Pollack | Basketball season is the most wonderful time of the year
Both the men’s and women’s squads will be in the thick of the title hunt, and never in the last decade have both teams been simultaneously this good.

Unranked Penn almost pulled off one of the biggest upsets in program history, but the late equalizer the team needed never came.
All three started in every game for Penn last season, meaning more than half of the team’s starting lineup this season will be players new to that role. But the Quakers won’t be losing everyone from that Ivy League runner-up team last season.
Penn women's soccer lost their first Ivy League game on the last day of the season, falling to the Tigers 1-0.

None are coming in as highly touted as now-sophomore center Eleah Parker was last year, but that doesn’t mean they won’t make an immediate impact.
While Penn women's soccer might have the most important game to play this weekend, here's a look at three others teams that will also be in action.
It’s the buy-in from all 30 players, the desire to put everything on the line each time they step foot on the pitch, the commitment to conditioning and training, that has made all the difference.
Ivy League bragging rights aren’t the only thing up in the air. The other honor on the line is the conference's automatic NCAA Tournament bid.
The Quakers may be down three starters and a key reserve from last season, but their schedule this year won't be any easier.
Tough matches for the Quakers culminated in losses to Ivy League foes on opposite ends of the standings. Penn lost to fellow basement-dweller Brown by a score of 3-1, before being dropped by Yale in straight sets.
An emphatic 2-0 win over Brown, Penn’s first over the Bears since 2014, gave the Quakers their first Ivy title since 2010. Penn has the chance to be outright champions with a tie or a win over Princeton next weekend.
In this week's edition of Is Stat So?, Karekin Brooks ran all over Brown's defense, women's soccer clinched a share of an Ivy title for the first time in nearly a decade, and men's soccer finally ended its winless streak.
At the 2017 iteration of Heps, the men’s squad finished in third place while the women’s came in at seventh place. In this year’s edition, both the men and women took a small step back: fourth place for the men, eighth place for the women.
On Saturday, the Quakers celebrated its senior day for five players — Rachel Mirkin, Karen Seid, Sofia Palacios, Page Meily, and Kelsey Mendell — by defeating Brown 1-0.
This Saturday at Princeton — the host of the Ivy Heps — Dolan’s runners will get their chance.
A 6-0 victory over Delaware State on Monday night showcased the depth of Penn’s squad, as the win included goals from five different players and highlighted the talent of some of the younger athletes who haven’t seen much of the field throughout the season.
Sands, the team's leading goal-scorer, has come up big when the pressure's highest time and time again this season. All six of her goals this season have been game-winners, tied for the second-most game-winners in the nation.
In this week's edition of Is Stat So?, a pair of cousins dominated for sprint football, a month-long shutout streak came to an end, and Penn football failed to stop Yale's ground game.
