Soon enough, Penn State Basketball beating Maryland at home will simply be penciled in as a win. Until that time comes, the win will be looked at as the kind of “upset” that can define, and course correct, a team that did not look that good against arguably the best team in the country right now; the kind of win that serves as proof that last Saturday was indeed a blip in the radar, an outlier in an otherwise pretty good season to date.
Now comes an Alabama team that hasn’t really looked that good this season, already having four losses on the year, although three of them were to top 100 competition.
