Lions snap losing streak<\/b><\/a> – The Collegian<\/i>
It took 13 tries, but Penn State’s men’s basketball team finally got a Big Ten win. They upset Northwestern 81-70 in Evanston, Ill. last night. Northwestern can’t be too happy with themselves since they are on the bubble for their first NCAA tournament bid — yes there is a Big Ten team with less basketball pedigree than Penn State.<\/p>\n

Now that the streak is over, maybe the Nittany Lions can get a couple more wins before ending this lost season.<\/p>\n

By the way, Run Up the Score’s recent Black Shoe Diaries<\/span><\/a> post about why Intercollegiate Athletics doesn’t care about men’s basketball is a must-read for Penn Staters.<\/p>\n

Wizards beat Minnesota after trading Jamison to Cleveland<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
It was just a miracle night for basketball teams I sort of follow — the Washington Wizards, completely depleted of their former All-Stars, beat the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Wiz have traded away Caron Butler<\/span>, Brendan Haywood<\/span> and Antawn Jamison<\/span> this month for basically nothing more than salary cap relief. The most interesting thing is that there is only active player on the roster from 2006-2007 season. Gilbert Arenas<\/span> of course, is suspended and technically, could rejoin the team.<\/p>\n

Let’s see, Ted Leonsis<\/span> is poised (we hope) to own a team completely gutted of stars — haven’t we been through this before?<\/p>\n
