed with Uni Baskets Paderborn of the ProA League in Germany. And he's dominating so far.

It is going to be a busy weekend for Penn athletics with the track, squash, swimming, and gymnastics teams all in action.

With 14 points in the first half last weekend against Temple, junior forward Kuba Mijakowski sparked the Penn offense to a huge win and a share of the Big 5 title.

Following a 77-70 victory over Temple last weekend, Penn men’s basketball will take on St. Joseph’s at the Palestra on Saturday.

With the current reconstruction of the Ringe Courts this season, Penn squash has been practicing and playing home matches at Drexel’s Kline & Specter Squash Center.

Coach Gilly Lane, who is entering his third season at the helm after graduating from Penn in 2007, has transformed the Quakers into a national squash powerhouse since his arrival. 

Penn men’s squash seems to have adopted this approach with the freshman big three — Aly Abou Eleinen, James Flynn, and Michael Mehl — all of whom have helped propel the program to the very top of collegiate squash.

The Quakers dropped both matches this weekend, first to Binghamton on Friday by a score of 24-12 and then Army on Sunday by a score of 28-10. 

The Red and Blue hosted the Penn 8-Team Select in Staten Island, N.Y. on Saturday, with the nine other teams in attendance being Monmouth, Providence, St. John’s, Stony Brook, Temple, Rutgers, St. Joseph’s, Fordham, and Wagner.

The Red and Blue ultimately saw competition on Saturday and Sunday from eight different teams, including Haverford, Duke, Brown, Sacred Heart, NYU, and Yale.

Penn men’s basketball has notched yet another unlikely 'first': Big 5 champions, for the first time in seventeen years. 

After dropping their first two Ivy League games against Princeton, Penn men’s basketball responded with a hard-fought win over Temple to clinch at least a share of the Big 5 title.

The former Penn and current Temple basketball coach has been synonymous with the Big 5 and Philadelphia basketball since he was scorching defenses for La Salle back in the late 60s.

Princeton men’s basketball senior Devin Cannady was suspended from the team following his arrest Friday, according to The Trentonian.

Dropping their last four games, two in overtime, the Quakers have a lot of figuring out to do before they face Big 5 opponent Temple on the road this Saturday.

Just starting their season, the Quakers have shown that they are on the rise. But Penn’s recent success on the mat isn’t just temporary.
