It's non basketball related. But he's done for the year most likelyClary?
And that's crazy. Quick search says he got hurt and came back and was coming off the bench? Is he that butt hurt that he came off the bench that he's outta there?!

I just checked on Seat Geek and there are still plenty of tickets available (some as low as $38 ... before fees, of course). Perhaps Seat Geek can set filters that limit sales to only Pennsylvania zip codes .. not sure.There will be no Orange in that dinky little “arena” other than what the team brings. Penn State will allow no one but season ticket holders in rec Hall. What is Rec Hall? Think Huff Gym with more seats. It’s quaint. Built 1921 or such. I’ve been there for volleyball.
But I had bought tickets via SeatGeek—presumably from a season ticket holder—and SeatGeek took them back. I asked what the deal was, and SeatGeek said the seller was told he couldn’t sell them.
So the only way Illinois fans might be able to get tickets would be directly from the ticket holder.
It's about us.
The conference title race got a lil more interesting
Knew he was hurt didn’t know statusClearly is done with Penn State most likely
Gimmick games like this are for one reason - the team thinks it's a winnable game and they want the additional novelty and atmosphere. If I'm Underwood, I'm leaning into that and telling the team PSU picked them for this game for a very specific reason.Are we sure about that? Its getting played in a tiny arena. Fans will be right on top of the court, likely a full house due to the limited capacity and the small area will amplify the noise.
Need to bury PSU early and take the crowd out of it.
Would be kind of a good cool environment to play in when you can't fill your arena.Gimmick games like this are for one reason - the team thinks it's a winnable game and they want the additional novelty and atmosphere.

If we can handle Stoneybrook before a sellout crowd of 4300, we will be ok here.Playing in a strange situation game in a funky gym for some reason makes me a little nervous. Let's take care of business.
You are a hero, pushing forward despite that challenge. I was an undergrad during the Henson years and so being a fan was easier. My wifey (then girlfriend) dragged me from the library to Assembly Hall and into Orange Krush (which was a blast!). Don't miss-understand: she was the far better student, I just had to work at it. Even though I was the basketball player and later coach. Life is an adventure, brother! Hold onto it tightly!I was in undergrad during the Groce years ...
The seats are listed…but “the venue” isn’t allowing transfers of tickets. I have a Pennsylvania ZIP, and I had my tickets pulled. I have friends who are Penn State fans (one helped train James Franklin while he was in college) and they couldn’t get tickets. I’ve talked with other people partial to Penn State and they all agree that it’s not a good look for PSU.I just checked on Seat Geek and there are still plenty of tickets available (some as low as $38 ... before fees, of course).

What does that mean? The seats listed can’t actually be sold? Does that mean there will end up being a 500 or so empty seats?The seats are listed…but “the venue” isn’t allowing transfers of tickets.

That won’t matter to PSU if they win. They must not win.
I don’t know. What I do know is I got an email from SeatGeek saying they were sending my money back. When I asked if they knew why, like I said, the seller said it was the venue’s call. If you can get seats, send them to me. I’ll go.What does that mean? The seats listed can’t actually be sold? Does that mean there will end up being a 500 or so empty seats?
I know originally, Penn State said only season ticket holders would be allowed to purchase tickets. But it seems almost impossible to police who ends up using a digital ticket. If that’s the case, I hope they end up with a sellout, but only a quarter of the arena filled.I don’t know. What I do know is I got an email from SeatGeek saying they were sending my money back.

Kenney Gym holds 3000. We have not sold that few to a non weather game in 100 years.Would be kind of a good cool environment to play in when you can't fill your arena.
I was in undergrad during the Groce years and never got to see them make the tournament so wasn't too excited for games but would have made a point to go to a game at Huff or Kenney.
Isn't Minnesota a gimmick gym already?I'm kind of gobsmacked that the Big Ten allowed the change in venue. What's the next gimmick? Minnesota using the tri-color ABA basketballs?
Ha, lowkey one of my favorite Illini games in recent memory. A place we would have never otherwised stepped foot in and it was actually a tough, hard fought win.If we can handle Stoneybrook before a sellout crowd of 4300, we will be ok here.
Wrong. Yes, playing at BJC is not a home court advantage with its curtained off upper deck, BUT this game is at old Rec Hall. It will be packed. It will be loud. The students will go after STJ relentlessly. It will be a home court advantage for Penn State.One thing is for sure … we won’t have the atmosphere we faced at NU, MSU, Maryland or even Ohio State. Let’s win by double digits and keep this streak goin’.
Ahh yes, Sherrence Thannon JrWrong. Yes, playing at BJC is not a home court advantage with its curtained off upper deck, BUT this game is at old Rec Hall. It will be packed. It will be loud. The students will go after STJ relentlessly. It will be a home court advantage for Penn State.
An opportunity for a Co Big 10 title will come with challenges. Their's starts Wednesday night.
Hehe typing on the trainAhh yes, Sherrence Thannon Jr
Just an idea: Seat Geek is a ticketing partner of most, if not all, BT schools. Try Stub Hub and see what happens.The seats are listed…but “the venue” isn’t allowing transfers of tickets.

Actually, that Shannon Terrance Jr is supposed to be a heck of a player.Ahh yes, Sherrence Thannon Jr

It seems like the heckling so far hasn't been quite as terrible as anticipated...there's definitely been some crappy chants but a lot of them sound half-assed from the student sections. Just my uninformed POV from the coziness of my couchActually, that Shannon Terrance Jr is supposed to be a heck of a player.
And if there is EVER a school permanently disqualified from heckling a player about a paper-thin sexual assault allegation, it’s the Fighting Sanduskies (MSU is a close second for Larry Nasser).
