Penn was credited with 102 points using ESPN’s point system. The Quakers were just ahead of Alabama from the Southeastern Conference (SEC), and just behind Georgia Tech from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Penn is the highest-ranking Ivy League program in the website’s rankings; Princeton is second at No. 40, with 93 points.

The University of Pennsylvania’s John R. Rockwell Head Coach of Men’s Basketball, Glen Miller, has announced his incoming class for the 2009 season. The program’s Class of 2013 will feature three recruited student-athletes.

“We are excited to have these three student-athletes joining our program,” said Miller, who enters his fourth season with the Quakers in 2009-10. “Each of them is versatile, skilled and has the passion and commitment level necessary to be a successful college basketball player here at Penn. Additionally, this group will have the benefit of learning from an experienced group of returning players, which will help their transition to the college game.”

These three incoming players will join a squad that returns eight letterwinners from the 2008-09 season. The Quakers went 10-18 overall last year, including 6-8 in the Ivy League. Previewing the Penn Men's Basketball Class of 2013:

One of Penn's most memorable season came in 1979 when the Quakers advanced to the NCAA Tournament Final Four. With players such as Tony Price, the Quakers stunned the nation with victories over Iona, North Carolina, Syracuse, and St. John's to advance to the Final Four. The Quakers faced Earvin "Magic" Johnson and Michigan State in the national semifinals in Salt Lake City, Utah, but ultimately were met with defeat, 101–67. Other notable Penn teams include the team lead by guards Matt Maloney and Jerome Allen during the mid-1990s and the nationally-ranked teams of the early 1970s led by Dave Wohl, Steve Bilsky, Corky Calhoun and Bob Morse. Penn's 1970–71 team completed an undefeated regular season (26–0) and advanced to the Eastern Regional Final in the NCAA Tournament, losing there to a Villanova team it had defeated during the regular season. Villanova lost to UCLA in the national championship game, but was later found to be using an ineligible player, Howard Porter.

The last NCAA Tournament victory for the Quakers came on March 17, 1994, at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. The No. 11 Red and Blue defeated the No. 6 Nebraska Cornhuskers, 90–80, in the first round. The Quakers fell in the second round to No. 3 Florida on March 19, 1994, as the Gators prevailed, 70–58.
