PSU Altoona
basketball team
is 'filling it up'
I went down memory lane on a recent Saturday at Penn State Altoona's Adler Arena.
Dean Smith's four-corner offense came to mind, not for the reason you might expect. The shot clock ended that offensive keep-away strategy years ago.
One of the best ticket values in the area is a Penn State Altoona men's basketball game.
The cost of one gallon of gas is $3.89 as I write this, and for $3 a ticket, you get two hours of entertainment in your backyard.
The lion mascot can be seen mingling with the fans, and if you get hungry, food and drink are available for purchase.
Coach David McGreal, staff and players appear to have everything clicking going down the stretch. Their controlled run-and-shoot offense is enjoyable to watch.
They recently avenged a loss by scoring over 120 points in the process. If you like to see slam dunks sprinkled in and defensive stops -- no problem, they've got it covered.
I've only attended two games at the Adler Arena, both this season, and I'm looking forward to my next.
The season is winding down, and only a few home regular season games remain.
Hopefully, Penn State Altoona will host home games during the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) playoffs.
Instead of topping off your gas tank, why not support the Lions and watch them fill it up?
