Heading into the series with Rhode Island last weekend, the Penn State Icers knew that they needed at least one win over Rhode Island to remain in the playoff hunt. The Icers did slightly better than that by winning one game and losing the other in a shoot-out.
The Penn State Interfraternity Council released a YouTube video tonight that features student leaders explaining how Greeks "hold themselves to a higher standard than the rest of the students at Penn State." At least, that's how IFC President Dan Florencio describes the Greek community in the opening interview.
On Super Sunday, Penn State needed a win against Michigan to maintain a strong resume for a NCAA Tournament bid. But after a 65-62 loss to the Wolverines, it looks like their Selection Sunday will not be much better.
Head coach Scott Balboni, forward Tim O'Brien and forward Eric Steinour all represented the Penn State Icers at the 2011 World University Games. Balboni served as assistant coach, while O'Brien scored three times for the United States in the tournament. USA placed sixth, which is the best result for the United States since the team began to use ACHA players.

UPDATE: We've just received word that Mezzanine management and the landlord have resolved their disagreement and the club will be open for business tonight.
At least temporarily. Onward State has received information from multiple sources close to the situation stating that, due to a difference of opinion between the landlord (the Herlocher Mustard Family) and the Mezzanine management, the popular club has been shut down for the time being. Our sources tell us that the liquor license for the Mezzanine is owned by the landlord, and the occupants of the property are given access to the license. Apparently, the Herlocher family became concerned about the safety of the license, in regards to compliance with the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. In an attempt to ensure the status of the license, the Herlochers asked for the Mezzanine to be closed temporarily while management reevaluates its policies.
