Penn’s chances of jumping up to a 13 seed are on the line today, as it needs two upsets in the America East, Atlantic 10, or MAC tournament finals. There’s a chance Houston could end up below the Quakers on the s-curve, but a win at Memphis probably would be enough to keep that from happening. Elsewhere, Long Beach State has jumped ahead of Penn in the RPI, so root for Cal Poly to spring that upset in the Big West final as well.
