The Series with Harvard
• The Quakers lead the overall series, 135-46, but of course this series has been extremely competitive over the last decade-plus.
 
• Penn and Harvard have split the season series four of the last five years, the lone exception coming in 2018-19 when the Crimson won both regular-season meetings as well as an Ivy League Tournament semifinal at Yale.

• Penn gained the upper hand in this season's matchup just two weeks ago, with a 78-74 win over the Crimson on January 28 in Cambridge. It was the Quakers' first win at Lavietes Pavilion in a decade.
 
• Jordan Dingle scored 31 points to lead Penn's offensive attack in that game, while Max Martz had 15 points and Clark Slajchert added 10. Harvard was led by Noah Kirkwood (27 points), while Luka Sakota added 18 points and Kale Catchings scored 10.

• The teams split a pair of thrillers in 2019-20, Penn winning 75-72 in overtime at The Palestra and then Harvard avenging the loss with a 69-65 decision at Lavietes Pavilion.
 
Penn MBB By The Numbers
0 • Losses by Penn this year when leading at the half (9-0 in such games) or holding its opponent below 70 points (8-0 in such games).
 
2.15 • Junior Michael Moshkovitz's assist/turnover ratio in Ivy League play (28/13); that is tops among Ivy players who average at least three assists per game.
 
3 • 30-point games this season by sophomore Jordan Dingle (31 against Utah State, Yale, Harvard); the last Penn player with three such games in the same season was Bruce Lefkowitz in 1986-87.
 
5 • Points scored this season by sophomore Andrew Laczkowski before last weekend's games at Columbia and Cornell; then he went for 12 against the Lions (in just 13 minutes) and 10 against the Big Red.
 
6 • Consecutive double-figure scoring games for sophomore Clark Slajchert before last weekend, when he scored eight at Columbia and nine at Cornell.
 
6.8 • Points-per-game difference between Ivy League games (9.6) and non-conference games (2.8) for freshman George Smith.

21 • Starts made this season by senior Jelani Williams; he is the only player to start every game so far this season.
 
19.5 • Dingle's overall points-per-game average entering Saturday's game, tops among Ivy players; the sophomore has hit double figures in 18 of 21 games this season and nine points in each of the other three.
 
+22 • The difference in rebound margin from Penn's first game with Columbia on January 8 (31-48, -17) and its second game which was last Friday (47-42, +5).
 
37.9 • Penn's rebounds-per-game average in Ivy League play, tops among the Ancient Eight programs; the Quakers are also tops in defensive rebounds per game in Ivy play (29.2).
 
41 • Rebounds collected by Moshkovitz over Penn's last four games (9 vs. Yale, 9 at Harvard, 13 at Columbia, 10 at Cornell).
 
47 • Points scored by Max Martz over Penn's last three games; the sophomore set a season high with 15 points at Harvard on January 28, then bested it in both games last weekend with 16 each at Columbia and Cornell.
 
47 • Years since a Penn player had back-to-back 30-point games, as Dingle did against Yale and Harvard (making him the first player in program history with consecutive 30-point games in Ivy play); Keven McDonald scored 35 points vs. Tennessee, then 32 one day later vs. Ohio State at the 1975 Sugar Bowl Classic.
