The 2007-08 Princeton basketball season came to an end on Tuesday night with a sloppy, listless 60-47 loss to Penn at Jadwin Gym. Princeton finished the season with a program-worst 6-23 record, 3-11 in Ivy League play.
Freshman Jack Eggleston recorded a game-high 15 points for the Quakers, who had three players in double figures.
Center Zach Finley, who missed Princeton's previous two games with an ankle injury, returned to the floor versus Penn, scoring 13 points off the bench. Jason Briggs added 10 along with a career-best eight rebounds and Noah Savage tallied 10 in his final collegiate contest.

Cornell had just completed a perfect 14-0 run through the Ivy League, so what were Princeton co-captains Kyle Koncz and Noah Savage doing in the Big Red locker room?
"We just congratulated them," Koncz explained. "They're a great team and they had a great season, so you have to pay your respects to their team and wish them luck in the tournament."
"As a player, you're frustrated, because a 14-0 season is what you dream of here," Koncz added. "That's what you want to do. You have to be a man and step up and congratulate someone who did it and competed hard every night and did something that's very hard to do. If you don't pay your respect to them and tell them good luck, then I think that's saying something about you."
Princeton played Cornell even for the first 32 minutes of Saturday night's meeting at Jadwin Gym.
Consecutive three point shots by Louis Dale turned a one possession game into a 57-48 Cornell lead as the Big Red pulled away for a 71-64 victory in their final regular season contest before the NCAA tournament.
Louis Dale scored a game-high 21 points in the victory, 17 in the final 20 minutes. Ryan Wittman had 16 points and Jason Hartford added 15 for the Big Red.
