Big Ten Finals … vs. No. 1 seed Michigan

Penn State Basketball’s fifth game in five days…four straight ranked games and three straight vs top 1 or 2 NCAA Tournament seeds … Piece of cake.

BRING ON THE WOLVERINES …

Unless, maybe Ohio State or Purdue can pull off some upsets to make Penn State Basketball’s road a little more navigable.

In what seems like100 years ago (back in December), Penn State Basketball actually had Michigan beat in Ann Arbor, but three straight scoreless possessions late allowed Michigan to survive 62-58.

Getting revenge for this loss is the perfect way to culminate Penn State’s first B1G Tournament Championship and this time next week, we’ll be previewing the NCAA Tournament.

Okay, back to reality.

So, beating Nebraska-Wisconsin-Iowa-Illinois-Michigan consecutively is unlikely.  But hey, we’re just a simple 11-game winning streak away from Penn State Basketball being National Champs.  Easy as that.
