GAME NOTES: With a 69-52 rout of Cornell on Saturday, the Penn Quakers picked
up their 22nd Ivy League Championship and their 19th outright title. With an
automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament already in hand, Fran Dunphy's Quakers
close out the regular season trying to go undefeated in conference play, as
they make the short trip to Princeton this evening, to battle the Tigers from
Jadwin Gym. The Quakers put away the league crown thanks to 14 straight wins
heading into this contest. The Tigers, who usually push Penn to the limit in
terms of the league title, finished three games back in the standings this
season, despite coming on strong down the stretch with six wins in their last
seven games. On Saturday, Princeton claimed its 10th league win for the 10th
straight season, knocking off Columbia in a defensive battle, 44-40. Penn has
won 23 consecutive Ivy League games (excluding playoff game), ranking as the
longest conference win streak in the nation. The Quakers posted a 10-point win
over the Tigers on February 11th in Philadelphia.

Forward Ugonna Onyekwe and guards Andrew Toole and Tim Begley each scored 13
points, as Penn won the Ivy League title and earned an automatic bid to the
NCAA tournament with a lopsided win over Cornell. It extended Penn's current
win streak to 14 games, as the Quakers won the Ivy League championship for a
second straight season. Ugonna just missed a double-double in the game, as he
grabbed nine rebounds. Penn shot a scorching 52 percent from the floor in the
first half and took an 11-point lead into the break, never looking back in the
second half. Despite averaging just 70.0 ppg this year, the kind of
suffocating defense the Quakers have played has made it quite easy for the
team to haul in the conference crown. Opponents are managing just 59.1 ppg
this year, on a mere .400 shooting percentage. There is plenty of depth for
Penn at the offensive end, with four players averaging double figures. Onyekwe
leads the way in both scoring (15.9 ppg) and rebounding (6.5 rpg) and is
followed in the scoring column by Jeff Schiffner (11.6 ppg), Koko Archibong
(10.8 ppg) and Toole (10.6 ppg).

The Tigers shot a miserable .294 from the floor, including a worse .200 from
behind the arc (6-of-30), but still got the victory over Columbia, in a four-
point win, as the team posted its 10th conference win of the season. Sophomore
forward/center Judson Wallace was the only Tiger to finish in double figures
in the game, as he posted 13 points, while tying for team-high in rebounds
with seven. Forward Ray Robins added eight points and seven boards to the
cause, but it was career-reserve guard Pete Hegseth, who made the difference
in the game, hitting a pair of crucial three-pointers down the stretch to
secure the victory. The loss of talented guard Spencer Gloger (15.7 ppg) to
academics in mid-February certainly didn't aid a Princeton team that averages
just 66.5 ppg. Robins (10.7 ppg), Will Venable (10.7 ppg) and Wallace (10.5
ppg) have had to pick up the slack, but none of them are explosive scorers
that can carry a team to victory. Wallace has done a nice job on the glass for
the Tigers, leading the team with nearly six caroms per outing (5.8).

The Quakers are just one win shy of recording their seventh undefeated season
in the Ivy League. If they do so, Penn will be only the third team in the
nation to go undefeated in conference play this season (Kentucky, Weber
State). That is not only likely, but almost guaranteed, as Princeton just
lacks the offensive wherewithal to hang with Penn as the game wears down.

Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Penn 73, Princeton 64

GAME NOTES: The top-seeded Butler Bulldogs find themselves in the Horizon
League Tournament Championship game for the sixth time in the last seven
years, as this time they have to battle with the second-seeded Wisconsin-
Milwaukee Panthers from the U.S. Cellular Arena in Milwaukee. The Panthers
have waited nearly 107 years for the chance to advance to the NCAA Tournament
and put themselves in position to do so with a thrilling 75-73 victory over
third-seeded Illinois-Chicago on Saturday. With the win the Panthers improved
to an impressive 13-0 in games played in Milwaukee this season, including 12-0
at home this season. UW-Milwaukee was rewarded with the second seed in the
tournament after going a school record 13-3 in the Horizon League this year,
which included winning nine of their last 11 league tilts in the regular
season. Butler will try to win its fifth league tournament crown tonight, as
it was able to advance to this game with a 58-55 victory over Detroit on
Saturday. It has now gone an unbeaten 4-0 from neutral site venues this season
and has improved to an impressive overall record of 25-4. The Bulldogs
captured the top seed for the fourth season in a row this year by going 14-2
in Horizon League action, while also putting up a mark of 9-4 when playing on
the road. Tonight marks the 24th meeting all-time between these two schools on
the hardwood, with the Bulldogs holding a commanding 20-3 series advantage.
Although Butler has been dominated over they years against the Panthers, the
two teams split their season series this year, with UW-Milwaukee winning the
first meeting of the season, 69-65. That victory was the first for the
Panthers against the Bulldogs since 1978, while Butler returned the favor in
the contest that decided the Horizon League regular season title, with a 76-74
win in Indianapolis.

Clay Tucker poured in 24 points on 14-of-17 shooting from the foul line, to
lead the Panthers in their win against Illinois-Chicago. Tucker also finished
the game with six rebounds and a team-high five assists, while also blocking a
three-point shot by the Flames in the final seconds of regulation, that would
have given UIC the victory instead of a trip home. Dylan Page added 22 points
on 10-of-10 shooting from the foul line and pulled down a team-best nine
boards. Page also had a game-high four blocks, while Ronnie Jones chipped in
16 points on 4-of-5 shooting from behind the arc and Nate Mielke knocked in 10
points on a perfect 3-of-3 shooting from the field. The Panthers converted 29-
of-37 free throw attempts, helping them overcome just 40.8 percent shooting
from the floor and 28.6 percent shooting from three-point territory. UW-
Milwaukee did a very good job at the defensive end of the court, as they held
the Flames' leading scorers to just 10 points on 4-of-13 shooting from the
field. UIC also shot just 39.7 percent from the floor and connected on only
16-of-24 shooting from the foul line.

Joel Cornette was one of only two Butler players in double figures in its win
against Detroit, finishing with 19 points on a perfect 8-of-8 shooting from
the field. Cornette also pulled down eight rebounds, while Brandon Miller
chipped in 12 points on 4-of-4 shooting from the foul line. Duane Lightfoot
did a solid job in a key reserve role, adding nine points and five rebounds
coming off the bench. Mike Monserez shot only 2-of-6 from the floor and 1-of-4
from behind the arc, but still finished with eight points and game-high 11
boards. Butler shot 42.2 percent from the field and 22.7 percent from three-
point range, while connecting on 15-of-19 attempts from the charity stripe.
The Bulldogs held a very hot shooting Detroit team to 44.4 percent shooting
from the floor and sent it to the foul line only two times, although it did
convert both of the free throw attempts. Darnell Archey had just five points
on 1-of-6 shooting from the field and from three-point land against Detroit,
but he was instrumental in the Bulldog's last win against the Panthers,
scoring a team-high 15 points on 5-of-10 shooting from beyond the arc. Avery
Sheets would end up winning that game at the buzzer for Butler, as he drained
a three-point shot with no time left in regulation.

The last four games between these two teams has been decided by a total of
only eight points and three of those four games came down to a last second
buzzer beater. This could end up being the most memorable game in Horizon
League history, as the two best and deepest teams in the league will do battle
for the ultimate prize, a berth in the Big Dance.

Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Butler 74, Wisconsin-Milwaukee 73
