since basketball is getting very interesting at the end of this season, it’s been on my moping more that football or anything else sports related. Mark Packer was talking with Reese Davis about Kansas and said that this was the best place to see a college basketball game. I was thinking that instead of scheduling home games against cupcakes, it would be great if Penn State would try to schedule games against the big boys like Kansas and Duke. Of course, they may not want to do a home and home, but I’d be happy with a one way game when the students aren’t on campus.
The first two on my list are Kansas and Duke. UNC and Kentucky would also be on the list. I’d add UVA because my wife is a grad. I’d also like to play Nova in the Palestra every year. I guess playing Arizona, UCLA, St. Mary’s and Gonzaga would give us some west coast exposure. This isn’t a one season schedule, but maybe play one ACC team, one of Kansas/Kentucky, and one west coast team per year. Maybe we could convince some of these teams to make a return trip to the Palestra ad opposed to BJC. Not that it would happen, but we sure would find out whether our basketball team was any good.
What other teams/ venues would you like to see Penn State basketball play in?
