Notes
– Tyler Bernardini was Penn’s leading scorer and tied for game-high honors with 21 points. He scored 16 of those points in the second half, including the all four of his three-pointers. The freshman guard also made nine of his 12 free throw attempts and recorded one assist, one block, and two steals.
– Scottie Reynolds also notched 21 points on 6-of-12 shooting, including 3-of-6 three-point attempts. The sophomore also dished out five assists and grabbed two steals.
– The Wildcats dominated the Quakers on the offensive glass, pulling down 21 offensive rebounds to 22 defensive rebounds for Penn for 48.8-percent offensive boarding. Oddly Penn had a 15-11 edge in second-chance points.
– The Wildcats outscored the Quakers in the paint by 40-18.
– Penn’s struggled extended to the free throw line, where it shot just 16 of 27 (59.3 percent), with Bernardini’s teammates combining to shoot 7 of 15 at the stripe.
– Penn likely will see its two-game losing streak extended to three when top-ranked North Carolina pays a visit to The Palestra on Tuesday, December 4, at 7:00 pm ET, for a sold-out game that will be televised on ESPN2.
