Daily News | Penn loses to Yale in Ivy League men’s basketball tournament semifinal, 67-61
BOSTON -- Penn’s men’s basketball team had to fight uphill from start to finish and never reached the summit in its Ivy League tournament semifinal against Yale, ultimately falling 67-61 at Harvard’s Lavietes Pavilion on Saturday.Penn stayed close throughout the first half but never led, as Yale took a 32-29 lead into the locker room at halftime.
A Yale miss on the ensuing possession led to August Mahoney fouling Lucas Monroe as they contested the rebound. That brought a roar from the boisterous contingent of Penn fans in Harvard’s tiny gym. But even after Monroe hit the front end of a one-and-one to put the Quakers up 56-55, there was still a long way to go.Penn had the ball down 64-61 coming out of a timeout with 58 seconds to go.
