This Day in Philly Sports History - February 5, 2025

It's Hump Day, that means it's all downhill as we head to the Super Bowl on Sunday. We had a Joel Embiid sighting last night. Jo played for the first time in a month, messed around and got a triple-double as the Sixers beat the Mavs 118-116. The Flyers scored and got a point but lost to Utah 3-2 in OT. Today's Question of the Day is "4 point game, 2 minutes left; do you want the Eagles offense or defense on the field with the game on the line?" Today's Black History Legacy Maker with Philly Ties is Sonny Hill. February 5, 2000 was a good day for the Big 5. Villanova, Temple, LaSalle, and Penn all played and won. Temple and Penn would go on to make the tournament in 2000.
