Great game. Penn is playing tough.

Penn could very well win the Ivy league this year. Bad, quick shot by Gillespie there.

I was just about to write the same thing. For the back cuts and screens on offense alone.

Penn with the big upset of Nova.

Vintage Palestra! End the greed and get every Big5 game back in the cathedral!

TOO RIGHT--i love that place, the noises can be deafening and have great memories of a St. John's win over Nova in OT

My senior year at St. Joe's every home game was played at the Palestra due to on campus renovations. Throughout my 4 years the Palestra crowd used to be cut in half for every Big5 game, you could see the divide by school colors. Banners used to scroll down student sections and combating chants existed for every game. Unfortunately post 2010 the Hawks, Nova and Temple all gave in to donor influences to host their Big5 home games on respective campuses. Now only Lasalle and obviously Penn still live to the old ways. It's a downright shame.

JQ's numbers are horrible--they might be happy if he transfers.

Nova-Kansas game is a good one on ESPN, Nova up 1 with 10 to go

#17 Nova loses to Kansas.
#25 Syracuse loses at home to Old Dominion.
Georgia up 14 on #20 Arizona State at the half.

We could be ranked on Monday, but only if we’re ready for tomorrow’s showdown with Wagner.

AP Poll is out.  We are "#29" with 59 votes.  Nova "30th" with 52 votes. Marquette #20.

Monster road games for fringe Big East contenders X (@Mizzou) and Creighton (@Oklahoma) tonight. Litmus tests for both.

Also of note #14 Buffalo buses I-90 into Syracuse as a 4.5 point underdog later tn. 8P start should be terrific.

I don't think there is anything fringe about Creighton.
