‘Most Penn State Basketball Thing Ever’: Fans React To March Madness Closure
It was just too good to be true, wasn’t it?
With Penn State on the verge of making it to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2011, the coronavirus played spoiler worse than any bracket-busting 12-seed. On Wednesday, shortly after Penn State announced classes would take place remotely for at least the next three weeks, the NCAA announced it was going to hold all upcoming championship events without fans present, ending many fans’ hopes of seeing their team play in person in March for the first time since Joe Paterno was the head football coach.
Understandably, many fans were pretty upset over the NCAA’s decision. However, like any true Penn State basketball fan, there was somewhat of an understanding over how inevitable this latest h moment truly was.
However, even with the disappointment, you can still choose to be a a glass half-full kind of guy.
Calling it now, Penn State basketball to win it all. We’ve been playing in empty arenas for YEARS. National Championship HERE WE COME
