Hicks suspended, Penn falls

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Penn pulled within six points of Harvard early in the second half before the Crimson took control with a 12-0 run in a 69-46 Ivy League victory Friday night at Lavietes Pavilion.

The Quakers played without scoring leader Tony Hicks, who was suspended for two games.

Wesley Saunders scored 15 points, and Steve Moundou-Missi added 14 for Harvard (18-5, 8-1 Ivy), which kept pace with Yale atop the league standings.

Antonio Woods had 12 points for Penn (7-15, 2-6).

Hicks, a junior guard averaging 13.0 points per game, also will miss Saturday's game at Dartmouth.

"Tony did some things during and immediately following last Saturday's game against Brown that did not meet the standards of the Penn basketball program," coach Jerome Allen said on the university's website. "After reviewing the incidents earlier this week, I have decided to sit him for this weekend's games."
