How Yale men’s basketball edged Penn sans Nick Townsend
No Nick Townsend. No problem.
Yale men’s basketball had sophomore forward Isaac Celiscar and senior forward Casey Simmons, and that duo powered Yale to a 74-70 win over surging Penn at John J. Lee Amphitheater Saturday afternoon.
With the win, Yale (21-4, 9-2 Ivy) clinched a bid to the Ivy League Tournament.
Harvard men’s basketball clamps down on Cornell to clinch Ivy Madness slot
Harvard men’s basketball is headed back to the Ivy League Tournament.
Powered by a stifling 40-minute defense and strong second-half offensive production, the Crimson throttled the Big Red, 73-54, at Newman Arena on Saturday afternoon to clinch a spot in the Ancient Eight’s upper division.
“It feels great to get to Ivy Madness. It’s been a while since this program has been there,” Tey Barbour said to ESPN+’s Eric Taylor after the sophomore guard’s career-best 30-point performance. “We had a heartbreaking loss (to Yale) last week, but I’m proud of our team to bounce back and have a great win.”
Penn women’s basketball keeps hope alive by beating Yale
The Penn women’s basketball team got the win it needed Saturday at home – not an inspiring win, not a dramatic one, but a comfortable one against a shorthanded and struggling Yale squad, 68-52, to stay in the race for a slot in Ivy Madness.
Quakeaways from Penn men’s basketball’s loss at Yale
Penn men’s basketball let a chance to effectively clinch an Ivy Madness spot slip through its fingers on Saturday at Yale, as a stretch of poor offense flipped a halftime lead into a deficit the Quakers could not overcome in a 74-70 loss.
The Quakers (13-11, 6-5 Ivy) took a 40-35 lead into the halftime locker room on the back of strong shooting performances from TJ Power and Michael Zanoni. But the Quakers went scoreless for the first minutes of the second frame as the league-leading Bulldogs (21-4, 9-2) went on an extended 10-0 run.
Penn got a couple of looks at open threes for the lead late in the second half that would not go down. Yale went on to effectively end the game after Bulldogs wing Isaac Celiscar hit a tough stepback midrange jumper over the outstretched arm of Power to take a 70-66 lead with 16 seconds to play.
The Quakers entered Saturday as sizable underdogs and outperformed their expectations (Yale closed as a 9.5 point favorite) and still sit in third place in the Ivy League standings. A successful homestand next weekend will secure Penn’s first trip to the conference tournament in three years.
