Miles Cartwright made 1-of-2 from the free throw line after being fouled at the 18:51 mark of the first half. The 1-0 margin wasn't much, but it was a lead that the Penn Quakers would never relinquish for the remainder of Monday night's game against the Princeton Tigers. The Quakers would go on to an 82-67 win at home.
Forty-five seconds after Cartwright's trip to the free throw line, Zach Rosen made one of his four 3-pointers on the night to kick start a 28-point outburst on 10-for-18 shooting. Rosen, who led the Quakers with 18.3 points per game coming into Monday, also had five assists on the night. Cartwright and Tyler Bernardini added 10 and 14 points, respectively.
The Quakers enjoyed a 31-17 rebound advantage over the Tigers on Monday, including 11 on the offensive end of the court. The Quakers also shot 30 free throws on the night. Cartwright led Penn with 6-of-8 from the charity stripe despite playing just 17 minutes.

One of the nation's most long-standing college basketball rivalries continues Monday night, when the Penn Quakers host the Princeton Tigers at the Palestra at 7 p.m. in the 225th meeting between the Ivy League schools.
The Quakers have a three-game winning streak, including a surprising 84-80 victory against St. Joe's in the Palestra on Saturday. Paced by Tyler Bernardini's 24 points, Penn built a 23-point lead in the second half against St. Joe's before holding off a strong surge from the Hawks.
Princeton began the season a disappointing 1-5, but has rebounded nicely by winning nine of their last 12 games. The Tigers split road tilts against Cornell and Columbia to open Ivy League play, besting Columbia 62-58 a couple Saturdays ago before having more than two weeks off.
Penn leads the series 122-102, but Princeton has won the last five matchups.

Penn Vs. Harvard: Quakers Host No. 25 Crimson In Ivy League Battle
On Friday night, the Pennsylvania Quakers basketball team will host the 25th ranked Harvard Crimson in a crucial Ivy League showdown. The Quakers own a lackluster 12-10 record on the season, but are still in contention for the Ivy League title thanks to their conference play, where they're 4-1 this season. A win against the Crimson – who are 20-2 overall, 6-0 in conference play and sit atop the Ivy League standings – would increase the Quakers chances to obtain the conference title.
Harvard hasn't lost a game since January 3, when they lost to the Fordham Rams. The Quakers are coming off a road win against the Brown Bears and have won five of their last six games. Senior guard, Zack Rosen, leads Penn in scoring at 18.3 per game, boasting impressive shooting percentages of 48/41/88. Harvard's leading scorer is Laurent Rivard at 11.3 per game.
