    In response to palestra38

A couple of things to mention about home court and the Palestra - it has a history as a 'home' court for other teams in the Big 5 and a Tournament site. Much of the HC advantage for Penn can be dialed out of the place with ticket sales, etc. More importantly, the Ivy home teams tend not to have the same advantage they might in other conferences. I have not run an data analysis on this but I'm pretty sure Ivy road teams are over .500 this year and probably close to that against the spread. Also note that Ivy referees are about as adept at home calls as they are with every everything else ;-) Hopefully, that will improve at IvyMadness.
