Davis got to the free throw line, but he misses his attempt on the one and one. Saunders knocks the ball off of a Penn palyer to keep possession, but then Davis turns it over.

Rosen just hits a huge 3.
Tigers get out of position on D, and Rosen makes them pay from the 3 point line. The worst part is that it came after the Princeton D held, but the Quakers got the offensive rebound. Just moments before, Mavraides had gotten to the basket and converted on his layup, but now the deficit is 4. 57-53 Penn, Princeton calls TO. 1:47 to go. Tigers keep hanging on, but they are running out of time again.
Bad foul committed by Davis, 2 FT for Penn, 2:40 to go
Quakers lead now 54-51--all points scored in the OT have been off of FT for Penn.
WE ARE GOING TO OT
Bernadini gets the ball, stumbles a bit, and misses badly on his attempt from the top of the key. Finely grabs the rebound. We're going to OT. 5 minutes, 1 TO for each team.
Finley knocks down the first, Penn calls TO.
Finley hits the first, and surely the Quakers are trying to rattle Finley's nerves a bit here. 51-50 Penn with one more to come.
Pick and roll gets Finley to the charity stripe.
Davis found Finley, he gets fouled. A lot of pressure--a chance to tie the game. 23.8 left.
Rosen knocks down a pullup jumper, but Davis hits a three.
Rosen got to the paint and nailed a pullup jumper, but Davis hits a 3. 51-49. Then he intercepts a pass, gets penetration and kicks, but Mavraides can't hit. Finley rebounds though, and with 36 seconds remaining, down 2, the Tigers have a chance to tie it.
Bernadini gets stuffed.
Saunders blocked his shot, and then Schroeder got fouled. Penn's over the limit, so it's a one and one opportunity, but Schroeder can only knock down 1 of 2. 49-46 with a little under 2 to go.
49-45, Princeton just turned the ball over.
Bernadini got to the charity stripe and knocked down two, and the Tigers just turned over the ball with 2:39 remaining. The Quakers could make it really tough if they convert here.
Crazy exchange, Penn leads 47-45.
Mavraides lost the ball going up for a shot after driving left, but somehow Davis came up with it. He tried to lay it in but it missed. As Penn raced down the court for a sure layup and a 4 point lead, Schroeder got position underneath the basket and drew the charge to keep the game a 1 possession game. 3:29 remaining.
AND ONE FOR FINLEY.
Tigers are GETTING AFTER IT on the defensive end. They forced consecutive turnovers and converted on both, with Finley getting a layup in transition and then backing down his defender for another. He got fouled on the play too, so it's all tied up, 45-45, with a free throw coming. Somehow, Princeton has clawed back. Saunders really got these guys going with the three and his free throw makes. 5:49 to go, a lot of basketball left.
Saunders hits a 3, then gets fouled by Penn. Flagrant foul, huge momentum shift
Saunders hit a 3, then was fouled really hard by Penn's Connor Turley. 45-41 after Saunders hits the free throws. 7:10 to go, 45-41 Penn.
Deficit grows to 9. 45-36 Penn with 9 remaining.
Schroeder and Mavraides have gotten good looks from the corner but neither could knock it down. Schroeder's shot was halfway down, but popped back out. Penn's Cameron Lewis got a dunk on the other end, and Buczak fouled out just a short while ago. Things are coming apart at the seams for the Tigers right now. 45-36 with 9 minutes remaining.
Really bad non-call.
Mavraides is trying to get some offense going. He got an offensive rebound and a putback, and on the next trip down the court he tried posting up. There was an egregious non-call by the refs after his hand got smacked and half the gym could hear it. On the other end, the Quakers are going inside and getting position deep in the paint. The points are coming too easily for them. It's a 43-35 Quaker lead, the largest deficit Princeton has faced this half. 11 minutes remaining and the Tigers have got to get back into their rhythm.
Tigers really struggling on offense.
Princeton looks totally out of sorts. The Tigers have scored all of 2 points this half, and they keep on picking up fouls. The score is 39-33, and Johnson just took a timeout.
Back to back turnovers gives Penn lead.
Princeton turned over the ball on back-to-back trips down the court, leading to a pair of easy layups for Penn's Rosen. Quakers lead now, 36-33.
Tigers have four fouls already, less than 3 minutes in
Bernadini goes to the line for 2 in an attempt to tie up the game. Princeton already has had 4 fouls called on it though, really early in the second half.
Penn gets 2 in transition, Davis retaliates with his own layup
Penn climbed out of the hole on Bernadini's layup in transition, but Davis got a quick layup in response to put the Tigers back up. 33-31.
