Penn State in the NIT Final Four!

Chomp chomp chomp! Penn State beat the top-seeded Florida Gators 71-62 tonight on the road in Gainesville to earn a trip to the NIT Final Four at Madison Square Garden in New York City next week! With NYC only being a four-hour drive from State College, I’ll at least have to consider taking a little trip over there, especially if we make the final. I probably won’t end up going, but hey, it’s an intriguing possibility! And another bonus about tonight’s game? Penn State was able to do something Ohio $tate hasn’t been able to do — beat Florida in athletics! Ba-dum-ching! In all seriousness though, this team has really been playing quite well lately. Jamelle Cornley was unstoppable tonight with his “robotic arm” (his shoulder and arm were heavily taped), scoring 23 pts and pulling down 12 boards, he was a monster inside tonight. I think the Nittany Lions are sure proving that they were good enough to get into the NCAA Tournament, so while it’s too bad they were snubbed, at least they’re on a mission here in the NIT, and are now headed for the Big Apple!
WE ARE… PENN STATE!!
