Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, December 31, 2004

Big Ten action got underway last night.

In the best matchup of the night, Penn State knocked off #7 Ohio State. Tanisha Wright and Jen Harris had 22 each.

"We didn't move the ball," said Ohio State coach Jim Foster. "We are a team that reverses the ball and we just didn't reverse it. We were standing still too much.

You could call it an upset, but given the Lions' amazing conference record at home, no one should be too surprised. In its last 32 Big Ten games at the Jordan Center, Penn State is 31-1.

"We always remind them of that," coach Rene Portland said. "In the Big Ten, it's important to win at home and steal on the road."
