Less than two weeks ago, Nittany Nation was on top of the world after knocking off the No. 8 Ohio State Buckeyes at the Bryce Jordan Center, 79-59.
The students flooded the court and sang the alma mater in a packed house, as everyone in attendance couldn’t believe what was actually happening: A Penn State basketball team finally had a chance to reach their first NCAA Tournament since 2011.
While everyone was ecstatic about the team’s success, everyone knew the tough road ahead: at Purdue, vs Michigan and at Nebraska.
A close loss to Purdue didn’t hurt Penn State, but a loss at home to Michigan did.
