Correct on both points.

Teams really tied in my estimation, seeding criteria was established by the league also, although it did have some objective connection to merit, which home court for tournament does not. Playoff on neutral court.

Requiring a school to have to invest in a facility in order to 'buy' home court advantage is troubling for obvious reasons. As I've heard it, Harvard did not think it is appropriate to spend the money on a new arena ahead of refurbishing student dorms. Not sure the Ivy League wants to penalize a school for a decision like that.

By the way, not sure Penn played better than Harvard in conference. Certainly didn't play better head to head in conference.
