| Keys to the Game |
| Key sequence |
For the second straight night, a run late in the first half proved crucial to Penn’s victory. Yale opened the game on a 16-1 run as the Quakers missed their first nine shots. With the Bulldogs holding a 31-19 edge with just over five minutes to play in the first, Penn went on a 25-3 run that spanned about 10 minutes. |
| Key sign it was over |
Eric Osmundson slammed home a fast break dunk after a steal with four minutes to play to put Penn up 70-44. |
| Key performance |
Osmundson. In a first half that saw the other four starters combine for 0-for-16 shooting, the senior guard scored nine points on 4-of-5 shooting. He finished 7-for-11 from the floor, including 3-of-5 on threes. Osmundson scored 17 points and had a 5:1 assist-to-turnover ratio. His effective field goal percentage, a method that adjusts for the added weight of three-pointers, was 77.2 percent. |
| Key statistic |
Yale’s 7-for-21 second-half shooting. James Jones said his team settled for jumpshots in the second half, and it showed. The Bulldogs only hit a third of their field goals after knocking down a blistering 15-of-25 shots (60.0 percent) in the first half. |
