Harvard moves on to Penn tomorrow night where they are hoping to sweep the season series with the Quakers for the first time in 59 years. Penn is also coming off a surprising loss, as it fell to Columbia for the first time since 1992.

The Quakers got off to a sluggish start and trailed 36-23 at the half. Although Penn outscored Columbia 34-33 in the second half, they were not able to generate enough offense to recover from the slow start. Penn forward Ugonna Onyekwe led the Quakers with 15 points, but Penn shot a dismal 31 percent overall from the field.

Harvard will be hoping for a repeat performance of their last matchup with Penn. When the two teams met two weeks ago, the Crimson pulled off a stunning upset which ended the Quakers' streak of 25 consecutive conference wins.

In that game, the Crimson jumped out to an early lead which it never relinquished as it cruised to a 77-62 victory over the top-rated Quakers. Clemente led the way with 29 points and the Crimson were aided by Penn's uncharacteristically sloppy play that included 23 turnovers.

For Harvard to prevail this weekend, they will need more big numbers from Clemente, who is currently seventh on Harvard's all-time scoring list. With 1,399 points, Clemente is rapidly closing in on sixth place, which is held by Kyle Snowden '97 at 1,429 points

The Crimson are in desperate need of offensive production right now. Although Harvard remains the league leader in scoring with a 73.2 point-per-game average, it shot a combined 37.9 percent from the field in last weekend's losses to Brown and Yale.

The weekend series will be critical for Harvard's paper-thin hopes of an Ivy League championship. Following the Brown loss, Head Coach Frank Sullivan was less than optimistic regarding Harvard's chances.
