Daily News | Penn’s road to a potential NCAA Tournament bid runs through Princeton. For both men and women.
The path to an Ivy League conference title for both Penn men’s and women’s basketball runs through a familiar foe.
On the men’s side, the first-round matchup between the No. 3 seeded Quakers and No. 2 seeded Princeton tips off on Saturday also at the home of the Tigers . Senior Kayla Padilla and junior Jordan Obi will do most of the heavy lifting, but continuous ball movement and getting open shots for snipers like sophomore Stina Almquivst and freshman Simone Sawyers will also be key.
However, the Tigers defended Dingle well collectively in the second half with traps and double teams, and the Quakers fell, 77-69 in overtime, to snap an eight-game win streak.
