It's hard to find the words. Because it was all just so incredibly difficult to believe it was really happening.

For a basketball program that has pretty much been an afterthought since the dawn of time, what we saw from Penn State late Thursday night was like some sort of dream.

It was, in all likelihood, the best game the Nittany Lions have EVER played, given the stage. That's no exaggeration, either.

Penn State clobbered Texas A&M, 76-59, in the first round of the Midwest Region in Des Moines, Iowa. The game wasn't even that close, as the 10th-seeded Lions led by as many as 26 points and dominated on both ends of the court against the 7th-seeded Aggies.
