City 6 Preview: Pennsylvania Quakers

10/31/2013

0 Comments

 
Penn basketball has seen better days. The storied program that plays in one of the most historic arenas there is had a season many would like to forget in 2013-13. The Quakers finished the season with a 9-22 record overall and a 6-8 record in the Ivy League. Despite a rough season, Penn returns most of its stat leaders from last season and should improve vastly with another year of experience under their belts.
The Quakers have been picked to finish second in the Ivy League this year, behind only defending champion Harvard. With a nice mix of experience and youth, Penn should hit double-digit wins this season (hopefully).

Penn will look to its two returning scoring leaders from 2012-13 to lead the way. Senior guard Miles Jackson-Cartwright comes off a season in which he averaged 13.5 points and 3.8 assists per game and will look to improve on those numbers. Jackson-Cartwright will have help down low from the Quakers' other returning top scorer, senior forward Fran Dougherty, who averaged 12.8 points and 7.5 rebounds in 2012-13.

Penn will also look to sophomore center Darien Nelson-Henry to improve and take on a bigger workload following an impressive freshman campaign. The 6'11" center averaged 7.6 points and 4.1 rebounds per game in about 17 minutes of play as a freshman.

With another year of experience, the Quakers should be vastly improved from a season ago. In a conference that is far from a basketball powerhouse, it is conceivable that Penn could come away as Ivy League champions in 2013-14.

Season opener: 11/9 v. Temple
