A stunning blunder by the Yale Bulldogs in the Ivy League Tournament final handed Penn a ticket to March Madness. With a five-point lead late in overtime, Yale failed to foul intentionally, allowing T.J. Power to drain a game-tying three-pointer with one second left in regulation.
Power finished with 44 points on 14-of-26 shooting, including seven triples, and added 14 rebounds for a double-double. His two free throws with 17 seconds left in overtime sealed the 88-84 upset.
Cam Thrower contributed 19 points, hitting a key three to give Penn a lead it never lost in OT. The Quakers advance as a No. 14 seed to face Illinois in the NCAA Tournament.
Yale’s season ends in heartbreak after Trevor Mullin’s last-second heave rimmed out, forcing overtime. The loss marks a painful end to a championship opportunity.
