Penn State vs. #10 Michigan State

The Penn State faithful, known for their longstanding football tradition would’ve made Joe Pa proud to be a Nittany Lion fan tonight. It was an odd occurrence… Penn State actually had fans at a basketball game. Unlike the other week when the Penn State student section had a grand total of three students in attendance at their win over than #14 Purdue, the faithful brought the white-out to the Bryce Jordan Center. Michigan State led much of the game by 15+ points when Penn State got hot with just under 10 minutes left. When Penn State brought it within one point with under a minute left, the entire student section erupted. It reminded me of Rick Vaughn coming out in the 9^th inning to close out the New York Yankees in Major League. They would come up short in the end losing 78-73, but it was nice to see a Big 10 school with so much pride come out of hibernation during the winter. Penn State’s Big Three- Jamelle Cornley, Talor Battle, and Skip Pringle combined for 54 of Penn State’s 73 points in an honest effort against the Big 10 favorite Michigan State Spartans.
