NOTE: We have to give mad props to the Penn State Nittany Lions for ending a 13-game losing streak, the longest current in NCAA Division 1 and the second longest in team history, with a 74-72 upsest of Iowa.
The victory doubles the Lions' win total to 2 Big Ten games and should help ensure head coach Ed DeChellis another two year extension to his contract. Congratulations ED !!!!
