...here that Begley stepped up to eliminate any notion that first-place Penn’s Ivy League supremacy would be challenged. On the same night that preseason favorite Princeton was stunned by Dartmouth, the Quakers??€™ captain refused to let a similar scenario play out in Cambridge. Begley hit two quick jumpers to ignite the sizeable Penn crowd, and added an acrobatic reverse layup shortly thereafter to quickly give a cushion back to Penn...
...Harvard was unable to do much down the stretch to close it, and never crept closer than nine over the game’s final 15 minutes. As has become customary in the Harvard-Penn matchup, the Crimson was kept at bay by the quickness and versatility of the Quakers??€™ three-guard lineup, as all of Penn’s starting backcourt players reached double figures—Begley had a game high 21 points, while Ibrahim Jaaber added 12 and Osmundson racked up 10.

Fikiel slammed the ball home to increase the Quakers??€™ lead to 59-46 and effectively put an end to the Crimson’s hopes...
