At halftime, Penn men’s basketball trails Ivy-League leading Yale by only five points as the Eli lead, 37-32. The Red and Blue have played effective defense and have gotten impressive offensive performances from Matt Howard and Darien Nelson-Henry.
The Bulldogs were undefeated in Ivy play – winning each contest by an average of 14 points – until they were defeated by Princeton at Jadwin Gym 75-63 Friday night.
