Lions spring upsetPatriot-News
Hubris can be funny:

STATE COLLEGE – A Lansing, Mich., TV personality named Hondo Carpenter took the Jordan Center court two hours before Michigan State’s game at Penn State and pre-taped his postgame opening. It went something like this:

“Welcome to the Northwestern of the East where, before 6,000 fans, the Spartans whipped Penn State.”

For the record, there was an announced crowd of 11,159 fans, some of whom rushed the court after Penn State won by nine. Final score: 85-76.

About once a year, Penn State shows signs of life and beats a men’s basketball good
team. That happened yesterday when Michigan State came to town.

Now build on it cagers! The season doesn’t have to be a total loss, you have a winning record and can still make the NIT.
