In response to palestra38
The unfairness issue of having the tournament at the Palestra every year is real. If Robin and her merry men continue on with the notion of having an IL Tournament, they are going to have rotate the tournament site within the IL, play at conference winner's home court or find a neutral site if they have any common sense at all -- questionable.
When they conduct a pre-season poll next year, Penn will probably be projected as the four seed, possibly third seed, so there is a possibility that the IL could be heading down a similar road as this year with the possible exception that Harvard or Yale might be the #1 seed.
A possible solution if the tournament is held at the Palestra every year is for the scoreboard to reflect a 3-0 or 4-0 lead for the opponent before the opening tip. A better solution is to can the tournament but that will not happen for at least several years.
