“We love being able to play in front of our Penn State alumni and fans in New York City and we’re looking forward to being part of this exciting slate of games,” said Penn State men’s basketball coach Patrick Chambers. We’ve been fortunate to have been invited to Basketball Hall of Fame events in previous years and every time we have a great experience.”

Penn State and Florida have met three times, last in 2009 with the Nittany Lions taking a 71-62 win in Gainesville en route to Madison Square Garden and their National Invitation Tournament title. Penn State is 2-1 against the Gators all time.

Ticket information, game times and television broadcast details will be released at a later date.

The Basketball Hall of Fame Invitational is one event in the Hall of Fame’s series of collegiate events, which continues to grow in an effort to celebrate the game outside the museum walls.
