Giger: Lion humiliated, proving they're not a tourney team right now

That was brutal. Embarrassing. And revealing.

Penn State got clobbered Tuesday night at Rutgers in Piscataway, N.J., 65-45, and looked absolutely nothing like an NCAA Tournament caliber team.

The shooting was horrid. The Nittany Lions were 4 of 26 from 3-point territory, and a woeful 1 of 13 in the second half. They will never beat any team shooting like that.

Penn State's entire identity is as a shooting team. As with any such team, when shots go down, the Lions can beat anybody. But when they're living in Brick City, they just don't stand much of a chance.
