The Series with Dartmouth
• The Quakers have a 156-63 lead over the Big Green in the all-time series.
 
• Dartmouth won the most recent meeting between these two, taking a 66-59 decision in Hanover on February 21, 2020. That snapped a five-game Penn win streak in the series.
 
• The Big Green's last win at The Palestra came on March 3, 2017 (76-74).
 
The Series with Princeton
• The Quakers own a 126-117 record over the Tigers; that said, Princeton's 117 wins are more than any other Ivy League opponent has over Penn.
 
• Princeton has dominated the series for awhile now, winning four in a row, 12 of the last 14, and 20 of the last 24 matchups dating back to the 2008-09 season.
 
• The Tigers swept the season series in 2019-20, taking a 78-64 decision at The Palestra on January 4 and then a 63-58 victory just six days later in Jadwin Gym.
 
• Penn has won just once in its last 11 trips to Jadwin; that came during the Quakers' 2017-18 Ivy championship season, an 82-65 decision.
 
Ivy Honors For Slajchert
Sophomore guard Clark Slajchert—who on Saturday will play against his older brother, Wes, a senior guard for the Big Green—was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week on Monday after he led Penn with 19 points in its win over Cornell on Friday and followed up with 11 points the next night vs. Columbia. This marks the second consecutive week Penn won the Rookie Award, as freshman guard George Smith garnered the honor on January 3.
 
Penn MBB By The Numbers
2.7 • Three-point baskets per game by junior Jonah Charles and sophomore Jordan Dingle this season, both with 41 in 15 games; they are tied with each other for second among Ivy League players in that category, behind only Dartmouth's Brendan Barry (3.6).
 
4 • Penn players who have at least one 20-point game this season: Dingle, Slajchert, and Smith and senior Michael Wang.
 
5 • Different Penn players who have led the team in scoring over the last five games: Dingle, Charles, Smith, Slajchert, and sophomore Max Martz; prior to that, Dingle led the Quakers in scoring in 10 of their first 12 games this season.
 
6 • Games in which Penn has a double-figure total of three-point baskets; the Quakers—who have knocked down nine treys in four other games this season—dialed long-distance 14 times at La Salle.
 
9 • The number of 20-point games by Dingle already this season; that includes a four-game streak that ended December 11 at La Salle.
 
10 • The number of Penn players who have at least one double-figure scoring game this season.
 
12 • Different players who have made at least one start this season for Penn, which has used nine different starting lineups across 16 games; the only two players to start every game in which they played are senior guard Jelani Williams and Dingle.
 
19.0 • Dingle's points-per-game average, second among players behind only Yale's Azar Swain (19.4 ppg).
 
49 • Points scored by Moshkovitz over Penn's last four games, after he went for just 19 across the Quakers' first 12 games; "Mosh" also has 25 rebounds and 18 assists over the last four games.
 
50 • Points scored by Smith over the last four games, including three double-digit outings; he entered the La Salle game with 21 combined points across his first 10 collegiate appearances.
 
89.7 • Slajchert's free-throw percentage this season (26-29), tops among Ivy League players; Yale's Swain is second, at 88.9 percent.
