The Quakers were 28-0 entering the NCAA East Regional Final before losing to Villanova (a team they had beaten by eight in the regular season). Later, Villanova had to forfeit the game because of an ineligible player. Since then, only nine teams have managed to go through the regular season unbeaten. Penn became the third-winningest team of the 1970s (behind Marquette and UCLA), winning 79.9 percent of its games, eight Ivy titles and seven Big Five championships.
