My guess is that the 27th game will be a trip to Lafayette.

I stand corrected, as Drexel has released their non-conference schedule and Penn isn't on it. So Temple and St. Joe's are 2 of the 4 remaining non-conference games for Penn.
I doubt that Lafayette will be on it this year....

Lafayette and Navy will both be on the docket I believe.

I believe Lafayette's Navy will dock, and Drexel will duck the Quackers.

Also, per Blogging The Bracket, Manhattan is now listed as one of the participants in the tournament.

Per the article:
Brandywine men's basketball has played at the Palestra five times since 1995, most recently on January 20, 2005, suffering a 55-48 setback to the Quakers' junior varsity squad. Each of the teams' meetings at the Palestra came while Brandywine was allowed only two-year eligibility for student-athletes by PSUAC rule.
I believe this is a Div 3 program stepping up from Junior College status

Florida Atlantic is another team that will appear in the Gulf Coast Showcase. So far, four are known (Penn, PSU-Brandywine, Manhattan, and Florida Atlantic)

As Pennhoops noted in June, last year every team participating in the Gulf Coast Showcase hosted a home game against a Non D-1 opponent.
I believe that this year, like last year, the eight teams in Estero (and Penn's three opponents) will all be D-1 programs.

So does this count as one of those tournaments we can only do 2 out of every 4 years?!?
If so that's a pretty pathetic lineup to justify using one of our tournament opps we can only do 2 out of 4 years. We really couldn't get into a better one?

Obviously Villanova, Temple and St Joe's have to be added. So not many games left to fill in.

If Penn St. Brandywine is part of the Gulf Coast Classic, that game, and the three games in Florida count as 1 game for scheduling purposes.
We would then be awaiting dates for Temple, St. Joe, at Villanova, at Lafayette and TWO other opponents.
Howard University has not officially confirmed a December 4 game with Penn. We are depending on other sources for the scheduling of that game.

Didn't Penn already play at Lafayette in 2015?

Penn and Lafayette have played each other almost every year since Fran O'Hanlon left Fran Dunphy's staff to become the head coach at Lafayette.
And switch opponents on February 23 and February 24. The Dartmouth home game is now on Friday night and the Harvard home game is now on Saturday night. This switch was probably instigated by Princeton based upon ESPN U agreeing to televise the Harvard at Princeton game if it were moved to Friday night.

According to Princeton Basketball:
http://goprincetontigers.com/schedule.aspx?schedul...
Friday 1/05/18 vs Princeton
Tuesday 2/06/18 at Princeton
For Penn, the first game will be during winter break. The second will be between a home game against Yale on the 3rd and a road game against Dartmouth on the 9th.

Thank god we didn't stop scheduling Princeton games during school breaks, even if it can't be spring break.

Will either or both of these be doubleheaders with the women?

Temple announced today that they'll play Penn at the Palestra on Saturday, Jan. 20. Time TBD, but at least we know the day of the week. (And it's a good day of the week.)
http://owlsports.com/news/2017/8/24/wiscon sin-high...
For those interested, Temple won't play a home game until Dec. 6, but from then through Dec. 16 will host Wisconsin, St. Joe's, Villanova and Drexel in succession.
Back I go to lurking and covering that other sport I cover. See you along the way.

Here it is

I just need to add how profoundly odd it is that we're playing two MAC teams in one year.
