Let’s play two …

#1. Penn State Basketball can rebound (yes, the Badgers out rebounded them 39-34 but Penn State got the ones that mattered).

#2.  Penn State Basketball was straight up better than Wisconsin (today).

#3.  John Harrar has a strong future overseas.

#4.  Penn State is WITHOUT a doubt the best sub .500 team in then nation.

At 6-7, Penn State will likely be in the “First Four” or “Next Four” out Sunday, when Joe Lunardi releases his next Bracketology update.

Penn State  Basketball will probably lose at Wisconsin on Tuesday at 7:00 pm. But, that’s plenty fine.  The Nittany Lions needed one of these three, and after losing a heartbreaker at Ohio State this was a very impressive bounce back game.

The Nittany Lions just beat a top-15 ranked team without shooting incredible (8-24 from 3).  That’s impressive.

You know what I’m going to say … #theclimbcontinues.
