What: Niagara (1-4) vs Penn (1-3) When: 7p.m., Tuesday Where: The Palestra TV/Radio: None/88.5 WXPN – By ADAM BOOTH Philahoops Staff @ThatsAdamBooth Penn’s record through four games is deceiving.

St. Joe’s clamped down on the Creighton star, who Hawks coach Phil Martelli called “the best player in college basketball,” for most of the night on Saturday.
