Junior forward TJ Power powered the Penn Quakers in the Ivy League Tournament Final on Sunday.
Penn senior star forward Ethan Roberts — who led the team in scoring (16.9 points per game) entering Sunday — sat out because of a concussion. Despite that, the Quakers punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2018 thanks to a stellar performance from Power.
TJ Power delivered memorable March Madness performance in the Ivy League Tournament final
Power scored a season-high 44 points on 14-of-26 shooting from the field in an 88-84 win over the Yale Bulldogs at Newman Arena in Ithaca, New York, on Sunday. According to ESPN Insights, his scoring total is the second most in any men’s conference tournament final over the last 30 seasons.
The stats are impressive, but what would an epic March Madness performance be without a clutch shot? With the Quakers trailing the Bulldogs 75-72, they inbounded the ball to Power, who raced to the right wing and swished a 25-foot three-pointer with one second left in regulation. Yale junior guard Trevor Mullin just missed a last-second, three-quarter-court heave after that play.
