The Under the Radar Game of the Day began this season way back on November 13 when the first regular season game of the year tipped off between Vermont and Eastern Michigan. Tonight, it comes to a close with the final regular season game of the year as Penn and Princeton meet for the 234th time in one of the top Under the Radar rivalries in the entire country. For the Princeton Tigers, the dream of an Ivy League title and an NCAA Tournament bid was lost this past weekend when they suffered a heart-breaking loss at Harvard and watched Yale win at Columbia to clinch the crown. At 21-6 overall entering this game, tonight should not be the end of the season for the Tigers, as a postseason invite, potentially to the NIT, should still be coming. For the Penn Quakers, tonight is the last game of the season as they sit at 11-16 overall. However, they do lead the all-time series between the two teams by a 124-109 margin and will be looking to extend that lead tonight. The two teams met back on January 9 and it was Princeton that made a huge late rally to force overtime and eventually pick up the 73-71 victory. The Quakers will look to return the favor and win on their rival’s home court tonight.
Although tonight’s game is the finale for the Under the Radar Game of the Day,, it is not the end of our daily features on the small and mid-major conference teams. Be sure to check back next week as our favorite postseason tournament, the CIT, kicks off. We will be featuring a CIT Game of the Day each day that event runs. But until then, enjoy the rest of Championship Week!
