The Penn Quakers play at The Palestra, widely regarded as the most storied venue in college basketball history and host to more NCAA Tournament games than any other arena. Penn is one of the most decorated programs in Ivy League history, with a championship pedigree that dwarfs nearly every other team in the conference. The Quakers' Philadelphia home puts them at the center of one of the sport's great basketball cities. Few programs anywhere combine Penn's sheer volume of conference titles with a home court this historically significant.
Penn's program dates to 1896-97, making it one of the oldest in the country. The Quakers have won 38 Ivy League regular-season championships and one Ivy League Tournament title, both easily the most in conference history, and have reached the NCAA Tournament 24 times. The program's dominant stretch came under coach Chuck Daly in the 1970s, who won four consecutive Ivy titles from 1973 to 1976 and posted a 125-38 overall record with four NCAA appearances. Penn's decades of sustained success have made The Palestra, opened in 1927, synonymous with the sport itself.
