OT: Why is Pen St playing in a small rec center tonight?

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Something wrong with their arena?

 

[Erial_Lion]

We’ve been trying to play a game at Rec Hall every few years…much better home court atmosphere than the ~16k seat BJC on a weeknight.

 

[rino_deez]

No video replay capability at BJC?

 

[bac2therac]

this really shouldnt be allowed

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Another Big Red at Pen St

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Illinois gonna choke

 

[bac2therac]

is there an uglier fanbase in America than in Happy Valley

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Really bad choke job by Illinois.
Very stupid team

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

PEN ST WINS!

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Crap, just realized it’s bad for RU.

Illinois looked like they were paid off TBH

 

[bac2therac]

what an embarrassment for the conference

its why the SEC, Big East and Big 12 fill up the top 4 seeds in the ncaa every year after year

the league only has one high end victory available and that is Purdue

 

[JayDogSmooth]

I wish we played a nonconference game every year at the college Avenue barn

Then, again, I always wished the Devils & Nets played a preseason game every year at the Meadowlands

 

[RocktheRac]

Meanwhile we stuggle vs Minny.

 

[bac2therac]

up 12 with 5:27 left

up 10 with 2:30 left......

up 7 with 37 sec

coleman hawkins could have hit 2ft and put them up 4 and missed both

then he fouls on the missed 3 pointer by running into the guy after he shot it.

 

[mikeyo]

Reminiscent of our loss at Minnesota last year

I watched it live. This is why it's good to watch other games that don't involve Rutgers. You see that missed layups and implosions happen to other teams, too. Misery loves company.

It’s also an education generally.

Missed foul shots are one thing but the brain fart fouling the guy taking the three is inexcusable.

Penn State scoring 90 points against Illinois without their best player is quite a accomplishment.The head coach is doing a terrific job with almost entirely a new roster.

Meanwhile we stuggle vs Minny.

Blame the loss on the slippery floor and the new sneakers.

Minnesota beat PSU? Asking for a friend.

Uh, you mean there might actually/possibly be an atmosphere in Rec Hall. BJC is by far the lamest hoops atmosphere I ever witnessed at the collegiate level (across dozens of venues I have watched games). It’s the polar opposite of beaver stadium.

On the road no less.
