The Series with Stockton
• This is the first meeting between the Quakers and the Ospreys in men's basketball.
 
• This is also Penn's third game against a non-Division 1 opponent since Steve Donahue took over as head coach in 2015-16. The Quakers faced Ursinus that season and defeated the Bears 73-66. Last year, Penn easily dispatched Penn State-Brandywine here at The Palestra, 99-40.
 
Fast Out of the Gate
Penn started 4-0 for the first time since the 1978-79 season, which coincidentally was the year that the Quakers made it to arguably the most famous Final Four of all time with Magic Johnson's Michigan State, Larry Bird's Indiana State, and Mark Aguirre's DePaul teams. The Quakers enter the Stockton game 4-2 after losses to No. 12 Kansas State and Oregon State.
 
Honors for Goodman, Wang
Junior Devon Goodman was named Ivy League and Philadelphia Big 5 Player of the Week on Monday, while freshman Michael Wang was named Ivy League Rookie of the Week. Penn has swept the Ivy and Big 5 Player awards through two weeks this season, as junior AJ Brodeur was Player of the Week by both conferences for the week of November 12.
 
Goodman also was named to the Paradise Jam All-Tournament Team following play on Monday. Goodman led the Quakers in scoring in all three games on the Virgin Islands, and against Northern Iowa he reached career highs in points (27) and steals (5) and matched a career best in three-point baskets (5).
 
Penn by the Numbers
2 • Philadelphia Big 5 Player of the Week awards won by Penn players through the first two weeks of the season. Junior AJ Brodeur was Player of the Week for November 12, and junior Devon Goodman won it on Monday.
 
3 • Ivy League weekly awards won through the first two weeks this season by Penn. Junior AJ Brodeur was Ivy Player of the Week for November 12, and Goodman (Player) and Wang (Rookie) swept this week's awards.
 
3 • Points scored by junior Ryan Betley in Penn's season opener, when he drained a three-pointer on Penn's first possession of 2018-19; less than five minutes later he ruptured his patellar tendon, and so last year's leading scorer will miss the remainder of the season.
 
3 • NCAA Division 1 players this year from China, including freshman Michael Wang. He shares the distinction with James Zhao (California) and Kevin Zhang (Tulane). Wang played his high school ball at Mater Dei (Calif.).
 
4 • Three-point baskets made by freshman Bryce Washington in the second half of last Friday's UNI win. They came on four attempts and were hit in a span of 9:06 of game time.

5 • Steals and three-point baskets by Goodman last Friday vs. UNI. The five steals were a career high and matched a Penn player high in the Steve Donahue coaching era, while the five treys matched his career best.
 
10 • The number of times Penn has hit 90 points in the 95-game Donahue era after the wins over Rice (92-76) and Lafayette (91-61). The last time the Quakers surpassed 90 points against consecutive Division I opponents was 2002-03, when they scored 99 points at USC and then scored 98 vs. Monmouth.
 
12 • Kansas State's AP national ranking when Penn played the Wildcats in a Paradise Jam semifinal last Sunday. K-State beat the Quakers, 64-48.
 
14 • Points scored by Wang in Penn's Paradise Jam loss to Kansas State, matching his season/career high set in the season opener at George Mason.
 
20 • Consecutive games Penn won when shooting more free throws than its opponent, before the Quakers lost such a game Sunday vs. Kansas State. (Penn took 22 foul shots in the game, KSU 18.)
 
24 • Penn wins last season, most since the Quakers had 25 in 2001-02. All time, the Red and Blue have had nine seasons with 24 or more victories.
 
26 • Ivy League titles won by Penn. That is behind only Princeton (27). The rest of the league has 20 combined.
 
40 • Years since Penn started 4-0, which they did this season before Paradise Jam losses to Kansas State and Oregon State. Penn's last 4-0 start came in 1978-79 and ended with a Final Four.
 
58 • Points scored by junior Devon Goodman in the Paradise Jam (27 vs. Northern Iowa, 18 vs. Kansas State, 13 vs. Oregon State). He was named to the all-tournament team.
 
114 • Career blocked shots by Brodeur. Just past the midway point of his college career, he is already fifth on the program's all-time list in that category. Brodeur set the program's single-season record as a freshman, with 66.
 
291 • Three-point baskets scored by Penn last year, a program record. The Quakers have also set program marks each of the last two years in three-point attempts, with 690 in 2016-17 and then 830 last season.
 
38.3 • Penn's win percentage in its first 47 games under head coach Steve Donahue (18-29).
 
70.8 • Penn's win percentage in its last 48 games under Donahue (34-14).
