Between Space Jam-themed parties and the resurgent choker trend, it’s clear that the ‘90s are still all that for Penn students. But with their announcement Sunday night, the Social Planning and Events Committee has taken Penn’s ‘90s obsession one step further. The branch of SPEC that brought speakers like Anna Kendrick and Serena Williams to campus, SPEC Connaissance, is bringing Kenan Thompson to Penn on Tuesday, March 21 to speak at Irvine Auditorium. “We thought that Kenan would be great, because not only do we all see him every weekend on ‘Saturday Night Live,’ but we also grew SEE SPEC PAGE A2

Ivy League regular season championship? Check. Ivy League Tournament championship? Check that, too. Pen n women’s ba sketba l l marched out to a 57-48 victory over Princeton in the championship game of the first-ever Ivy League Tournament, earning a bid to the NCAA Tournament next weekend.

It will be the team’s third trip to the Big Dance in four years. Ultimately, the qualities of Penn’s win over Princeton were the same qualities that have brought them such unprecedented success in recent seasons — strong defense, methodical offense and clinical finishing. Everything started to go right for the tournament’s No. 1 seed after once the second quarter started. A tight first ten minutes left the

game in gridlock, with Penn only up 15-14. But in the second period, the Quakers locked the game down. They allowed just four points — the lowest total the team has ever given up in a quarter. In the same time, they moved the ball patiently and deliberately on offense, putting up 14 in the quarter. “We came in knowing that defense was gonna win us the game,” tournament-MVP Michelle

Nwokedi said, emphasizing that the team needed to focus on getting one stop after another. It worked, and the team’s offense came along with it, she said. The Quakers were clinical on offense, allowing them to take possessions slowly and control the pace of the game to their liking. Shooting 46 percent in the second and third quarters, the team’s average SEE CHAMPS PAGE B2

Break can hurt low-income students Dining halls were closed over spring break

Lack of financial aid options means that many lower-income students don’t have the option to travel or participate in spring break programs.

Spring break is usually a time for relaxation and freedom, but for first-generation and low income Penn students, the week-long break can be a time of anxiety and economic worry. With dining halls closed, some students have trouble finding affordable options for food since many depend on their meal plan. But as a part of the Albert M. Greenfield Intercultural Center’s support for FGLI students, the GIC had a food pantry that students could utilize.

“It creates an issue because not everyone can support themselves when it comes to food on campus ... this is one way we try to mitigate that,” graduate student Hulya Miclisse-Polat said, who interns at the GIC. Though several students say that this pantry system is very helpful, spring break has other shortcomings for FGLI students. One problem is not having the resources to travel or participate in special spring break programs. “We need to look at bigger systemic issues ... we need to think about the way these programs do not address [that],” Miclisse-Polat said.

Faculty members support graduate student unions Administrators insist grad. students aren’t employees NATALIE KHAN Staff Reporter

Fifty-three Penn professors released a letter Sunday night in support of the graduate students’ movement to create a labor union. Get Employees Together at the University of Pennsylvania, or GET-UP, is the student group advocating to form the union. The group has the support of over 1,000 Penn graduate students, and made its movement public over a week ago to gain more support. Some of this support has come from faculty members. After GET-UP’s declaration was released to the public, professors including Suvir Kaul of the English Department wished to demonstrate support for the graduate students and opted to write the letter. They circulated the letter among likely supporters during spring break to gain signatures. The letter explains that

up with him on ‘All That’ and ‘Kenan and Kel,’” College senior Caroline Pitofsky said. Pitofsky, a SPEC Connaissance director who teamed with SPEC Film to put on the event, added that now was a great time to bring Thompson to campus. “He’s currently very popular and funny, but he’s also been sort of a constant in a lot of people’s entertainment for a long time — especially for our generation,” Pitofsky said. And Pitofsky’s fellow SPEC Connaissance directors agree. “He’s popular now, but he’s also an almost nostalgic figure that most people on campus will recognize from their childhoods,” Wharton senior India Cooper said.

graduate students have the legal right to form a union and outlines some benefits. “These are graduate student workers, with an emphasis on workers,” Kaul said. “We believe that unions are a good way to allow any organization, including a university, to best represent itself.” The faculty letter lauds unions as a preservation of democracy at the micro level. “At a moment when federal and state administrators have begun to roll back hard won civic and collective rights,” the letter reads, “it is incumbent on universities to model a different understanding of the relations between administrations and workers, one that is visibly participatory, collective and democratic.” Aaron Bartels-Swindells, GET-UP member and doctoral candidate, added that although the University has a democratic student government, there is no way for graduate students to ensure that administration acts on any measures they may pass. He does not consider this to be

democratic and hopes a collective bargaining union can address this. University spokesperson Stephen MacCarthy released a statement when GET-UP first became public. The statement expressed the University’s view of graduate students as “mentees and future colleagues,” not employees, and linked to two new University webpages — FAQs on unionization and programs available to graduate students to improve their conditions, including new initiatives for next year. MacCarthy did not wish to add to his earlier statement for this article. Other counterarguments to unionization include its potential to degrade the relationships that exist between faculty and graduate students. However, the faculty letter asserts that graduate students would negotiate with administrators and not faculty, and also cites a study that shows that unions actually foster better relationships between faculty and students. Bartels-Swindells cited a

statement from the University of Michigan’s unionized graduate students — “our material conditions are your learning conditions.” That is, when graduate students are satisfied with their working environment, they perform their jobs better. Bartels-Swindells also explained that the court decision that allowed unions to form at private universities pertained to teacher assistants and research assistants, but the National Labor Relations Board will decide who is and is not protected if the decision to unionize comes to a vote, he said. Right now, GET-UP can only examine previous cases to speculate as to who the union would protect. GET-UP member and doctoral candidate Gabriel Raeburn said promoting the union has been rewarding. Also, because GET-UP spreads its message via one-on-one conversations most of the time, it has bypassed many difficulties inherent in Penn’s decentralized graduate school network of 12 separate institutions.

Tickets are available for $5 online or in front of SteinbergDietrich Hall on Locust Walk, beginning March 13 at 10 a.m. Thompson joined “Saturday Night Live” in 2003, becoming the only “SNL” member to be born after the show first aired. According to an official SPEC statement, the event “will provide a unique perspective on the entertainment industry and, hopefully, give audience members more than a few fits of laughter.” Pitofsky echoed the hope that Thompson’s long history with comedy will help him share a unique outlook on the state of entertainment. “We try to keep up with what’s generally happening in pop culture and entertainment to see who is doing something of note at the moment,” the SPEC Connaissance director said. “And we

thought that Kenan had a unique perspective, given that he’s been on similar types of shows his whole life and also started at such a young age with sketch comedy.” But this won’t be Thompson’s first time at Penn. In 2008, Thompson hosted Mask and Wig’s annual ComFest, in what was deemed an easy decision by former ComFest planners. Thompson is “one of the younger guys in ‘SNL’ and also a legend for those of us growing up in the ‘90s,” Andrew Reich, former ComFest co-director and 2009 College graduate, told the DP in 2008. As for SPEC, their goal of providing joy to Penn’s campus with celebrity appearances remains unchanged, as Pitofsky said. “We’re hoping that everyone’s happy with the event, enjoys it, and has a great time.”

The speaking engagement with Kenan Thompson “will provide a unique perspective on the entertainment industry and, hopefully, give audience members more than a few fits of laughter.”

Opioids, the Pentagon and PTSD: the University has a center for that The group finds veterans are often mistreated NATALIE KAHN Staff Reporter

Penn Law professor Claire Finkelstein would tell you that our government does not always respect the rule of law. To that end, she established the Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law, through Penn Law, in 2012 to bring together academics who can stimulate policy change. Today CERL represents scholars whose disciplines span from law to mechanical engineering and contribute to CERL’s roundtable discussions with policymakers, volumes of essays and briefing papers and to the information that members like Finkelstein present to individuals in power. Last summer, Finkelstein briefed individuals at the Pentagon about the interrogation of detainees. She has also briefed the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Middle East Division about Islamic State group funding, according to CERL’s 2015-16 report. Finkelstein defines the rule of law as the physical manifestation of the idea that our government is one

of “laws, not men.” In other words, the concept that “no one is above the law.” She explained that she established CERL after learning that the government had been torturing detainees at Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib despite chapter 18 of the United States law code that deems torture illegal. She disapproved of lawyers hiding the government’s neglect of anti-torture laws, as they were bypassing the rule of law. CERL deals closely with military affairs as well. CERL executive board member Stephen Xenakis, a retired brigadier general and Army medical corps officer who now advises the Department of Defense, explained the connection between the rule of law and the military. “We need to understand the consequences of going to war and factor that into the decision,” Xenakis said. CERL released a briefing paper in February on the connection between opioid addiction and post-traumatic stress injury among veterans, issues Finkelstein said had previously been regarded as unrelated to each other. The paper argues that veterans have been “disproportionately impacted by the opioid crisis,” as

doctors often prescribe them opioids for their chronic pain from war injuries. As many veterans have undiagnosed PTSI, the paper continues, they are two times more susceptible to opioid addiction. Finkelstein added that when veterans are prescribed opioids, they are seldom even asked if they have PTSI. She suggested this simple measure could save lives. The report referenced a study from the McGuire VA Medical Center, which concluded that those with PTSI are four times more likely to abuse substances. Between 2010 and 2015, the number of veterans addicted to opioids rose by 55 percent, according to the National Institute of Health. Xenakis added that this problem is larger than doctors — “We’ve got to recognize the marketing,” he said. The report referred to an article from The Fix and stated that the pharmaceutical industry has spent over $880 million to reduce restrictions on opioid prescriptions and that opioid marketing materials have been known to target veterans. Finkelstein said that she has already received a phone call from the Pennsylvania governor’s office praising the briefing paper.

Gonzalez also sees issues with these programs. He mentioned that many trips over the break, such as alternative spring breaks, do not offer financial aid, making it difficult for students with lower income backgrounds to participate. Gonzalez added that this difficulty is felt when some other Penn students get to take expensive spring break vacations. “I am Puerto Rican and I have never been to Puerto Rico before ... it is just something that is probably not gonna happen for awhile,” Gonzalez said. Despite this, Gonzalez has found a strong community of lower income and first generation students at Penn, many of whom stayed over spring break as well. “I don’t feel isolated,

But she also noted that CERL’s fight to preserve the rule of law in government is far from over — the justice department’s justification of President Trump’s contacts with Russia and Trump’s public endorsement of the illegal practice of torture worries her. “It is utterly demoralizing for members of the military and members of the intelligence services to have a president advocating illegal measures,” she said. To Xenakis, who served a 28-year army career and whose father was in the military as well, CERL’s goal is personal. “The rule of law is a foundation of democracy,” he said. “[CERL is] right in the sweet spot when it comes to what’s important to a democracy like ours.”

there is a community for me ... we all work together [and it is] definitely a network,” Gonzalez said. Another College freshman, who asked to be left anonymous for financial privacy, found that especially during short breaks, choosing whether or not to travel is a tough decision to make. “[It is hard] having to balance financially what I want to do and what I need to do,” the student said. The freshman appreciates getting to know people from different socio-economic backgrounds, but added that there is more to be done in terms of making sure lower income and first generation students are comfortable. “There are a lot of interesting opportunities, but I feel like often times Penn doesn’t recognize that everyone can’t afford it,” the student said.

OPINION

Hate the player, hate the game

THE CONVERSATION | Why self-interest shouldn’t be the only rational motive MONDAY MARCH 13, 2017 VOL. CXXXIII, NO. 30 133rd Year of Publication CARTER COUDRIET President DAN SPINELLI Executive Editor LUCIEN WANG Print Director ALEX GRAVES Digital Director ALESSANDRO VAN DEN BRINK Opinion Editor SYDNEY SCHAEDEL Senior News Editor WILL SNOW Senior Sports Editor CHRIS MURACCA Design Editor CAMILLE RAPAY Design Editor JULIA SCHORR Design Editor VIBHA KANNAN Enterprise Editor GENEVIEVE GLATSKY News Editor TOM NOWLAN News Editor

I went through a phase growing up when I was really into the saying “Don’t hate the player, hate the game.” I’m not sure where I first picked it up, but it had just the right amounts of flippant attitude and pseudo-profundity that young James was really into. So I said it a lot. Like annoying a lot. In situations when it didn’t really make all that much sense. I mention this because I recently heard that phrase again somewhere, and upon a Google search, found that it originated from Ice-T’s 1999 song “Don’t Hate the Playa.” So I just wanted to tell everyone whom I annoyed with that phrase, don’t hate the player, hate Ice-T. But back to the game. This idea of representing situations as a game is far more prevalent than just in 20th century rap. Game theory is a relatively new but now ubiquitous way of thinking about the social world. It is now standard curriculum in the fields of economics and

psychology, but even students from other disciplines will have encountered some form of it in their lives. For example, the prisoner’s dilemma is an idea that is so ingrained in our world that most people are at least aware of its general premise. To simplify, the dilemma suggests a situation in which two people both acting in self-interest can lead to a situation that is worse off for both parties than if they had cooperated with each other. This can be applied to real-life situations, such as an arms race among nations. The best scenario for every nation would be to live in a world without any weapons of mass destruction, but from the perspective of any single nation, it is better to have such weapons regardless of whether others do or not. Every nation thinks the same way, and therefore we have a world filled with such weapons, which is worse off for everyone. Of course, this is an oversimplification, and ex-

periments involving the dilemma do suggest a more complicated result. But I do think that most people come away with the take that games in life are ultimately doomed to result in such a non-ideal scenario. We live in an economic system that tells us that being self-interested is the only rational

choice but to accept the imperfect world as it is. Somewhere Ice-T spits out, “I didn’t choose the game, the game chose me.” I’m a naturally cynical person, and this way of thinking about the world has always intuitively made sense to me. And I do think that in the big picture, this

… I do think that we are all capable, that we should be capable, of extending a hand first, even if we end up worse off for it sometimes.” and even morally correct — Ayn Rand, anyone? — basis of action. Whether genuine altruism is even possible is itself a point of debate. Even as we criticize imperfect cultures or systems, no one is willing, or perhaps able, to make the commitment towards anything different. We seem to have no

way of considering situations seems most applicable. There’s a reason why socialist economies fail, why the world can’t figure out climate change, why competition is the only form of social interaction that can last. But I think it’s dangerous to extend this mentality to our individual lives, to as-

sume that such selfishness is the only rational basis of action we can and should have. Of course, trust is something to be earned, but it is also something we should afford others. I find it fascinating that the handshake is thought to have originated as a gesture of peace — an indication that no weapon was held. And I do think that we are all capable, that we should be capable, of extending a hand first, even if we end up worse off for it sometimes. I suppose one could call this, “naivety.” But even if it turns out to be ultimately wrong, I think that this faith that others will reciprocate our goodwill is necessary in our world. Accepting defecting as the only rational option in all cases, thereby creating a world in which no one can be criticized or morally blamed for any action pertaining to self-interest is surely undesirable. The standard, even if it is an ideal that could never be met, ought to be a world in which we come together to

JAMES LEE make it better for ourselves, where collective action problems can be resolved through individuals’ willingness to trust people. And so we ought to go on believing that selfishness should remain an object of condemnation. Or else the only world possible would be the confines of our own cell, each of us looking across the row at others’ empty gazes, alone, shrugging, all of us protesting that we had no other choice.

Activism through action: why I joined Teach for America GUEST COLUMN BY JOE SAGEMAN I scrolled through Penn’s career plans survey report. The first five results under the section for economics majors read “Financial Analyst, Marketing Analyst, Finance Analyst, Analyst, Database Analyst” (Really, you can go and look for yourself). A lump hardened in my throat. It was the summer before my junior year, and I was convinced that a quantitative major was the credential that would unlock the world for me. You can imagine my disappointment when I realized that those horrible problem sets were all for naught, that the only reward they seemed to lead to was an extremely vague and boring-sounding title at a company I had never heard of. My discovery was unsettling and a little humbling, but ultimately set me on the right track. The next few months forced me to reflect on what work was most meaningful to me. All the while, a more daunting question

loomed over me: What did I want to get out of a career and, ultimately, out of life? The first question was relatively easy to answer. I found my niche in the Political Science Department. I’m academically inclined; I love to read and think about big problems in my city, my country, my world. But the times when I’m truly engaged — when I feel that I’m truly at my best — are when I immerse myself into those problems directly. My freshman and sophomore years at Penn, I spent a day a week volunteering at LIFT-Philadelphia, a community resource center where I met one-onone with members looking for a helping hand out of poverty. I taught them how to build resumes and draft cover letters, to navigate the internet and file tax returns and to prepare for job interviews and find the nearest soup kitchen. In return, they told me their stories. Immigrants — doctors and engineers in

their countries of origin — working at Dunkin’ Donuts because their advanced degrees are worthless here. Mothers raising their sons to resist the gravitational pull of the streets. Homeless men with dreams of one day going to college or starting their own busi-

They taught me that I can only hope to understand and solve our nation’s most pressing problems by feeling their human impact and that I should pursue those solutions against all odds. I was inspired to do, not to analyze. During my junior year, the answer to my

All the while, a more daunting question loomed over me: What did I want to get out of a career and, ultimately, out of life?” nesses. The relationships I built at LIFT made me a part of the Philadelphia community — not just the Penn bubble. They made me deeply invested in the success of the city I love, sensitive to the sting of its crushing failures and to the rush of its exhilarating triumphs.

second big question began to crystallize. LIFT unfortunately had to close its Philadelphia office, so I began tutoring at a juvenile prison in North Philadelphia. I never had any particular desire to work with kids, but once I started, I found that they brought a whole different kind of en-

ergy to the table — and I fed off of it. At the same time, one of my close friends who had since graduated from Penn glowed with pride as she reported back to me about her sixth graders in Memphis. She had joined Teach for America in 2014 and encouraged me to apply. I knew of the program and that it had produced many of today’s brightest minds and activists including DeRay Mckesson, Brittany Packnett and Clint Smith. Once I did more homework, I found that it was a great fit for me. Teaching, particularly in underserved communities, is a high-stakes job. It’s a responsibility that most college graduates won’t be trusted with in their first year out of school, a challenge I actively sought. I was attracted to Teach for America’s vision that change starts with human connections and its willingness to have tough, candid conversations about complex problems.

While many corps mem bers prefer to be placed in their hometowns they share an attachment with, as a lifelong East Coast city kid, I looked at Teach for America as an opportunity to explore a different part of the country. I chose to send myself to rural Arkansas, where I look forward to teaching high school math, spending some time in church and sampling the barbecue. Teach for America isn’t for everyone. The work is too important for it to be a “plan B” or a stepping stone to more glamorous and lucrative endeavors. But if you can’t wait to make an impact from day one of your career and you’re serious about building strong, sustainable and equitable communities across this nation, the corps may be right for you.

Children of faculty reflect on growing up at Penn Current university students reflect back on dorm life KELLY HEINZERLING Staff Reporter

“My daughter believes she’s a college student and she’s nine years old,” New College House faculty director Campbell Grey said. “She’s a super super super super senior.” Isabel Grey, along with her three year old — or as she says, junior — brother Connor Grey, are two of the 15 kids who Cambell Grey estimates currently live in Penn’s college dorms. “I get to have lots of playmates whenever I want,” Isabel said. “I like the weekends since most people are free and they only have to study for like, two tests or something.” College freshman Keira Bokreta also lives in New College House,

but calls Kings Court English College House her home. Bokreta, who applied to Penn regular decision last spring, decided to attend the university where she was raised. “I feel really comfortable on campus and I’m happy to be around my family and people I grew up with,” Bokreta said. “It’s funny now being the same age as people, because they’ve always been the big kids.” Despite having lived her whole life on campus, Bokreta said attending university here is still a “new experience,” since growing up she knew more about where to get ice cream than where to go to class. “When I was little, I don’t really remember thinking about where I would go to college that much,” Bokreta said. “I really appreciated the strong sense of community at Kings Court English College House and the family that I gained

... I became really close with [the staff] and it was like an extended family living in that building.” Even now, Bokreta remains only a block away from her father, the house dean of Kings Court English College House and her mother, as well as her brother, who is currently a junior at Drexel University. Sebi Santiago-Rivas, a student who grew up with Bokreta in Kings Court English College House is now a freshman studying music education at Temple. Santiago-Rivas also stayed in Philadelphia, close to his parents as well as his “extended family.” “I feel like I have a healthy amount of separation, but I’m close enough that I can go back,” Santiago-Rivas said. “I would not trade [living in Kings Court English College House] for anything in the world, it was by far the best thing that ever happened to me.” He said growing up in a dorm

made him both more “accept[ing]” and “knowledgeable” about the world. “[Kinds Court English College House] is responsible for a lot of who I am now,” Santiago-Rivas said. “It’s an experience that I wish more people had, because, at least for me, it was very fundamental in creating a very global perspective and understanding of people.” Grey agreed that the dorm provides a unique environment for a child to grow up in. “They live in a really diverse community, their world is not just us,” Grey added. “They have an Algerian uncle, a Puerto Rican uncle and aunt and a Caribbean grandfather: they have this sense, I think from day one, that the world is diverse.” Santiago-Rivas found that while living in Kings Court English College House was positive, it was also quite difficult to explain to his

classmates. “It must have been first or second grade,” Santiago-Rivas said of when he realized that not everyone lives in a dorm. “I did feel a bit isolated when I was growing up ... at the time, of course, I was more concerned about being like everyone else and fitting in.” With time, though, he said he came to appreciate the opportunities that Kings Court English College House offers. “My extended family by blood all live in Puerto Rico,” SantiagoRivas said. “I am not a native English speaker. Both my parents spoke Spanish exclusively to me when I was growing up, and I learned English just from the students.” Grey hopes his children will also benefit from the opportunities that living in the dorm offers. “They are really well-socially adjusted kids, they find themselves

in a world where they’re stimulated and engaged and, most importantly, taken seriously,” Grey said. “It’s a powerful and enriching experience for all of us.” It’s an experience that Isabel has certainly appreciated. “I like Connor’s birthday/playing on the lawn ... and Halloween because kids were handing out candy and I got a lot of candy,” Isabel said when deciding what her favorite part about the dorm was. “And homecoming we have a big party [to see friends who graduated].” With her recent move to New College House, Isabel’s family and friends expanded and include, what Grey calls, the “neighborhood” of Hill, New College House and Kings Court English College House. “I can’t tell you whether it’s better or worse than any other kind of experience,” Grey said. “This is our home, we only have this home.”

PRINCETON 72 64 PENN

March SADNESS Despite not trailing for a single second of regulation, Penn falls to Princeton in overtime heartbreaker COLE JACOBSON Sports Editor

There was no way it could’ve lived up to the hype. It was the first-ever men’s basketball Ivy League tournament game. It was at the sport’s most historic arena in front of a crowd stacked with fans from both sides. And, oh yeah, it was

Penn-Princeton, with the conference’s best rivals going at each other for the third time this year — the former having snuck into the tournament on fire after an 0-6 start to start Ivy play, and the latter not having lost at all since December. So in theory, this should’ve been one of the most epic games in University history. In practice, it absolutely shattered even the most optimistic expectations. But despite playing what has to be in the conversation for the best ever of the two schools’ 237 all-time meetings, the Cinderella run for Penn men’s basketball finally came

to an end today. Though the Quakers never trailed in regulation and held a 10-point second half lead, the squad came up agonizingly short of stunning the unbeaten Tigers in a heartbreaking 72-64 overtime loss. “From what we experienced in the regular season to get to this point, and then to culminate with a game like that — I’m proud of our guys,” Penn coach Steve Donahue said. “Incredible effort, great venue to have it in — Princeton played very well and deserved to win, but I can’t say enough about our effort, our resilience, our grit through it all, in particular the game today.”

The upset hopes for the Red and Blue (13-15, 6-9 Ivy) were looking strong early, as the team’s recipe for its quick start was awfully similar to what it looked like late in the regular season. After leading Penn with an average of 12.1 points per game in conference play, Ryan Betley picked up where he left off in the first postseason game of his college career, scoring seven of Penn’s first ten points and leading his team to a 28-19 first-half lead. “It was a good experience getting to play in the first Ivy League tournament game. We’ve been through a lot this year, starting off 0-6 and coming

back,” said Betley, who secured his first double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds en route to being named to the All-Tournament first team. “I think the three of us [freshmen] — me, Dev [Goodman] and AJ [Brodeur] — we learned a lot this year, and I think we’re going to be really fired up and ready to work in the offseason to try to get back to this spot and win.” Though Amir Bell helped the Tigers (22-6, 15-0 Ivy) stay afloat in the first half, the thorough defensive energy from the Quakers made SEE SADNESS PAGE B4

Five lessons learned from Penn’s heartbreaking defeat Positives to take from overtime loss to Princeton WILL SNOW Senior Sports Editor

There’s no escaping it — Penn men’s basketball choked in the end of its Ivy League Tournament loss to Princeton. Despite leading for virtually the entire game, and despite the fact that Princeton did not hold a lead until overtime, the Quakers had their hearts broken when Myles Stephens put back a second offensive rebound into the net with just seconds left to send the game into overtime. The league-champion Tigers went on to dominate in overtime and advance to the final of the tournament. Penn’s spirit looked remarkably shattered after the final whistle, but the players can go home with their

heads held high. Here are five positive lessons to draw out of the heartbreak: Penn can hang with the very best The Quakers did not trail for one single second in regulation. They led for the entire game, until Princeton tied it up with eight minutes left at 49. The contest was then tied up at 51. And 53. And 57. And 59. The Tigers’ first lead in the game didn’t come until overtime. This was the same team that went 14-0 in the regular season, and on Saturday, they looked second-best to the No. 4 Quakers. They had the talent to weather the storm, but Penn was surely the better team on the day. Penn had the fire, the passion and the grit to maintain control of the game right until the final minutes. The team just didn’t have the cutting edge of talent

that Princeton was able to take advantage of. After a long season of ups and downs, the Quakers can go home with their heads held high knowing that they can hang with the very best. Coming seconds away from beating Princeton along with wins over Harvard and Yale shows that this team is capable of more than it achieved this season. And that’s good news for the future.

the court for 40 minutes. He crashed the boards, he finessed layups and he drained threes. In short, he posed an all-around threat that no one else on the court could match. But he started the season on the sidelines with a broken arm. It took him until a few games into conference play to feature for his team, and he did not for one second look back. Betley only got better as he got games under his belt, and he finished the season as the team’s best player — the kind of inside-outside athlete that coach Steve Donahue has dreamed of recruiting. Next year, the team could very well be built around him. And that could pay dividends down the stretch, both for the player and for the team. Penn is the most entertaining team in the Ivy League The Quakers may not be the most talented team in the league — and their regular season record of 6-8 proves it — but they sure are the most entertaining. Whenever opposing coaches praise Penn, as Princeton’s Mitch Henderson did after his team’s victory on Saturday, they always mention the team’s spirit and mentality.

Henderson said that Penn’s aggression put his Princeton on its heels for almost the entire game. So the Red and Blue has can boast heart and the grit as its primary assets. No disrespect to their talent — the three freshmen at the very least are certainly the real deal — but that’s what makes the team so entertaining to watch in the first place. The zero to hero “Zombie Quakers” story was one of the greatest in Penn basketball history. Obviously, a fairy tale NCAA Tournament ending would have been even better, but this will do. It was still the greatest storyline in the league this season. Home court advantage is totally a thing On Friday before any games had been played, coach Steve Donahue argued that his team didn’t have any home court advantage. It was Spring Break, he said, so it wasn’t like there would be 7,000 students in attendance. Well, there may not have been 7,000 students, but there were at least a couple thousand students and alumni that combined to form a raucous, rowdy atmosphere. When the ball tipped off against Princeton, boy, was the Palestra rocking. T ha n k f ully, P r inceton’s

coach Henderson gracefully said that he didn’t regret having the tournament at the Palestra, as it’s the best venue for the event. If Henderson is happy, despite having almost been scalped by that home court advantage, then hopefully the league will, too, and the tournament will stay at its rightful home. You’ll be seeing this team again next year. And the year after that. Starting three freshmen today for Penn was a statement of intent. The trio of rookies deserved to be there, as some of the best players on the team, and that bodes very well for the team in the future. The loss of senior Matt Howard will be a large blow to the team, but the Quakers will recover. The freshmen will only get better, meaning that so will the squad. If the final eight games of the regular season are anything to go by, Penn will surely finish in the top four of the league next season. They could even place second, with a potential title challenge in the works, though Princeton will remain strong as ever. One thing is for sure though — if Penn plays like it did on Saturday, and in the final half of the season, it will be a force to be reckoned with for years to come.

time of possession was well over 20 seconds. In many ways, it was vintage Penn women’s basketball. “We were just really dialed in,” Ivy League Coach of the Year Mike McLaughlin said. The team’s performance was typified by Nwokedi, the Ivy League Player of the Year, who was a thorn in the Tigers’ side on both ends of the court. On top of her 15 points and three assists offensively, she also mustered up three blocks and two steals to go with her 11 rebounds — securing her second straight double-double. For all this, she was named the tournament’s most outstanding player. Another standout performer for Penn was junior Anna Ross. The guard led Penn in scoring with 17 points, but the stat sheet alone can’t speak to how clutch many of those were. With the Quakers’ long possessions, many shots came down to the buzzer, and Ross nailed several shots as the shot clock expired to keep Penn going. “Anna’s one of the best shooters you can find,” McLaughlin said. “We just have to convince her of that. We just kind of have to change her mentality at times, the way this group works, and make her more of an attack guard… She’s the one that gave

One instrumental player in Penn’s win over Princeton was junior guard Anna Ross, who scored a game-high 17 points.

us some separation [over Princeton].” But perhaps most surprising of all — in fact, maybe the only surprise on Sunday — was the performance of Kasey Chambers. Usually, Chambers doesn’t score much — just over five a game — but against Princeton she took far more shots and made the most of them, scoring 13 and dishing out five assists. Additionally, her harrying defense produced a pair of steals and kept Princeton’s guards at bay all afternoon long. “Kasey is a winner,” McLaughlin said. “She’s got heart, she’s got guts. She’s one

of the better winners I’ve ever been a part of — there’s nothing that stands in her way. I think the team understands that she’s really special.” Now automatically qualified for March Madness, the Quakers will see what seed they end up with and who they play on Monday night. They’ll then have a few days to rest up and prepare for another chance at their firstever NCAA Tournament win under coach McLaughlin. For now, though, they can enjoy the moment. Penn women’s basketball has won the first-ever Ivy League Tournament.

THE INAUGURAL IVY LEAGUE TOURNAMENT

PHOTOS BY ZACH SHELDON | SPORTS PHOTO EDITOR

This Saturday and Sunday, Penn men’s and women’s basketball played in the first-ever Ivy League Tournament. It was held on campus at the Palestra, and even though it was Spring Break, hundreds of students showed up to cheer Penn on. The women’s team won the tournament, advancing to the NCAA Tournament next weekend, while the men’s team lost an overtime heartbreaker to Princeton, who eventually won the tournament themselves.

A brief round-up of other Penn teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; breaks

Wrestling, gymnastics had standout performances COLE JACOBSON Sports Editor

You know all about Penn menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performances at the inaugural Ivy League tournament this weekend, but those teams were far from the only Red and Blue squads competing over a jampacked spring break. With nearly every spring sport in action, Penn Athletics saw some major accomplishments: Perhaps the story of spring break is the performance of Penn wrestling, which had a fantastic weekend at the EIWA Championships. Though the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score was well short of knocking off powerhouse and eventual champion Cornell, the Quakers saw some seriously impressive individual performances, led by Frank Mattiace, who became EIWA individual champion in the 197 pound weight class â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first EIWA champion in any weight class since Micah Burak in 2013. Beyond Mattiaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic effort, the Quakers also saw Casey Kent at 174, Joe Heyob at 184, May Bethea at 157 and Brooks Martino at 165 all qualify for the NCAA Championships taking place March 16-18. Speaking of individual champions, Penn fencing added a pair to the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championships this weekend. On the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side, sophomore epee Justin Yoo went back-to-back, securing his second individual title event in as many years with a 10-1 record in his marquee event. For the women, freshman saber Sara Papp took

home first in her event with a 9-2 mark, giving the Red and Blue a pair of champions. Overall, the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad qualified six for NCAA Championships and the women secured five of their own, giving both teams a chance to place highly in the national tournament. Not to be outdone, Penn gymnastics had its own recordbreaking performance on Sunday afternoon. Though the team had a disappointing Senior Meet the week prior, finishing in last place with a mediocre 191.475 score, the Temple Quad Meet saw a major breakthrough to give the team key momentum heading into next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ECAC Championships. Boosted by a school record 49.200 team score on bars â&#x20AC;&#x201D; led by insane scores of 9.900 from Kyra Levi and 9.925, the No. 2 mark in school history, from Emma Cullen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Red and Blue put up a team score of 193.95, their highest in any meet since February 2013. Unsurprisingly, the Quakers took first place. While wrestling and fencing took home some individual glory, Penn squash came up agonizingly short of doing the same at the CSA Individual Championships. After entering the tournament with an unblemished 15-0 record in individual matches, No. 1 seed Reeham Salah was already heavily favored in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bracket. The pressure was only further exacerbated by the withdrawal of presumptive No. 2 seed Sabrina Sohby of Harvard. But while Salah did make it all the way to the national championship match, she was stunned by Harvard freshman Gina Kennedy, who had also defeated Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

NICK BUCHTA | SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR EMERITUS

Penn wrestling will send five to NCAA Championships next weekend, including senior Frank Mattiace who became the Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first EIWA champion since 2013 in the 197-pound weight class.

several weeks, finishing with a 2-7 record. The team did take two of three games against Fairfield to get its first series win of the year, led by a complete game shutout by senior pitcher Mike Reitcheck in an 8-0 victory. And based on recent history, the wins and losses in Florida should be no big deal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in each of coach John Yurkowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first three seasons at Penn, the team had gone 0-6, 1-7 and 2-6 during its Florida trips, respectively, before finishing in the top half of the Ivy League in all three seasons. Penn softball saw eerily similar results in its own Florida venture, handing a ridiculously busy slate that saw the Quakers play ten games against ten different teams. Led by the consistent offensive production of Leah Allen (15 hits and .639 slugging)

and the dominant pitching of fellow senior Alexis Sargent (3-3, 2.79 ERA), the Red and Blue salvaged a 4-6 record against the strong southern competition, most notably including a 3-2 upset over South Florida in which Sargent pitched a complete game. Over on the tennis courts, both Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squads had their own dominant weeks in Florida. The men ended up going 5-1 over a busy week, topping Drexel in a local rivalry matchup before winning four of five matches down south, with the lone loss coming to No. 25 Tulane. As for the women, they came up agonizingly short of pulling off an upset over No. 26 FIU in a brutal 4-3 defeat, but they immediately responded by finishing the job in a dominant 5-2 win over No. 36 Florida State,

giving the Quakers the signature win they were looking for. And finally, in South Carolina, Penn menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf saw the highlyanticipated debut of interim coach Michael Blodgett at the Colleton River Collegiate in South Carolina. Unfortunately, the results didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet the hype entering the tournament, as Penn took last place out of 11 strong teams in the tournament. Providing a bright spot, junior Carter Thompson did take 18th place individually across the 11 schools with a +10 score over three days. Needless to say, it was a busy period for the Red and Blue in more places than just the Palestra. And though Penn womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball is prepared to embark on its March Madness run, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that spring season is fully underway.

SADNESS

plays â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what great teams do.â&#x20AC;? It was a back-and-forth battle from there, with Penn threatening to pull away but Princeton never allowing the lead to grow to more than four as an unbelievable crowd continued to grow increasingly energetic in the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final moments. With the score tied at 57 with under a minute remaining, it was time for someone to step up, and the Quakers had no doubts as to their go-to guy. After dropping 41 points over two games during his Senior Weekend to will the Red and Blue into extending his career, forward Matt Howard took the rock and hit a mid-range floater with a ridiculously friendly roll, putting Penn up 59-57 with 43 seconds to go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Absolutely [this was the type of moment weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been waiting for],â&#x20AC;? Donahue said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had incredible fan support since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here ... and more than that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that these guys playing at such an intense level, playing the game the right way, for both teams â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we appreciated a really good contingent from Princeton and a really good contention from Penn, on their feet the whole game. The level of ex-

contest would head to overtime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The play was for Amir to go to the rim, and I knew the ball might come off â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it came off right into my hands and I was able to put it in, so right place and right time,â&#x20AC;? said Stephens, who scored 14 of his game-high 21 points after halftime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say the momentum had shifted, but it gave us new life and we were able to take advantage of that.â&#x20AC;? Indeed, that new life would boost the Tigers in the extra session. Stephens scored four quick points to give Princeton its first lead of the day, and the Penn offense completely stagnated in the final minutes, as the Tigers went on a 9-0 run over the first four minutes of the extra session to stun the passionate Red and Blue crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were fired up in the sense that they got another chance, because we dominated for long periods of that game and they never led, and then theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re given five minutes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of human nature in this sport,â&#x20AC;? Donahue said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they got second life, they took full advantage of it; they came out and really played like a championship team.â&#x20AC;? For Penn, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a long offseason of reflection after coming up tantalizingly short of pulling off what was previously thought to be impossible. Though the team certainly feels it couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve advanced, Donahueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second season did bring some positives, with the team finishing in the top four of the conference for the first time in five years before outplaying the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top team for a strong portion of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game. Looking forward, the team will graduate only one rotational player, with honorable mention All-Ivy selection Howard being the Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only serious departure. And with such a youthful core returning fueled by the fire of this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gut-wrenching result, the building blocks are in place for Donahueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program to continue its rise of the Ancient Eight ranks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This league is really good. [Harvard and Yale] are really young and really good, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really young and really good, and three of the young kids [Bell, Stephens and Devin Cannady] for Princeton are really good. ... itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take commitment from all of us, including the guys coming in as recruits,â&#x20AC;? Donahue said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give them a little rest, and then theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work hard to take this step. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited about where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heading; I believe in what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing, I sense we have the right understanding of what it takes, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna come out and try to get to a championship level.â&#x20AC;?

Marie Stephan in the national semifinal. The tournament did bring a silver lining to Penn, though â&#x20AC;&#x201D; junior Melissa Alves, who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compete, wound up finishing the year as the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone undefeated player. Going back into the team sports, Penn womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse started things off with its home opener against Cornell â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a rematch of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ivy League tournament championship game, which the Big Red won. Unfortunately, the Red and Blue couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get revenge in the highly anticipated rematch, as Cornell took a 10-4 win to give Penn its first loss and move atop the Ancient Eight standings. The Quakers did respond with comfortable nonconference victories over Lehigh and Georgetown, though, and still hold an impressive 4-1 record and No. 12 national ranking. As for menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse, they had their own incredibly hyped spring break showdown when they traveled to State College to take on No. 5 Penn State in a matchup of undefeated in-state rivals. Unfortunately, the thenNo. 8 Quakers came up just short of their second straight upset after topping then-No. 6 Virginia the week prior, falling 14-13 in an epic contest. The rest of the week was pretty rocky for the Red and Blue, as they topped Navy 11-9 before being upset by unranked Michigan13-12 to fall to 3-2 on the year. Meanwhile, a quintet of Penn teams joined the majority of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student body by heading south to compete.

sure that Princeton wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get over the hump. Bringing some serious physicality throughout the afternoon in a man defense scheme, Penn ended up forcing a staggering eight first-half turnovers, allowing the squad to hold on to a 33-30 lead going into the break. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it was Penn; they made us out of sync early, and we gotta give all credit to them,â&#x20AC;? Princeton coach Mitch Henderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It felt like Penn-Princeton at the Palestra, and it was.â&#x20AC;? As the second half began, most in the Palestra may have assumed that it was time for Princeton to stop playing around and put the heavy underdogs away â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but the Tigers would do anything but coming out of the locker room. The passion on the defensive side of the ball didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fade remotely for a motivated Red and Blue squad, and the Quakers went on an 11-2 run after their lead was briefly cut to one, going up 44-34 with just over 15 minutes remaining, forcing a Princeton timeout as the Tigers knew they were on the brink of being on the wrong side of the upset of the century. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know them better, I wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve questioned [my playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; toughness] myself,â&#x20AC;?

Penn made it to the Big Dance, but questions remain JONATHAN POLLACK

The journey to the NCAA Tournament is finally complete. Now, it’s time to Dance. Penn’s victories this weekend showcased some of the best this team has to offer: great ball movement on offense and stingy defense that forces teams to make tough shots and Michelle Nwokedi dominating on both sides of the ball. But even still, there are plenty of questions left for this team as they approach the NCAA Tournament. Can they keep opponents off the offensive glass? For starters, in both games, the Quakers let up far too many offensive boards. Penn gave up 14 against Brown in the semifinal and 18 against Princeton in the final, leading to a total of 37 combined second-chance points. On Sunday, those second-chance buckets helped keep Princeton in the game with both extra points and boosts in morale. Penn might be able to get away with that when teams have shooting percentages in the low 30s or high 20s, but against some of the top teams in the nation, the Quakers cannot afford to give up more scoring chances. If the Red and Blue are to have any shot at an upset next weekend, they need to box out and limit offensive rebounds. Can they speed up their pace of play? On the other side of the ball, one of Penn’s biggest struggles was length of possessions. The team’s average time of possession for the Princeton game was 20 seconds, and they committed several turnovers on shot clock violations. Moreover, Penn was often forced into

taking low quality shots as the shot clock expired. The Quakers had too many possessions that they wasted by taking too long. Some of it was due to good defense, some of it was due to not finding open looks, but a lot of it was due to Penn not doing enough to create opportunities for shots. Against superior teams, Penn must make each possession count if they want to pull off an upset. They’re going to need to find ways to create more movement and shots earlier on in their possessions to avoid those tough shots at the buzzer. Can they get hot and stay hot from beyond the arc? Which Penn will we see from three-point range next weekend? The one that shot a lowly 18% in the first half against Princeton, or the one that shot a much more respectable 43% in the second half? The answer might just decide the Quakers’ fate in the tournament. For an offense that has been so reliant as of late on Ivy Player of the Year Michelle Nwokedi, any help from the outside really opens up space on the floor. We saw that this weekend with the big run in the third quarter against Brown, where threes from Nwokedi, Anna Ross and Beth Brzozowski led to more production from Nwokedi and Sydney Stipanovich. When the Red and Blue are making shots from downtown, their offense can be lethal. A few makes from the players on the wing can make opposing defenses’ respect the shooters and open up driving lanes down low for Penn’s bigs. But if the Quakers go cold, defenses can converge into the middle without the fear of a trey, and their upset chances might disappear. How much w ill coach Mike McLaughlin utilize his bench? Penn had a fairly big rotation through most of the season, with eight or nine players

consistently getting minutes. But in both Ivy Tournament games, only sophomores Princess Aghayere and Ashley Russell got the calls from the bench. Lack of depth has played a role in previous tournament appearances for the Quakers, as they started strong and faded towards the end. Penn certainly has quality options from the bench, so if the team starts to tire, he can feel comfortable going to some of them. The question will be how much he chooses to rely on them.
