Much was made about Penn State’s talented 2016 recruiting class, which was officially signed on Wednesday. On Saturday, however, the story on the court was not about high school seniors.
It was about a true freshman and a new starter.
VMI won the opening tip and dribbled down the floor for the opening offensive possession of the season. Ten seconds into the game, the Reaves era of Nittany Lions basketball officially began at the Bryce Jordan Center. Reaves intercepted the Keydets’ first pass and slammed it home, much to the delight of the nearly 6,000 fans in attendance.
