While much attention has been paid to Hummer, the Tigers’ other players pose threats as well.

Sophomore forward Denton Koon—Princeton’s No. 2 scorer—boasts the conference’s third best field goal percentage. On the perimeter, junior point guard TJ Bray averages 8.9 points and a league-best 2.0 steals per game, while junior forward Will Barrett leads the league in three-point shooting.

But before Saturday’s matchup between the league’s top two teams, the Crimson will face an unpredictable Quakers team that is coming off a weekend split with Brown and Yale.

“I think Penn is a lot better than their record, there’s no doubt about that,” said Amaker of the 5-17 Quakers. “They could be a team that could still be, I think, a contender in our league. I think they’re that good even though they’re missing some pieces.”

One of those pieces is junior forward Fran Dougherty, who went down with an elbow injury against Cornell two weekends ago after starting the season averaging 13.8 points per game.

With Dougherty out, Penn will likely lean more heavily on junior guard Miles Cartwright. The Ivy League’s fourth-leading scorer, Cartwright is coming off a 28-point performance in Penn’s 71-48 victory over Brown last weekend.

Rookie guard Tony Hicks has posted in double-digits in each of the last three contests.

“Watching them on film, probably of all the teams I’ve seen in our league so far, I think they play the hardest, really exert so much energy and effort,” Amaker said. “Looking to that game, I think our hands are going to be full trying to deal with that.”
