Centre Daily Times | 12/09/2004 | Luber resumes practice, likely to play Saturday:
“For 25 of the 33 games he has coached at Penn State, Ed DeChellis has had one scholarship point guard available. All 25 times, that point guard has been a true freshman.
“In his 34th game, DeChellis will have at his disposal what to him might seem a luxury — two point guards.
“Ben Luber participated in his first full practice with the Nittany Lions in nearly three weeks on Wednesday, and both he and DeChellis expect Luber will play when Penn State hosts No. 11 Pittsburgh on Saturday.
” ‘Throughout the past week I’ve been feeling a lot happier just playing basketball,’ said Luber, who had been on the Nittany Lions’ inactive roster since Nov. 19 for personal reasons. ‘And something inside me just told me that I needed to be back out here. That’s what I wanted to do.’
“The 6-foot, 178-pound sophomore from Richboro once again declined to get into the reasons for his absence, but his return should provide a boost to a very young Penn State backcourt that has played a lot of minutes in the early part of the season.”
