Pennsylvania just snatched a big 78-65 win over Howard on Monday, and T.J. Power was absolutely on fire, dropping a huge 23 points to lead the Quakers to victory. This is how you start to set the tone for your season, isn’t it?
Power Ignites the Quakers
Power didn’t just score, he put on a clinic from long range. He went 8 of 19 from the field overall, but the real story was his incredible 6 for 12 from beyond the arc. That’s hitting half your deep shots, which is lights-out shooting. For a team now sitting at 1-1, that kind of offensive explosion from one guy can be a serious confidence booster. This early in the season, you’re looking for players to step up, and Power certainly did.
Quakers Get Help, Bison Fight Back
Power wasn’t the only Quaker making plays, though. Sir Mohammed chipped in with a solid 17 points, five rebounds, and three steals, showing he’s a real two-way player. Michael Zanoni added 12 points himself, going 5 for 15 from the field, including 2 for 7 from three-point land. They definitely spread the ball around to get this win. Howard didn’t roll over either. Cam Gillus led the Bison, who now fall to 1-2, with 17 points, six rebounds, six assists, and two steals. Drew Harris had 15 points and five steals, while Cedric Taylor III put up 12 points, six rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two blocks. They had some serious talent on the floor, but Penn just had too much on this night.
Up next, Pennsylvania has to hit the road to play Navy on Wednesday, which will be another tough test. Howard gets to host Stetson on Thursday, looking to bounce back at home. These early games are all about finding your rhythm and what works, and Penn’s definitely got something cooking after Power’s big night.
