Michigan State Preview

Say what? An actual game preview? The FIRST of the new decade? Yeah, that’s right, I do what I want.
Actually, this isn’t even a preview of any kind. This is more of my general thoughts on tonight’s game. Check out KJ’s preview if you’re looking for numbers and matchups.
Penn State is playing against two top [...]

Michigan Preview

*My 21st birthday celebration was far more exciting than the drubbing UW put on PSU on Sunday, so apologies for the lack of a recap. It was your typical UW beatdown (just like the previous 10 beatdowns). I really couldn’t tell a difference between that game and last year’s 54-44 snoozer. No one had a [...]

Huge game for the Nittany Lions in the Jordan Center today against Bo’s Badgers. Ed DeChellis will be looking for his first career win against Bo (0-10). It is not going to come easy.
These games against the Badgers [...]

Minnesota Preview

Conference play starts tonight, and the Lions open up with no cakewalk. The Golden Gophers play defense, something many opponents in the OOC schedule could not. Will the Nittany Lions be able to handle it?
Minnesota’s [...]

UMBC Preview

No real preview tonight because 1 – UMBC hasn’t won a game, 2 – I’m not going to be able to watch the game, and 3 – I don’t want to, haha.
We got pregame links for you instead.

Temple Preview

Arguably the toughest game of the Lions’ non-conference schedule is the road trip to the Liacouras Center to face the Temple Owls today. The game tips off at 4 PM and will not be on television. You’ll have to try to catch the game on the radio or…GO! Like myself, who will be traveling with [...]

Virginia Preview

If you haven’t been paying attention, the Big Ten has had a horrible start to the season. Other than PSU’s struggles in the Charleston Classic, Michigan lost twice in the Old Spice Classic, Minnesota lost twice in the 76 classic, Michigan State lost to Florida, Indiana went 0-3 in Puerto Rico, and Illinois has lost [...]

Sacred Heart Preview

I’ve been enjoying break way too much and it has obviously cut into my blogging time. I apologize. I still will recap the Charleston Classic travesty. So all you people wondering what the hell happened, I’ll discuss it. But not until this weekend, most likely.
Penn State plays tonight against Sacred Heart at 6 PM on [...]

UNC-Wilmington Preview

So let’s try this again. The Nittany Lions today will actually try to take advantage of the benefits of playing in an exempt tournament this time of year. The last two were a disaster in their own right. The 2007 Old Spice Classic left PSU dejected and humbled after losing all 3 games. The 2008 [...]

Robert Morris Preview

The Robert Morris Colonials come to State College tonight for PSU’s second game of the season. The game’s scheduled to tipoff at 7:30 and will be streamed on BTN.com for $3.
You should know who the Colonials are. They won the NEC bid to the NCAA tournament last season and played a tough game against Michigan [...]
