ALTOONA, Pa. -- Tomorrow marks the 32nd anniversary of the last time Penn State football beat the nation's No. 1 team -- a 24-21 victory over Notre Dame in South Bend.

That was Nov. 17, 1990 -- exactly 11,687 days ago.

Penn State has been playing men's basketball for 126 years -- since 1896 -- and has never beaten a No. 1 team. To be clear, there were no rankings until The Associated Press began releasing a poll in 1948.

Penn State began playing women's basketball in 1965 and was a perennial NCAA Tournament team from 1982-2014 and reached the Final Four in 2000.
