I totally agree with NMSU I think they will make the Sweet 16.. WAC got some interesting respect in that 4 of the 16 teams in the CBI are from the WAC including GCU (which should've gotten an NIT bid honestly with a 22-11 record and making the WAC final in their first year of eligibility).

as for Penn being a 16.. Its pretty much a lock the team that wins the IVY league title ends up a 16 seed every year I think its only happened a few times the Ivy champ has been a 15 even.. But lets not forget its been IVY league teams that have come the closests to making the 16 seed upset of a 1 happen a couple times.. Any team who gets the Ivy Champ needs to keep their heads in the game and not overlook them because if they do they just might get upset and become the subject of a sports jeopardy question..
