One thing that has become perfectly clear over the last two or three seasons is the fact that if you are looking for a Penn State basketball game on television, good luck, unless you get the local stuff out of State College. Didn't think so. Don't ask anyone around State College for an opinion unless they are ranked, unless there is some act of god from heaven and they get a coach who knows what he is doing, or unless it is a huge NIT match up with Siena, no one up there cares. And you can't throw that NIT junk at me and how the team went to the big dance in 1996, and how they've been to the NIT seemingly every year under the Jerry Dunn administration. I won't buy that.
Lets get back to the main question at hand though.
Well for starters, they threw the hammer down on Kentucky in the second game of the season. However, trust me when I tell you that if that game were played now, UK would make it short and as painless as possible. They followed that up with a no show versus a North Carolina State team that was missing two key parts. Crispin, the gunner that he is, shoots four of 23 and scores nine points, Nits loose 84-76. Back to reality.
