Penn State falls to Temple, 66-64

The Penn State Nittany Lions came up just short in the final moments in a 66-64 loss to the Temple Owls.

Talor Battle hit a huge three-point shot to tie the game in the final moments, but Temple wasn’t to be denied.

The Nittany Lions watched in horror as Juan Fernandez hit an awkward, leaning jump shot with less than a second to play.

Battle finished with 23 points to lead the Nittany Lions, but it was a sad way for his college career to come to an end. ( Read More…)

Penn State falls to Ohio State, 70-61

The Penn State Nittany Lions fell short in the Big Ten championship game in a 70-61 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Talor Battle lead the way with 24 points, five rebounds and two assists but didn’t get much help from his backcourt mate.

The good news for Penn State is that their Big Ten tournament run was enough to get them into the NCAA tournament.

The Nittany Lions were given a No. 10 seed and a tough first-round matchup against the Temple Owls. ( Read More…)

Penn State shocks Wisconsin, 36-33

The Penn State Nittany Lions picked up a huge win with a 36-33 victory over the Wisconsin Badgers in the quarterfinals of the Big 10 tournament.

Penn State has been on the outside looking in as far as the NCAA tournament is concerned, but the victory puts them right in the middle of the conversation.

This game quite possibly set basketball back about 30 years and lead many to joke, “when does the second half start?”

The Nittany Lions took a 20-16 lead into halftime and managed to hold on for the win. They did not get any points from their bench players. ( Read More…)

Penn State slowed by Florida, 37-24

The Penn State Nittany Lions couldn’t overcome turnovers in a 37-24 loss to the Florida Gators in the Outback Bowl.

Penn State was trailing by six points in the final minute and driving down the field for the game-winning score when a pass was intercepted and returned for a touchdown.

It was an ugly day for quarterback Matt McGloin, who tossed five interceptions but still didn’t get pulled from the game.

He did throw for 211 yards and a touchdown, but the team might have been better off turning to former starter Robert Bolden. ( Read More…)

Penn State QB Bolden to transfer

He started eight games for the Nittany Lions this year and was the first true freshman to ever start a season opener at Penn State.

Head coach Joe Paterno said he wished he could find more playing time for the quarterback after the team’s loss to Florida in the Outback Bowl. ( Read More…)

Paterno has no health concerns

The family of Penn State Nittany Lions head coach Joe Paterno said that rumors about health issues are completely lies and simply not true.

The rumors allege that Paterno is suffering from some health issues and that he would step down after the team’s matchup against Florida in the Outback Bowl.

Paterno’s wife said that the head coach is supposedly in the hospital when in actuality he is sitting at their dinner table.

The head coach is set to wrap up his 45th season with Penn State and plans to coach through next year, the final one on his contract. ( Read More…)

Paterno to coach in 2011

Penn State Nittany Lions head coach Joe Paterno said that he plans on returning for the 2011 season.

The soon to be 84-year old head coach will be in his 46th season with the Nittany Lions and has 401 career wins.

He is excited about the prospects of next year’s team considering how young they were this season.

It seems that as long as Paterno is coaching a winner, the school won’t push him to retire or not bring him back. ( Read More…)
