Info about our Men's Basketball Program & Coach:

At Penn State Greater Allegheny, we had another amazing season in 2022-23. We captured the PSUAC Conference Championship in an 82-70 victory over Wilkes-Barre at the Bryce Jordan Center at Penn State University. Our team then headed to Virginia to compete for the Small College Men's Basketball National Championship, where we knocked off the defending National Champions before losing to this year's National Champion in a game that went down to the wire. We also played several NCAA D1 & D2 games this season. If your dream has always been to play D1, Penn State Greater Allegheny gives you a chance to play against NCAA D1 teams and win Championships on NCAA D1 Courts. This upcoming season, we are playing NCAA D1 Drexel University in Philadelphia on Friday, November 10 and then heading to Miami to take on 2 of the top NAIA programs in the country. We also have trips planned to New York, Ohio and hopefully Virginia. We expect to be one of Top 5 Ranked Small College Men's Basketball Programs in the country! Please join us for a home game and we will leave you tickets. Potential Recruits and their parents should text 412-400-1320 if you would like to come to a home game.
