A valiant effort in a tough environment fell short in the end as the Penn State Men's Basketball team lost its Big Ten opener to Wisconsin 60-51.
The Penn State men’s basketball team has won four straight contests and appears to have finally found confidence on offense in the absence of All-Big Ten guard Tim Frazier. Over the course of the winning streak-- which includes home wins over Army, Delaware State, New Hampshire, and Duquesne-- the Nittany Lions have averaged 78.5 points per game. The Lions (8-4) will look to continue their success on offense as they enter Big Ten play tonight on the road against the Wisconsin Badgers (9-4) at 8:30 p.m. on the Big Ten Network.
The cover photo for the legendary EA Sports video game series NCAA Football is always a popular topic. Previous covers include Robert Griffin III, Tim Tebow, Reggie Bush, and even Mark Sanchez (lol).

Penn State finished out its non-conference slate with an impressive offensive performance as ten Nittany Lions scored in an 84-74 victory over Duquesne at the Bryce Jordan Center. D.J.
