A young team for University of Pennsylvania this year, the Quakers were
looking pretty good after a hard fight against a solid Drexel team.

This is the best things have looked for the Quakers in quite awhile. The direction the season looks to be heading is very exciting for Penn fans.

The Quakers got their first win on the fourth game of the year by beating a now 0-8 (league), 5-12 (overall) Citadel Bulldogs, who look to have problems themselves.

In their first Big Five game, Penn was unlucky enough to have to take on now number 21 Villanova. The Wildcats took an astonishing 53-22 halftime lead and never looked back, winning 87-61.

Penn won two consecutive games so far. Beating Monmouth and Elon—two not very competitive teams—Penn gave LaSalle a fight but couldn't pull out a victory. 

Penn was then demolished by a pretty solid St. Joe's team. 

Penn looks to keep their streak alive for most consecutive home Ivy League games won. They take on this task starting February first against Harvard, who have had some struggles themselves. 

They will then take on The Big Green from Dartmouth, the following day. The Big Green are led by 6-6 junior Alex Barnett who is averaging 16 points and seven rebounds a game.
