ALTOONA, Pa. -- Goodness. That was awful. There's just no sugarcoating Penn State's 81-56 loss at UMass on Monday in the first road game of the Micah Shrewsberry era.
There's very little about this game that Shrewsberry will ever want to remember.
UMass was picked to finish ninth in the Atlantic 10. Its best player is Trent Buttrick, who spent four seasons at Penn State and never averaged more than 3.0 points per game. He transferred after last season.
And yet, the Minutemen humiliated Penn State in such a manner that there's really only one takeaway from this game.
