Your Official Penn State-Texas Drinking Game
The journey continues.
No. 10-seeded Penn State men’s basketball is ~dancing on~ in Des Moines, Iowa, and will compete against No. 2-seeded Texas in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday, March 18.
Of course, a 7:45 p.m. ET tip-off is the ideal time to turn up and cheer on the Nittany Lions. Grab a six-pack and follow along with Onward State’s official Penn State-Texas drinking game.
- Crack open a cold one to celebrate Penn State’s first NCAA Tournament victory in 22 years. Chug if you weren’t even alive yet.
- Take a long swig at tip-off. There’s a long road ahead tonight.
- Drink if Kebba Njie scores Penn State’s first points.
- Take a sip if you know which city in Texas the Longhorns are from.
- Drink for three when Andrew Funk sinks his first triple.
- Drink if the announcers say Penn State is ~hot.~
- Chug for 10 if Sir’Jabari Rice hits double digits in the first half.
- If Marcus Carr is guarding Jalen Pickett, take a sip. It might be a long night for the All-American.
- Drink if the Longhorns are winning the turnover battle at the half.
- Crack open another bev if the Nittany Lions are leading at the end of the half.
- Buckle up, folks. Shots all around if Texas is winning instead.
- If you see a Texas fan flash the “Hook ’em Horns” hand gesture, take a sip.
- Finish your drink if a Penn State player displays the “Horns Down” gesture.
- Drink for Kanye Clary’s first points of the night. Let Yeezy cook.
- Take a sip if the announcers bring up Micah Shrewsberry’s looming contract extension. Then, say a prayer.
- Crack open a cold one if Pat Kraft teleported from Tulsa to Des Moines in one day.
- Crack another if President Neeli Bendapudi is in attendance.
- Drink if you see a cowboy hat.
- Finish your drink if the Nittany Lions’ rebound game is tough to watch.
- Take a sip every time you check how Penn State wrestling is doing in the National Championships finals. Basketball School. Wrestling School. Everything School.
- Drink if Seth Lundy hits double digits.
- Take two shots if Texas has to foul Penn State late.
- Crack open a celebratory beer if the Nittany Lions move on. See y’all at Beaver Canyon.
- Sip on a final drink if the Longhorns finish Penn State. It’s been a good run.
As always, have fun, stay safe, and drink responsibly.
