Off we go on what promises to be an interesting evening of college hoops around here. Over the next five-plus hours there will be three games: Penn State-St. Joe's at 4 p.m., Creighton-Drexel at 5 and Penn-Villanova at 7.
I'm at the Palestra now, where the big surprise so far is the existence of a Penn State student section. I'd estimate it at around 40, in section 210 at the east end of the floor. Of course, that's dwarfed by the usual mammoth St. Joe's student section, but 40 is more than nothing. And they're very into it.
Late in the second half, I'll be making a mad dash for the Main Line to see the first Big 5 game of the year. Yes, that means I have to miss the Creighton-Drexel game, but I'd rather see most of two games instead of halves of three games.
For now, let's see what happens in terms of atmosphere between the Nittany Lions and the Hawks. This could be interesting, at least for a little while.
Oh, and check out Mike Jensen's college football and college basketball reports for the week.

At what juncture of the SJU game did you leave?
Did you drive or take the train to our game at Nova?
Any Penn fans there?
