UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - The Nittany Lion basketball team (11-10, 2-6 Big Ten) will help christen an innovative concept inside Madison Square Garden when it meets Michigan (16-5, 6-2 Big Ten) in the Big Ten's first Super Saturday College Hoops & Hockey Doubleheader in Manhattan.
Taking the floor in The Garden for the first time since knocking off Baylor to win the 2009 NIT, the Lions will be looking to extend a five-game winning streak inside the "World's Most Famous Arena". Penn State has played 16 previous games inside MSG dating back to 1971.
"You should be fired up to play in a place like Madison Square Garden," said head coach Patrick Chambers.
