Lafayette (1-1) at Penn (2-0) – 7:00 PM EST (ESPN+)
Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day takes us to the historic Palestra and Dollar Dog Night where the Penn Quakers will play host to the Lafayette Leopards. There have actually been 51 games played all time between both teams, but it is a rather one-sided rivalry with Penn leading the series 42-9. The Leopards do come into this game with some momentum; they made their first trip to Philadelphia over the weekend with a come-from-behind 77-76 win at La Salle. Myles Cherry led Lafayette with 18 points and 12 rebounds; it was also the first time Lafayette beat an A-10 team since Duquesne in 2004.
The Quakers are riding a modest 2-game winning streak with wins at George Mason and at home against Rice. A.J. Brodeur averaged 21 points per game in Penn’s wins – he was named Player of the Week by the Ivy League, Big 5 and CollegeInsider.com’s Lou Henson Player of the Week! Penn also honored their Ivy League championship team last Friday with another banner hung in the Palestra rafters.
