Penn has no chance of a top seed. If Joe's beats Nova tonight, Penn will play the loser of Temple v. LaSalle for 3rd place. If Nova wins, Penn will play Drexel for last place, despite having beaten Nova.
Crappy system.
While I agree with you that it’s a crappy system, Penn was not going to play Drexel in the fifth place game Saturday unless both Villanova and LaSalle won Wednesday night. Since St. Joe’s and LaSalle are already scheduled to play twice during the season, it was predetermined they would not face each other in the triple header unless it was for first place. With LaSalle finishing second in their pod, St. Joe’s would not have played them in the third place game.

Thanks, I was unaware of that wrinkle. I am just hoping that in future years, we are not prevented from playing the non-pod Big Five teams outside of the tournament --the scheduling of 2 D-3 games is unacceptable.

Langel. Who is from NJ and would not mind coming home to his alma mater with better resources, better academics (no slight on Colgate), and better facilities (the Palestra!).
