Calling it now, a 16 beats a 1 this year...

I'm not picking it, but I think Penn over Kansas has the most potential.
Sadly, the first time this ever really happens will probably when we're a 1 seed.

There's no way Penn should be a 16 seed. The Ivy League is a pretty decent one bid league and its champion is usually seeded around 13-14. Penn's RPI is 115, which is nowhere close to the RPI you usually see with a 16 seed. For comparison's sake, Texas Southern's RPI is 222.
Sorry. Did not know you were on the men's team. You should have been told by coach Ben last night the next game is Sunday for your team.
Penn looks like a team that would give a 3 or 4 seed fits.
Way under seeded as a 16. Almost like they are trying to make the 16-1 happen like the women did in '98 with an under seeded Harvard against an overseeded Stanford with multiple injuries.
For those who don't remember, Harvard was 22-4, had won the Ivy League three straight years and had the nation's leading scorer. Probably should have been a 7 or 8 seed. They got seeded 16 against a Stanford team that had lost a couple of key players late. It was a manufactured upset to bring attention to the women's game.
A funny anecdote, is the girl that made the winning shot applied to Stanford medical school. They jokingly told her that there was no way she could get into Stanford after what she did to them. She got in.

That’s the one that caught my eye. It’s just not worth it to pick, because Penn has no chance of making a deep run.
Wouldn't know. Last four minutes kept cutting out. Thanks Sling. My wife thought I was going to throw something through the tv. It was close
