Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, December 13, 2009

TCU wasn't the only underdog (or under-frog, or under-lion) to beat a highly regarded team Saturday: in Happy Valley, Penn State took down Pitt, giving the Panthers their first loss this year.

PSU's 2000 Final Four team was in the house as Meredith Monroe's last-second shot sealed the four-point win. "I was like, 'Wouldn't this be neat if I made it?'" she said.

Penn State's student paper has more, though it's understandably focused on PSU volleyball.

If you've followed this sport for more than, oh, three years, you might remember when Penn State was hard to beat, and Pitt an easy win, at least for major-conference teams.
