On Tuesday afternoon, Penn students and employees gathered outside the Palestra in the dozens to send Penn men’s basketball off to the site of its first round NCAA Tournament game against Kansas on Thursday: Wichita, Kansas.

If the Quakers are going to shock the world and pull off the historic upset, here's four things they will have to do.

The No. 16 Red and Blue have a date in the Big Dance with No. 1 seed Kansas on Thursday. The Quakers will look to make history as the first ever No. 16 seed to defeat a No. 1 seed in the modern era of the NCAA Tournament. 

The announcement came days after the launch of a petition calling on Penn Law's dean to take action against Wax for stating that black students have never graduated top of their class.

Penn women's basketball saw its season extended after the National Invitational Tournament selection committee announced that the Quakers will take on Albany in the first round.

Krasner also announced that he has advised his staff not to seek charges for those arrested for marijuana possession.

The announcement comes in response to a faculty motion to rescind the president's honorary degree.

At the most basic level, this can be seen through the many different basketball rating systems that have the Quakers as an extremely underrated and under-seeded team.

NCH opened for its first freshmen residents in 2016 and is now one of the University's four-year undergraduate dorms. It was also the only four-year house that filled up so quickly. 

Information accessed included class enrollment, students' names, and the last four digits of their social security numbers.
