    In response to Eric Von Zipper

There has been a suggestion that the Tigers should play a weak schedule and rack up a bunch of non-conference wins followed up by a strong IL regular season to ensure a NCAA bid regardless of the IL Tournament results. Problem with the theory is that the computers have caught up with this type of strategy as reflected in Penn's KenPom ranking with a 9-5 record. Even if Penn had a 11-3 and possibly 12-2 non-conference record this year, it would be unlikely based on the performance of the IL teams in non-conference play in addition to Penn's schedule.

Remember -- one of the arguments for the IL Tournament was the increased possibility of getting 2 IL teams to the Big Dance????
