Penn played at Florida St. and lost by 35 last night. Box score below.
Penn did not play any games last year because the Ivy League canceled the season due to Covid. So, we have to look back to the 19-20 for reference. Penn was 16-11 overall during the 19-20 campaign and finished 8-6 in conference play.
The Quakers are picked #4 in preseason Ivy League polls.
Andy Katz has reported, “The league race will be tight with as many as 6 of the 8 legitimately in contention for the league title, although Amaker said he could see all eight in the race. The chase for the four spots in the Ivy League playoff may be as intense as ever.”

Box Score vs Florida St.: https://pennathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/stats/2021-22/florida-state/boxscore/17832
6’3” sophomore Jordan Dingle (13.5 ppg & 3.4 reb) is the Quakers leading returning scorer. Max Martz is another returning starter who averaged 7.9 ppg to go with 3.2 rebounds. There are many unknowns on the roster. Players like Jonah Charles missed the entire 18-19 season due to injury and then missed last year due to the Ivy League cancelling play. Penn has five freshmen on the roster this year.
Team captains are Jelani Williams and Lucas Monroe. Monroe was one of just three freshmen to play in all 27 games in 2019-20. He averaged 3.4 points and 3.2 rebounds per game and also had 24 assists, 16 steals and 12 blocked shots. Williams has had an injury-plagued career suffering 3 ACL injuries.
During the 2019-2020 season Penn averaged 73.7 ppg while giving up 70.6 ppg. As a team they shot 45.6% from the field and 33.1% from 3. They held opponents to 42.0% shooting and 33.5% from 3. They averaged 14.8 assists per game during the 19-20 season while turning it over 12 times per game.
The game is on ESPN+.
My prediction: This should be a double digit win. GMU 77 - Penn 65.
