THE BOTTOM LINE: QUAKERS VS Clearly in need of a win, the Quakers host a hot-shooting Navy team that is 6-1 1-5 off to its best start since 1998 GAMEDAY Tonight: 7 p.m. | The Palestra | TV: None | Radio: ESPN 950 AM Desperate for a second win Quakers look for momentum heading into long layoff

By ANDREW TODRES Senior Staff Writer [email protected] It’s been a tough grind to start the season for the Penn men’s basketball team. First, there was the trip down to the Dean Smith Cen- ter to open up against the No.1 North Carolina Tar Heels. Then, the Quakers got taken down a few blocks away from the Palestra at Drexel in a game that finished right as many Penn students were just waking up. Despite notching a win against Monmouth, a loss at home to Penn State sent Penn into Thanksgiving with a bitter taste in its mouth. And after being outplayed by Albany and overmatched by No. 17 Villanova in the two games after the holiday, the Quakers (1-5) could really use a break. That’s exactly what they’ll get after they host Navy (6-1) tonight — Penn’s next game won’t be until Dec. 29.

We need it because we need it, but it means a lot more because of the layoff.” Unfortunately for Penn, wins have been hard to come by against the Midshipmen this season. Although the Quakers hold a 57-22 advantage in the series —­ including wins in the last seven contests — Navy’s fans will likely be out in full force at the Palestra on the eve of the annual Army-Navy foot- ball game at Lincoln Financial Alvin Loke/DP Senior Photographer Freshman point guard Zack Rosen (right) will need to bounce back from a tough game against Villanova, in which he tallied only two assists to three turnovers.
