“To Odin many a soul was driven, to Odin many a rich gift given.”
- Snori Sturluson, the Prose Edda
For 40 minutes, the Northern Kentucky Norse and the Youngstown State Penguins battled in Joe Louis Arena. The Norse won because they are a superior basketball team and descendants of Vikings rather than penguins. They also won because they are a vastly superior basketball team. Northern Kentucky took a 15-point lead into halftime and got 26 points and nine boards from Drew McDonald. The fun run of PENGUIN SZN is now over, squashed beneath a giant Norse longboat.
