18:58 Game No. 7-046: Dartmouth at Penn. (Corrected.) Helloooo! http://img.ly/2VEk
19:03 Penn huddlz. http://img.ly/2VEr
19:03 Dartmouth tuffz. http://img.ly/2VEu
19:06 We will be on the Internet soon.
19:07 Meanwhile, Penn leads 5-2 after three minutes. Up the road, they're playing for first place.
19:12 There we are. It's 8-4 Penn over Dartmouth after the first MTO. "Eye of the Tiger!" Didn't think the Penn band would play that.
19:13 So here's the story. Our flight into PHL got bumped, so there was no time to get up to Princeton. But! Not complaining. It's the Palestra!
19:15 Penn 15-6 at 13:22 1H. Looks like we have some celebrities in the house! At least one. Ed Rendell enjoying the game in the fourth row.
19:16 A little late, but Penn is 8-8, 2-0 in the Ivy League. Dartmouth is 5-13, and have won an Ivy game! And lost three. #youareinformed
19:17 Unlike last year, Penn actually has a student section again. The Red & Blue Crew owns sections 119 and 120. 2010: a row or two.
19:25 Penn almost a dubl-up on Dartmouth, 20-11, end 1Q. Things we've learned: Philly has Jimmy John's & west side traffic is weirder than ever.
19:28 Miles Cartwright, Penn froshhhh PG in No. 0, is fast, attentive & confident. Averaging 11 ppg too. Still gets his plays from the bench tho.
19:30 Penn leads 24-13, 7:54 1H. MTO #3. R&BC member with a good wrist-flick half court shot tries to win free Jimmy John's. 2 half court misses.
19:31 Perhaps a regular can #youareinformed us on how Jimmy John's edged in on Abner's Cheeseteaks in re: the Palestra sandwich racket.
19:32 Insert an "s" up there in "cheesesteaks." You can't delete tweets on the FutureBot 4000.
19:34 Jr. Rob Belcore nails a transition #superhoop for Penn, and it's 30-15. Dubl up, UNH! Speaking of which, DART HC Paul Cormier is a UNH grad.
19:37 David Rufful, pride of Warwick R.I., with a Dartmouth #superhoop back-atcha! Warwick is where the Prov. airport is. He skyed it! 32-18 Penn.
19:38 Truth be told and actually-actually, the pride of Warwick R.I. is the Ann & Hope outlet center. MTO4, Penn still leads by 14.
19:39 Penn appears to have some sort of t-shirt pop gun. But after seeing the t-shirt gatling at Bradley, I'm not impressed by anything anymore.
19:40 Abner's must be respected RT @jtannenwald: @midmajority the 100-point deal still stands as far as I know.
19:41 The Phanatic has one of those! RT @The_Bracket_Man: @midmajority Penn State has some sort of Hot Dog gun that shot free dogs into the crowd
19:42 Dartmouth's offense tippy-toes around the arc until a seam opens. Sometimes it doesn't! 35 second violation. Two to go in 1H, 37-18 Penn.
19:48 The R&BC is not like the old days, but the pride is back. 2 sections full, loud and into it. Rollout prowess unknown. http://img.ly/2VF2
19:48 Ghost Hunter Zack Rosen holds for the last shot, and Penn can't convert. 38-24 at halftime, Quakers and Big Green.
19:52 Halftime entertainment: the Quaker Girls! This ain't no Society women's meeting! http://img.ly/2VFd
20:00 More celebrities. Just ran into Andres Iniesta! He was wearing glasses, that was kinda weird. Wait, it was just @jtannenwald.
20:02 Dartmouth shot 8-for-27 (29.6%) in the first half. Penn shot a little better: 68.4%. Tyler "The Mask" Bernardini 16 pts, 6-for-7.
20:03 Palestra press row smells like a cigar and peppermint gum tonight. AS IT SHOULD.
20:05 Intreeeeeging. RT @jtannenwald: @midmajority I have been told by a source that there will be rollouts tomorrow.
20:06 Back for a 2nd half of hot Ivy League ball. Quite warm here in the Cathedral tonight, those radiators are pumping their little hearts out.
20:08 Dartmouth also playing their little hearts out. They really get up the floor well. But things get complicated when the offense sets.
20:10 After 3 minutes of 2H play, Penn's extended the lead to 45-27. Ed Rendell is fielding calls. Need to grab a soft pretzel at the next MTO.
20:11 Dartmouth's Clive Weeden passes to a referee. It happens sometimes. 47-30 Penn. MTO.
20:18 Just another Friday night at the Palestra. http://img.ly/2VFF
20:19 I may be late on thus, but I have a horrible injustice to report. "Soft pretzels" at the Palestra are now SuperPretzels.
20:20 Leather outside, sandpaper inside. What happened to the ones that came off a big brick and were cold? http://img.ly/2VFL
20:22 Is something wrong with this picture? Yes. The SuperPretzels. http://img.ly/2VFO
20:23 While I was walking back, I saw somebody with a normal soft pretzel. Is there a secret stand? Or does that guy still sell them outside?
20:24 Meanwhile, on the court, Penn leads Dartmouth 51-35. I just did the Limbo Rock!
20:26 Up the road, Princeton leads Harvard 45-38 late in the 3rd quarter.
20:26 RT @jenahearn: Just watched @midmajority perform an impressive press row contortion. Dedication.
20:27 RT @jtannenwald: @midmajority It has been that way for a while now. The pretzel distributor doesn't sell on weekends anymore. It's terrible karma for Penn.
20:28 Now, if Wawa were to suddenly stop selling those brick soft pretzels, I predict a riot.
20:31 Random Palestra fact: when they slowly spell out "Qdoba" on the ancient ad board, it kinda looks like "Booba."
20:32 Summon the Power of Booba! Penn leads 57-38. After being down one at halftime, PRIN's outscored HARV 20-8 in the second. Eight to go there.
20:34 An Ivy #omgdunx? Yes! Chromedomical Conor Turley with a slam-bam-wham-(midterms) CRAM! 61-35 Penn at 8:21 2H.
20:35 Dartmouth did not lose 3 points, my keyboard batteries are dying. Jack Eggleston with a follow for Penn, Quakers up 66-35 now. 7:17 2H.
20:38 You have to go back a lonnnng way to find the last time Penn blew a team out like this at home. My best guess is March 2007 vs. Yale.
20:40 Dartmouth came in here and won by 10 two seasons ago, and that was a low point for the program. Then there were deeper low points.
20:42 71-37 Penn at 5:08 2H. If I converse with you later this evening, yes I know I have a mustard stain on my shirt.
20:44 Unless I'm missing an intrasquad scrimmage or something, Penn's last win of this whompitude at the Palestra was 3/2/07 vs. Yale: 86-58.
20:45 Up I-95, Princeton seems to have repelled a Harvard run. Crimson had the lead cut to 5, back up by 8. Less than four to go.
20:48 Beat CORN & COLU by a combined 72 points that weekend! RT @pennathletics: @midmajority 84-44 win over Cornell 1/13/06 also had whompitude
20:50 Two to go, Penn up 76-43. I believe I just heard a "We want Harvard" chant from the R&BC.
20:51 Speaking of the Lions: RT @midmajority360: Columbia 79 Brown 87 | COLU 12-7 (3-2) BRWN 8-11 (1-4) | http://tmm7.me/a5v #Ivy
20:53 One minute left in New Jersey: Princeton up 60-52. Looks like the first round goes to the Tiger-Men.
20:53 And we're getting some serious clock dribblage here. We have a final here at the Palestra: 78-47 Penn over Dartmouth. An asswhompathon.
20:54 RT @dhm: @midmajority My favorite was 2002. A 78-51 win over Harvard Friday, a 100-62 win over Dartmouth Saturday.
20:56 They'll be doing this 100 years from now too. http://img.ly/2VGp
20:56 Streamers! At the Palestra! It's an end-of-game thing now though. http://img.ly/2VGs
20:59 RT @midmajority360: Dartmouth 47 Pennsylvania 78 | DART 5-14 (1-4) PENN 9-8 (3-0) | http://tmm7.me/a5x #Ivy
21:00 RT @bubbaprog: OH MY! Another Harvard three cuts it to 61-59 Princeton with 18 seconds left @midmajority
21:01 Were watching the end of HARV-PRIN on a 3 inch Robot screen. Exciting!
21:01 Princeton escapes, 65-61. Wow!
21:02 RT @midmajority360: Cornell 70 Yale 71 | CORN 4-15 (0-5) YALE 10-9 (3-2) | http://tmm7.me/a62 #Ivy
21:04 RT @jtannenwald: Princeton cans 4 very big FTs in the last 15 seconds to beat Harvard. Witnessed on my iPod with @midmajority, @jenahearn & @jmshafer.
21:07 RT @midmajority360: Harvard 61 Princeton 65 | HARV 15-4 (4-1) PRIN 15-4 (3-0) | http://tmm7.me/a63 #Ivy
