Bromwell Returns

Each one different, each so seemingly effortless.

Afterwards, Bromwell didn't think much of his 14-for-19 shooting night--said something about getting good are on his jumper, that it was just falling.

Bromwell's picturesque jumper, combined with his speed and superb leaping ability, all led Harvard Coach Peter Roby to call him the best individual talent in the Ivy League this year.

The senior guard spearheaded a 75 percent second-half field goal spree by the Quakers that turned a two-point Harvard halftime advantage into a 20 point Penn rout midway through the second frame.

Scoring 20 of his 32 points in that second half, Bromwell--who appropriately registered his 1000th collegiate point against the Crimson last season--repeatedly could be found right in the middle of every Quaker rally, every Quaker surge Saturday night.

Don't be surprised if you see his name surface in the mid-to-later rounds of this summer's professional draft. Playing in the Big Five Conference (which features Villanova and Temple among others) as well as in the Ivies, Bromwell has received a good deal of exposure over the past three years.

But realistically, Bromwell's enduring legacy likely will not be on the courts of the NBA but in the history books of the Ivy League.

As one of the best of an era.
