Notes
– Ryan Wittman was the Big Red’s leading scorer. He recorded 16 points on 4-of-9 shooting, including a 2-for-5 night from three-point range, and made six of seven free throw attempts.
– Penn committed only five turnovers on the night and recorded eight steals. Cornell committed 16 turnovers – which the Quakers turned into 16 points – and did not record any steals.
– Penn shot a perfect 10 of 10 from the free throw line.
– Penn was a frigid 4-for-16 (25.0 percent) from three-point range, while Cornell hit 6 of 13 (46.2 percent) from beyond the arc.
– The two teams’ rebounding statistics were identical — nine offensive rebounds and 32 total boards apiece. Mark Zoller had a game-high seven, while three of Jaaber’s six rebounds came at the offensive end.
– The announced attendance of 1,492 did not include many Cornell students, as they are still on winter break for another two weeks.
– Penn’s next game is against fellow Ivy unbeaten Columbia (10-5, 1-0 Ivy) on Saturday, January 13 at Levien Gym at 7:00 pm ET. The game will be televised in the New York area on SNY and in the Mid-Atlantic region on CN8. At the same time, Cornell will welcome Princeton (9-5, 0-1 Ivy) to Newman Arena, as both teams search for their first Ivy win.
