As our Ohio State friend, Dan Vest might say, it’s time for the Greatest Tourney In All the Land!
And this year’s Penn State team looks ready to take back the trophy it hasn’t lifted since the 2019 tournament. Relative to their success in the National Tourney, Penn State has (obnoxious sarcastic air quotes) struggled in the Big Ten Tourney. Whereas in the 11 National Tourneys Cael Sanderson has led Penn State into, the Lions have exited as team champion eight times for a 73% Championship Percentage, in the 12 B1G Tourneys, they have shockingly only walked away with six titles, for a measly, meager 50% Championship Percentage.
