ANNAPOLIS (Interstat) — Penn will visit Navy for a men’s NCAA Division I basketball game on Wednesday at Alumni Hall. The Quakers enter at 1-1, while the Midshipmen are 2-1.

Penn is coming off a 78-65 home win over Howard. Sir Mohammed, a player to watch for the Quakers, finished with 17 points, five rebounds, one assist and one block. TJ Power scored 23 points and AJ Levine added eight points and five assists in the win. Penn’s other result this season was a 112-70 loss at Illinois, when Mohammed had four points, seven rebounds and three assists. The Quakers will look to build on their most recent performance and challenge a Navy team that has won two straight.

Navy most recently defeated Central Penn 102-46. Justin Nordin, a player to watch for the Midshipmen, scored 18 points in 15 minutes and added two rebounds and one assist. Jordan Pennick and Jinwoo Kim each scored 15 points in the win. Navy also has a 66-60 home win over Delaware State and a 91-39 loss at George Washington. Nordin had four points and one rebound in the loss at George Washington and one rebound in limited action against Delaware State. The Midshipmen have scored efficiently in their two wins and will try to carry that form into the matchup with Penn.

The game matches two programs looking to establish early-season momentum. Penn will rely on Mohammed and Power to create offense, while Navy will count on Nordin and a balanced supporting cast. Alumni Hall will host the Midshipmen as they seek a third win of the season. Penn will aim to earn a second win and split the early road-and-home portion of its schedule. Both teams have played close to their current form, with Penn scoring 70 points in each of its first two games and Navy showing a wide range between its wins and its lone loss. The matchup should offer a test of Penn’s ability to handle Navy’s home court and Navy’s ability to sustain production against a Division I opponent. Penn and Navy have both played three games or fewer, and the matchup is part of an early nonconference schedule for each program. The Quakers are 1-0 at home and 0-1 on the road, while Navy is 2-0 at home and 0-1 on the road. Navy’s most recent win came after a 102-point performance, and Penn’s most recent win came after a 78-point effort.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a final score of Navy 76, Penn 73. Interstat’s ELO system gives Navy a 53.9 percent probability to win.
