January 09, 2018 | Men's Basketball

The 91-year-old Palestra in Philadelphia has seen plenty of basketball in its history, including many, many games between the Princeton Tigers and the home Penn Quakers. It was also the site of last year's inaugural Ivy League Tournament, which Princeton won by beating Penn and then Yale in the final.

Last Saturday, the Tigers made their return to 33rd Street in Philadelphia for the first time since the Selection Sunday win over the Bulldogs, this time facing Penn in the 2018 Ivy League opener. This week's episode of Hard Cuts: A Season Inside Princeton Basketball visits with head coach Mitch Henderson for his thoughts on the rivalry as well as a look back at the game.
