Tonight at the Bryce Jordan Center, Penn State Men's Basketball will face off against #16 Illinois in its 3rd of 5 consecutive games against ranked opponents.
In addition to the intrigue that comes with playing a quality opponent, the game has added value in that all student ticket sales will go towards THON.
Tickets are $5. You can purchase on at the HUB today, or at the door tonight. So make sure you bust out your fanny packs, crazy colors and big pink Atlas hat (if you're lucky enough to have one), and head to the BJC at 9:00 to cheer on the team.

Something about the GoPSUSports.com recap of last night's basketball game between the Nittany Lions and Mount St. Mary's didn't sit quite right. No, it wasn't the fact that the Lions were tied with 30 seconds left in the game to a team whose college many would be hard pressed to find on a map (Emmitsburg, Maryland). On the 69th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attacks that launched America into the second World War, GoPSUSports included into its game recap a rather interesting lede.
It's official. The Nittany Lions are Tampa bound for New Years. The Outback Bowl website lists that Penn State and Florida will face off for only the third time ever on New Years Day.
