AJ Brodeur scored 16 points as the Quakers earned their first win over the Wildcats since 2002.

Penn fans stormed the court after Villanova’s Phil Booth missed the tying 3-point attempt and set off a regular-season celebratio­n not seen in Philly in years. And with good reason — the national champion Wildcats had won a city-record 25 straight games against Big 5 rivals Temple, Saint Joseph’s, La Salle and the Quakers.

Penn coach Steve Donahue, who led Cornell to the Sweet 16 in 2010, may have another blooming Ivy League power. Penn last beat Villanova at the Palestra on Dec. 5, 2001.

The Wildcats hadn’t lost a city series game since Temple beat Nova 76-61 on Dec. 5, 2012.

Donahue slapped hands with fans that lingered on the court and fans tossed streamers and went wild as they topped champs.
