Penn State looked fantastic in the first half Thursday afternoon, then nearly blew it in the second half against a Furman team that's better than most people realize.
But here's the thing: The Nittany Lions (4-0) didn't blow it. They found a way. And they made big shots.
That last part is the key for this team. This group of Lions already has proven this season that it can make a bunch of shots, particularly from 3, and if that continues, then Penn State will make the NCAA Tournament this season.
Whew. That's ... saying something.
