Penn State Rises to No. 20 in AP Poll

On the up and up!

The latest AP Poll was released today and Penn State basketball moved up three spots from No. 23 to No. 23.

This comes after a week where the Nittany Lions played just one game, demolishing lowly Central Connecticut State 87-58.

The ranking marks the highest that Penn State has been since the finish of the 1995-96 season when the Nittany Lions checked in at No. 18.

The focus now moves forward to a game on Sunday against Cornell, which sports a 1-9 record overall. Assuming Penn State avoids a complete and utter meltdown against the Big Red, there’s a solid chance it moves up again with the way teams in from of the Nittany Lions have dropped in recent weeks.
