While Penn basketball’s season came to a close two weeks ago, there is one Big 5 team keeps on going.
La Salle, which won a share of the Big 5 Title this season, is still dancing, having won three games to make the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
The Explorers' run began in Dayton as one of the final four teams into the tournament, where they defeated Boise State to get into the main field of 64.
Next up was a trip to Kansas City, where the 13th-seeded Explorers pulled out two close victories over fourth-seeded Kansas State and 12th-seeded Ole Miss.
But this La Salle team has some firm connections with the Red and Blue other than simply playing in the Big 5.
