Penn State Shows Its Love Toward Hoops Programs
By Zach Langdon
The Boiling Point:Penn State’s basketball practices were pushed out of their home arena and practice courts this week due to Bon Jovi and THON, their charity dance marathon.
Sometimes, you feel like a certain school just can’t catch a break. I felt this way when Kevin Coble quit the team at Northwestern this year, basically murdering their Big Dance hopes. Now, I feel that way with Penn State.
BlueWhite Illustrated, the Penn State Rivals affiliate, reports:
"“After being pushed out of the Bryce Jordan Center for practices last week in advance of their game at Michigan State last Thursday – due to the Bryce Jordan Center becoming rehearsal space for Bon Jovi’s tour – the Nittany Lions continue to face scheduling conflicts with practice time in their home arena."
"“Like last week, the team practiced this afternoon not on the main arena floor of the BJC, or in the South Gym – the practice facility in the BJC for both the men’s and women’s teams – but instead, across the street at Penn State’s Intramural Building in what until a month ago had been exclusively a volleyball only gym.”"
