As if the matchup against DePaul in the first annual Gavitt Tipoff series wasn't enough to whet your appetite for, shall we say, "basketball under construction," Penn State will ship up to Chestnut Hill to play the Boston College Eagles for the third time in five seasons.

As for BC, their first real test under new head coach Jim Christian could very well come against Penn State. Christian was brought in from Ohio University to replace the fired Steve Donahue, who went on to replace Jerome Allen at Penn.
