The No. 10 Lady Lions crushed Georgetown 97-74 behind a record-setting performance by junior guard Maggie Lucas. Lucas went on an absolute tear in the first, tallying 20 points in the first 10 minutes and 26 by the half. Her 39 points on the game broke the BJC's single-game scoring record by either a men's or women's player, and tied the third-best scoring performance by any Penn State basketball player in history.
The sixth-ranked Lady Lions were upset by Miami (FL) 69-65 in last night's ACC-Big Ten Challenge game. After trailing for the first 31 minutes, Penn State managed to battle its way back but could not pull out the victory in a game that was decided in the final seconds.
Though Tim Frazier is out for the season, his absence could end up being a good thing for the men's basketball program. This young team will have a year to develop on its own, and if Frazier returns, he'll return to a team even more promising than this year's. The future looks bright for Penn State basketball.
Playing in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off Tournament last night, Penn State Men's Basketball fell to No. 6 North Carolina State 72-55. Penn State guard Tim Frazier put up 23 points on 6-20 shooting -- incidentally surpassing the 1,000 career point mark in the process -- but the Nittany Lions were outgunned and outmatched against the Wolfpack, the tournament favorite and the highest-ranked team in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Last night, Penn State Men's Basketball (@PennStateMBB) overcame 17 turnovers and 21 missed three-point attempts on its way to a 65-58 season opener win over the St. Francis (PA) Red Flash. Suffice to say, this game wasn't pretty at all, but the Nittany Lions showed promise in a few key areas, especially in getting to the free throw line.
