    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) -- Eric Osmundson scored 15 points and Mark Zoller added 14 as the University of Pennsylvania held off a late rally and beat Yale 57-55 Friday night to clinch its second straight Ivy League title and become the first team to secure a spot in the NCAA tournament.

    Yale (15-13, 7-6 Ivy) had a chance to tie the game at the buzzer, but Eric Flato's desperation 18-footer fell short.

    Penn (19-7, 11-1) built what seemed like a commanding 41-25 lead with 15:55 to play, but Yale's Dominick Martin (18 points) led a rally that cut the margin to four with 3:10 remaining.

    Nick Holmes hit two free throws to pull the Bulldogs to within 55-53 with 1:16 to go.

    The Quakers clinched the league title with the victory and Princeton's loss to Brown.</div>

    The Quakers always seem to get in there early and all they're really doing on selection Sunday is kick back and wait to see who they're playing. Not bad...
