Penn women's basketball to have Selection Show watch party at the Palestra

 

Selection Monday is going to be a big night for Penn women's basketball and the Quakers are going to let the rest of Penn's campus celebrate with them.

On Monday, the team will hold a Selection Show watch party at the Palestra that will be open to the public. The videoboard at the Cathedral of College Basketball will display the Selection Show, which will be televised on ESPN. The show will announce the field of 64 for this year's NCAA Tournament and the Quakers will find out right at home at the Palestra.

The doors to the Palestra will open at 6:15 p.m. and the first 200 fans will receive free t-shirts, while all fans in attendance will have the opportunity to take pictures with the Ivy League championship trophy. There will also be streamers for fans to throw when the Quakers are announced, a nod to the long-standing Palestra tradition.

The Quakers clinched the Ivy League's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament by beating Princeton on Tuesday, finishing off the season 22-6 and 12-2 in Ivy play.

According to ESPN bracketologist Charlie Creme, the team is likely to be a 12 seed when the bracket is announced but a 13 seed isn't out of the realm of possibilities.
