The 2016–17 Penn Quakers women's basketball team will represent the University of Pennsylvania during the 2016–17 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Quakers, led by eighth year head coach Mike McLaughlin, play their home games at the Palestra and are members of the Ivy League. The team was picked by the Ivy League in the pre-season to be conference champions.[1]

Ivy League changes

This season, the Ivy League will institute conference postseason tournaments. The tournaments will only award the Ivy League automatic bids for the NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Basketball Tournaments; the official conference championships will continue to be awarded based solely on regular-season results. The Ivy League playoff will take place March 11 and 12 at the Palestra. There will be two semifinal games on the first day with the No. 1 seed playing the No. 4 seed and the No. 2 seed playing the No. 3 seed. The final will be played the next day for the NCAA bid.[2]
