The D/H Weekend
*Penn is making this trip for just the second time since 2019-20 and the 66th time overall.

*The Quakers have swept this trip 34 times (most recently in 2011-12), split it 21 times (including two years ago), and been swept ten times (most recently in 2019-20).

The Series with Dartmouth
*The Quakers and Big Green are meeting for the 228th time overall, with Penn holding a 161-66 lead in the overall series.

*These teams split last year's series, Dartmouth getting a 73-70 victory in Hanover in the Ivy opener for both clubs but Penn coming back for an 88-75 win at The Palestra. The year before, the Red and Blue swept the Green.

*Leede Arena has been a bugaboo spot in recent years for the Quakers, who have lost four of their last five in Hanover and gone just 3-8 across their last 11 trips to the Upper Valley.

The Series with Harvard
*The Quakers and Crimson are meeting for the 189th time overall, with Penn holding a 139-49 lead in the series.

*Penn and Harvard split the series last year, the road team winning each of the games. Penn beat Harvard in Cambridge, 82-67—the Quakers' third win in four trips to Lavietes—but the Crimson came back with a 79-78 win in overtime in the rematch about a month later in Philly.

*Looking at the recent history, Penn has lost three of the last four to Harvard but prior to that they had won five out of six including season sweeps in 2022 and 2023.

A New-Look Ivy Schedule in 2025-26
*After following the same structure for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons, the Ivy League schedule has a new look for the 2025-26 campaign.

*Penn will have some work to do in the first half of conference play—the Quakers play five of their first seven league games on the road, then five out of six at home before ending the campaign at Brown on Friday, March 6.

*That said, Penn will play just one traditional "Ivy weekend" on the road this season: January 30-31 at Columbia and Cornell.

*Two of Penn's Ivy League games will air nationally on ESPNU—the January 24 home game with Yale and the February 7 home game with Princeton.

Penn MBB by the Numbers
