Why would Penn state be playing Indiana in
- Thread starter stpaulcat
- Start date
To appease to the Philly fan base at a historical site they do it every year with a Big Ten team and one out of conference. game
While their on campus place is a morgue and throw in no students back yet, I saw some on their board not happy with moving this “home” game. Chambers started doing this a few years back after his top 3 players were all Philly guys and wanted more exposure there to recruit. No clue if it’s working that way or not, but would think the current coach, who’s a good one, could stop doing it if he wanted.
Didn’t get to watch. Will have to watch the highlights tonight. I did do a ticket search this morning and was very reasonable…$15-$75. Surprisingly, looks like Woody had his team ready to go today, even without Reneau.

Indiana should be thankful. Probably a lot easier on the players to go to Philly than have to go to State College
Why is it BB home venues now seem to have so much influence on game outcomes, especially in the B1G? This is not as much true in football. Even in such revered venues as the Palestra, the better teams usually win. which we saw today with the Indiana win over "home team" PSU. What I experienced in Philly was whichever Big Five team was good at the time, they won there, and not because it gave them an advantage, in spite of being an exciting venue. Something seems off kilter re NU, they need to win games in hostile territory.
