In response to HARVARDDADGRAD
Penn has officially joined the party! Big win.
Best win yet for an Ivy team?
Doubt Miami will continue the tradition of scheduling within our league.
Well, if Penn officially joined the party by clobbering Miami by 14 (compared to Yale's 4 point squeaker), how about now that the Quakers convincingly defeated defending national champions Villanova? After jumping out to a 14-2 lead, Penn fell behind after a 15-0 'Nova run and then responded with a 12-2 of its own. Penn led the rest of the way while expanding its lead to 10 late in the second half. Don't let the 3 pt. final margin fool you (due to some bizarre last second drama). Penn shredded Villanova's defense with its ball movement and dominated the boards.
Not only have the Quakers joined the party; they are the Belles of the Ball.
ps - I don't mean to downplay Yale's comeback from a 10 pt. halftime deficit, but I don't see them, Harvard, or anyone else as prohibitive favorites. If it weren't for the fact that this year's tournament is at Payne Whitney, I would put them a notch behind Penn due to the difference in coaching.
