Instant classic last night from the Palestra in Philadelphia, with the Quakers of Penn defeating the Wildcats of Villanova, 78-75.

Notable? Yeah, the Wildcats hadn’t lost a Big 5 game in more than six years. Two national championships in that span.

College basketball gets no better than this:playing for city pride. Basketball’s a city game, no? Played in the Cathedral of College Basketball.

Just another Tuesday night in December.

This is why I love Christmastime.
