– Bernardini had a standout night, drawing raves postgame from North Carolina coach Roy Williams for his 26 points on 10-of-17 shooting. Brian Grandieri added 17 for the Quakers

– In his Palestra homecoming, Wynnewood, PA, native Wayne Ellington had a relatively quiet night. He scored 13 points, but made only five of his 14 field goal attempts and missed both his three-point shots.

– Penn made no attempt to slow down the game, and the result was a back-and-forth affair, with 84 possessions per side.

– The Quakers had another cold night from beyond the arc, making only three of 19 attempts (15.8 percent), but no Penn player took more than three perimeter shots.

– Penn’s final total of 22 turnover, was only three more than North Carolina’s 19, but the Tar Heels had a 24-9 edge in points off turnovers.

– The Palestra was packed to the rafters with a sellout crowd of 8,722 that looked the part, but included a sizable amount of Carolina blue.

– The Quakers will look to snap a three-game losing streak when they travel to Monmouth on Saturday, December 8, for a 7:00 pm ET contest.
