Five times in the second half of the 217th meeting between Princeton and Penn the Tigers had possession with a shot to take the lead.
Five times the Quakers held on.
The last of these chances came with just nine seconds on the clock and Princeton down 64-63, as an open three point shot by senior co-captain Noah Savage on the left wing was long off the mark.
Following offsetting technical fouls assessed to Zach Finley and Brian Grandieri after the rebound, Remy Cofield made two free throws to boost the Penn advantage to three. As Princeton looked to inbound and pull even for the first time since midway through the first half, Savage was whistled for an intentional technical foul as he elbowed Jack Eggleston beyond midcourt before the ball ever came into play. Savage, now disqualified, headed to the bench with his head down, aware he had cost his team a chance at overtime.
It was one of 52 whistles in a foul-plagued 70-65 struggle between two teams that haven't had much fortune this season.
Kevin Egee's 15 points led four Quakers in double figures. Also breaking out of single digits were Aron Cohen with 14 and the freshman duo of Eggleston and Remy Cofield who both tallied 11.
Zach Finley was one of four Tigers in double figures, scoring 15 points. Kevin Steuerer added 13 while Savage and Lincoln Gunn each contributed 12.
