Last night, Jon and I, along with some friends, travelled up to the bustling city of New York to watch our beloved Lions battle the Fighting Irish in the NIT Final Four at Madison Square Garden. Not having gone to any of the regular season games this season, we joked about how of all the games to see, this was a good one. The Lions looked good-especially in the first half where they out rebounded, out ran, and outscored the Irish. The second half, although not quite as "suave", still stayed in Penn State's favor. The game ended closer than us Blue and White bleeders would have liked, with a score of 67-59, but hey-it's a "W" and that's all the matters, right?
The crowd was, without a doubt, Penn State proud, making it feel much like a home game. It was exhilarating to be hanging out in a huge venue like Madison Square Garden, but be feeling nothing but Penn State love. Even JoePa made the trip to NYC-and he was feeling the love too as his face shown on the big screen numerous times, each time the arena ROARING with applause.
It was a great experience and although I am EXHAUSTED today, it was all worth it. Next up for the Lions-NIT final game vs. Baylor-Thursday 4/2- 7:00 pm.
WE ARE....PENN STATE!!
