In response to SteveChop
I'm not an RPI expert, but it is my understanding that coaches try not to schedule games like this because it lowers the SOS and thus the RPI. I know RPI isn't the instrument any longer used, but I believe DI SOS is still relevant. Unless Penn secures an automatic bid, this game is an obstacle to an at large NCAA or NIT bid, no matter how much Penn wins by.
I believe that the alternative are games against D3 teams (Stockton) or Canadian schools (like McGill).
Regardless, I don't think you want to be playing the lowest ranked D1 school - which happens to be #353 Delaware St.
