Penn defeated Saint Joseph's tonight to complete a sweep of the city series breaking a 5 year run by Villanova (5 yearly sweeps). The win also kept Villanova from tying Temple, who has won the city series 27 times to 26 for Villanova.

Nobody outside Philly cares. Temple lost to Penn on its home court. Had you won, you'd still be in contention for a NCAA tournament. No one but yourselves to blame.

Congrats to Penn! It's pretty cool that the teams are still willing to play each other every year.

Lighten up dude. Nobody gives you crap when you tell us about Xavier.

If not Temple, I'm glad it was Penn.

When was the last time Penn won the Big 5? Guessing it's been quite a while.

By the way, I've always been a fan of the Big 5 and its tradition. I look at the Big 5 as well as the Crossroads Classic in Indiana and wonder why we can't have something similar in the Cincinnati area with all of our Division I programs.

2001-2002

Really impressive Big 5 season from Steve Donahue. Coached everyone else into the ground.

Go fighting Quakers! I also love the Big 5 and what it represents.

Agree. Definitely unique in NCAA basketball.

A win is a win, congrats!!!

Congratulating Penn on their big 5 victory... when YOU'RE one of the big 5? You're a better man than me.

If UC isn't the champion of Cincinnati's big 2, then as far as I'm concerned it never happened.
