St. John’s to face Penn State as part of the Holiday Festival

Well, this is a far cry from some of the Holiday Festival opponents of past years.

The Johnnies will take on the Penn State Nittany Lions on December 18, as part of a doubleheader. The other half of the doubleheader will be Rutgers vs Fordham.

You may remember Penn State from a miserable overtime game that featured a 15-point deficit, a spirited comeback, the loosening of the reins on Max Hooper, a missed free throw, a Max Hooper flagrant arm, and the virtual death of NCAA hopes in November.

It was in Barclays but it was no classic.
