N.I.T. stands for nittany lions!! I knew we belonged in the NCAA. The experts say we have to play a better pre-conference schedule. They're correct. Bucknell is only X miles away and I never visited the campus! What does that tell you? Play Pitt, Villanova, and Syracuse. Forget Susquhana State and Slippery Rock. Let's go big-time, Penn State!!

if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to hear it? ;)

I'm happy for Penn State, but I will admit the officiating in the Notre Dame game in the semi-finals was highly questionable. They seemed to whistle a lot more fouls against the Irish and swallow their whistle for the Nittany Lions.

Penn St.- 65th best team in the country :D

As far as I know, there are only 3 men's b-ball teams that go into the next season with a winning streak. Penn State is one of them! :D

About the refs: I've never played in a basketball game that didn't have questionable calls.
About the forest: BOOM! I heard Irish hit the floor hard! :cool:

Oh ya, I forgot: PSU beat Michigan State in their own gym, not just their home state like the national champ Tar Heels. :p

You forgot Old Dominion, the 1st CIT champion.
Findlay, D-II mens champ
Washington U, D-III champ
Rocky Mt(Montana), NAIA D-I champ
Okla Weslyan, NAIA D-II champ
- so it's more like 8 teams....and they do count ;)

and NC beat Mich St twice this season in their home state by 35 and 17 pts, would their own gym have really made a difference?

You forgot all of the Junior College, High School, Elementary, and Boy's and Girl's Club teams. :D

OK now you're just being silly /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Penn St.- 65th best team in the country :D



Ahem, 66th best team in the country. The 65th best team got beat in a lonely gym in Dayton Ohio on a Tuesday night. :)

I was hoping my Aztecs would be it, but I have to settle for chanting "We're #69! We're #69!". Technically they're tied for 68th best, but since they played first that night an lost first, we can claim 69. :cool:
