Heading to Florida for some real spring weather (Collegian: Hardwood Hits)

Heading to Florida for some real spring weather

The Nittany Lions leave for sunny Florida tonight at 6, and I'll be following in the morning. Matt Brown here, getting ready to fly down to Florida to cover Tuesday night's NIT third-round showdown between Penn State and Florida in Gainesville.

I'm making the drive back home to Bucks County tonight and my flight leaves Philadelphia International Airport bright and early at 7:55 a.m. and should arrive in Orlando by 10:45. From there, it's about a 1 hour, 45 minute trip north to Gainesville and the University of Florida.

I'm hoping nothing too eventful happens in my trip, but I'll be posting regular updates on the Hardwood Hits Twitter, along with a live blog here of the game from press row at the O'Connell Center. Also be sure to check the Collegian for stories from the game Wednesday and Thursday.

AJ Cassavell is a junior majoring in journalism and is a men's basketball reporter for the Collegian. He is a former Collegian women's volleyball, softball, Lady Lions, men's soccer and men's gymnastics reporter. A 5-foot-7 center in Middle School, AJ at one point said he wished he was shorter so he could play guard. The gods blessed him, and by the time he reached his senior year of High School he had grown half an inch, making him just tall enough to see the floor for about ten minutes all season - as a point guard.

Stephen Hennessey is a junior majoring in journalism and is a men's basketball reporter for the Collegian. He is a former Collegian women's soccer, men's lacrosse, wrestling, field hockey and women's tennis writer. Steve used to idolize former Utah Utes and New Jersey Nets forward Keith Van Horn â€” he even wore high, white socks to his CYO basketball games and always demanded the number 44 for his jersey. He even scored a Van Horn autograph on the back of a Toys 'R Us catalog. No joke.

Andrew Robinson is a junior majoring in journalism and is a men's basketball reporter for the Collegian. He is a former women's soccer, women's rugby and men's swimming writer. A loyal supporter of Dwyane Wade, A-Rob can often be spotted wearing his red, white or black number 3 Heat jersey with basketball shorts, even in the dead of winter. He will, however, respect press etiquette and wear khakis and dress shirts to Nittany Lion games.
