The Ivy League football world is clamoring about Columbia, and for the first time in almost two decades, it isn’t in the form of mockery.

When Spring Break rolls around, some college students go on extravagant excursions to exotic destinations, seeking beautiful views, warm weather and adventure.

Despite finishing second in the Ivy League, Penn women’s basketball’s season isn’t over quite yet.

In the end, Athletic Director Grace Calhoun went with the obvious hire and, really, who can blame her? Donahue checks off everything you would normally be looking for in a new coach for the Quakers.

Fran O'Hanlon has been the head coach of Lafayette men's basketball since 1995. Before beginning his 20-year stint with the Leopards, O'Hanlon was an assistant at Penn from 1989 through 1995 along with recently hired head coach Steve Donahue.

Steve Donahue is the next Penn basketball head coach.

Although Tuesday’s 55-42 loss to Princeton may have crushed Penn’s hopes of walking away with its second-consecutive Ivy League title, the women’s hoops team certainly did not come away from the season empty handed. For the second time in as many years, sophomore center Sydney Stipanovich earned Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year honors.

33.2 seconds. Tie game. An NCAA Tournament bid on the line.  In the end, experience trumped all as senior forward Steve Moundou-Missi drained a midrange jumper in the final 10 seconds to help Harvard claim its fourth straight automatic NCAA Tournament bid.

With Harvard and Yale playing a one-game playoff for the Ivy League's NCAA Tournament bid, here's a look at each team's two games against Penn.

For basketball fans everywhere, there are a few moments involving typical pregame clothing -- or lack thereof -- that have become poignant over the years. In the early 1990s, Michigan's celebrated Fab Five donned plain blue t-shirts instead of their customary warmup jackets to make a statement about the money the university made off their likeness.

They're perfect for a reason. Penn women's basketball found that out the hard way...again. Despite a strong effort in the game's first 25 minutes and energized play from forwards Michelle Nwokedi and Sydney Stipanovich, the Red and Blue could not overcome a run from Princeton midway through the second half, falling, 55-42, in the teams' regular season finale.

Person after person, alum after alum, player after player, everyone kept coming up to Jerome Allen.

Many of those connected to the program are upset by Allen's firing, especially given his ties to Penn basketball as a standout in the early 1990s.

Columbia's hiring of long-time Penn football coach Al Bagnoli to be its new head football coach sent shock waves through Penn Athletics, but it also came with strong support at Columbia. New Columbia Athletic Director Peter Pilling announced Bagnoli as his new coach two weeks ago and the Columbia Spectator caught up with alums to weigh in on the hiring. 2013 Columbia grad and quarterback Sean Brackett was positive that Bagnoli could turn things around for the Lions' lackluster program, which hasn't won a game since 2012. “Whenever you play a team coached by Bagnoli, you know they’re going to be smart, tough, both physically and mentally," Brackett said to the Spectator.

Tim Krug played for the Penn basketball program from 1992 through 1996, including a three-year period in which he played alongside two-time Ivy League Player of the Year and current coach Jerome Allen.

With Jerome Allen out as Penn basketball head coach after Tuesday’s game against Princeton, Athletic Director Grace Calhoun is already on the lookout for a new head coach.
