Twenty-Six Point Five Percent
As my Grandpa used to say, "Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every once in awhile". Well finally last night the Penn State Nittany Lions Men's Basketball won their first Big Ten Conference game of the year with a stunning 81-70 victory over the mighty Northwestern Wildcats in Chicago, IL. The Nittany Lions now stand at 1-12 in Big Ten conference play and 9-16 overall for the season. Just a few more wins, this teams gets hot, wins the Big Ten Tournament and the NCAA bid everyone thought would happen this year is a reality. Congratulations to Coach Ed DeChellis. With this victory, he avoids the possible scenario of tying the 1981 Northwestern Wildcats who finished that season with an 0-18 Big Ten conference record. Also with this victory, Coach DeChellis is now 30-83 overall in Big Ten Conference play. A winning percentage of 26.5% against Big Ten conference foes (At least that beats 25.7%).

they're so bad that I don't even watch them anymore. Too bad Battle's talent is wasted on this crappy team.
ReplyDeleteI really don't understand PSU's thinking regarding the Men's basketball program. It makes no sense that this program is the joke that it is. If they go out and get a top notch wrestling coach I think they should demonstrate the same committment to the basketball program. If they keep Ed after this year it is just another sign that the University accepts this level as the status quo and will never want anything more.
