With only five games left on the season, the Quakers (15-11, 7-2 Ivy) still control their own destiny. If the Red and Blue hope to capture their first Ivy League title since 2006-07, they'll need to take care of Dartmouth (5-21, 1-9). The Big Green nearly upset Penn at the Palestra two weeks ago — it took a last-minute three by Zack Rosen for Penn to get the win.
Following a disappointing 56-50 loss to No. 25 Harvard, the Quakers (12-11, 4-2 Ivy) look to bounce back against last-place Dartmouth (4-19, 0-7). The Big Green have not won a game since Jan. 14 and are losers of 12 of their last 13. Last season, Penn swept Dartmouth, a feat the Red and Blue have accomplished in 14 of the last 15 seasons.

Another Tuesday, another rainy night for Penn hoops at the Palestra. Tonight the Quakers host Manhattan, a team which is 1-1 against Ivy League opponents this year (Win over Brown, loss to Columbia). Penn is trying to hop off a three-game skid after losing to No. 17 Pittsburgh and James Madison this weekend.
Regardless of records, the Quakers want this one bad after they gave up a 12-point second-half lead last year, as the Jaspers closed the game on a 17-0 run to take the win. Follow the action below:
