Penn State Hoops Fans Want A Jon Rothstein Slogan

Penn State basketball is finally a basketball school and being treated as such.

After the Nittany Lions pulled out their fifth-straight with a huge road win over Michigan State on Tuesday night, plenty of national analysts gave Pat Chambers and Co. some love on social media.

However, one analyst in particular is stanning the Nittany Lions extra hard this season: CBS Insider Jon “This is March” Rothstein.

Pat Chambers doesn't have a team that can make the NCAA Tournament.

Dear Penn State,

On the heels of your breakthrough season in men's basketball, please consider offering students free ice cream from your world famous creamery after each Nittany Lions' home win.

The buzz around your program would become even more palpable.

Sincerely,

America

A dream season is unfolding for Pat Chambers and Penn State.

Nittany Lions improve to 12-2 overall after a hard fought win over Iowa at the Palestra.

One of the best teams in the Big Ten.

The attention the team has drawn from Rothstein this season has left plenty of fans waiting for the Nittany Lions to receive their own slogan a la “Steve Pikiell. Pounding Nails.” and “Xavier Basketball. Hell in a Cell.”

Hey @JonRothstein when does Pat Chambers get a saying?

When do we get a Rothstein-ism? #ClimbWithUs

Can you give us a slogan so we can buy T-Shirts?

But a few fans have some suggestions for Rothstein.

Pat Chambers: Tougher on the road than a chain of tires. @JonRothstein

Pat Chambers. Climbing Mount Everest.#ClimbWithUs #WeAre #PSUHoops?

And so we wait for the ultimate sign that you’ve made it as a basketball school.
