Just days after Penn Men’s Basketball advanced to the Ivy League Title Game with a last-second A.J. Levine layup over Harvard— the Quakers took the Ivy League Title from #1 seeded Yale with an 88–84 win. The incredible win for Penn took shape trailing Yale by 73–69 with only twelve seconds left in regulation.
Then the ball got to Penn’s T.J. Power.
Power hit a three-pointer with just under seven seconds left in the game. Then Power took an inbounds pass the length of the court and drained another three-pointer with only one second left. Yale had a shot to win it when Trevor Mullin heaved a ball toward the hoop that bounced off the back iron.
In OT — Yale played catchup — cutting Penn’s lead to 86–84 with only 11.2 seconds remaining. This time — however it was Penn making all of it’s free throws in order to preserve the win.
Power finished with 44 points and 14 rebounds for the Quakers. Mullin finished with 22 for Yale. The outcome almost assures that Yale is eliminated from contention for the NCAA Tournament while ensuring that Penn will be in.
