Just when you thought you were out...Penn State basketball pulled you back in with their impressive win over Illinois, which got them back on the radar of the Internet’s bracketologists. Now, they had to follow that up in an absolute must-win game at Minnesota, a team that had been struggling the entire Big Ten slate, with only one conference win and sitting squarely in the basement of the conference.
Unfortunately, this same Minnesota team just happened to be returning a key missing piece to their offensive puzzle, in 6’11” big man Dawson Garcia, the team’s leading scorer at nearly 15 points and six rebounds per game, and we all know how much of an adventure this team has had handling opposing big men this season.
