PHILADELPHIA – The Ivy League has announced its 2021-22 All-Ivy teams in men's basketball, and sophomore guard Jordan Dingle was a unanimous selection as first-team All-Ivy. He is the 43rd player in program history to earn first-team honors but just the 13th from that group to gain the recognition as a sophomore.
 
The 2019-20 Ivy League Rookie of the Year, Dingle has put together one of the most prolific offensive seasons in program history in 2021-22, scoring 514 points across 25 appearances for an Ivy League-leading, 20.6 per-game average—a number that rises to 21.2 ppg in Ivy play. He could end up as just the fifth player in program history to finish a season with a per-game average above 20, the most recent being Keven McDonald who averaged 21.2 ppg in 1976-77 and 22.3 in 1977-78. Dingle has scored in double figures in 22 of his 25 games so far this season, barely missing that mark in each of the other three when he scored nine. That includes 15 games with at least 20 points and a staggering six with more than 30. The last Penn player to record that many 30-point games in the same season was Ernie Beck as a junior all the way back in 1951-52. Five of Dingle's 30-point games came in Ivy play, the first time that has happened in program history.
 
Dingle also leads Penn with 62 three-point baskets and is second with 62 assists. His 21 steals are third on the team. In Ivy play he finished the regular season third among Ancient Eight players in free-throw percentage (.850), fourth in three-point field goals per game (2.2), 13th in three-point FG percentage (.308) and tied for 13th in assists per game (2.0).
 
Dingle is one of four unanimous selections along with Princeton junior forward Tosan Evbuomwan, Harvard senior guard Noah Kirkwood, and Yale senior guard Azar Swain. They are joined on the first team by Princeton senior guard Jaelin Llewellyn. Evbuomwan also was a unanimous selection as the Ivy League Player of the Year, while Brown's freshman guard Kino Lilly Jr. was the Ivy League Rookie of the Year and his Bears teammate Jaylan Gainey was voted the Defensive Player of the Year. Cornell head coach Brian Earl was voted by his peers as the Ivy League Coach of the Year.

Penn is 12-15 overall and will be the third seed for this weekend's Ivy League Tournament at Harvard's Lavietes Pavilion after going 9-5 in Ivy play. The Red and Blue face second-seeded Yale on Saturday at 2 p.m. in a game that will air nationally on ESPNU. Top-seeded Princeton and fourth-seeded Cornell meet in Saturday's first semifinal, at 11 a.m., and then Saturday's winners will play in the #IvyMadness Championship Game on Sunday at noon to determine the league's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. That game will air nationally on ESPN2.
