The glorious ride came to an end Saturday night against the Texas Longhorns but not before the Nittany Lions left it all out there on the court. Evan and Steve break down an ultimately winnable game that couldn't overcome one too many errors down the stretch. 

We also set the Penn State season in a broader historical context and compare it to the "Blue Bloods" of college basketball.

Evan and Steve do a quick recap of Penn State's second round BTT win over Illinois and answer the question Will Penn State reach the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2011? (Spoiler alert: Yes)

Before Selection Sunday they still have more basketball to play, however, and we'll pick the quarterfinal matchup vs Northwestern. We'll return Friday night with a fresh new episode!

What a Sunday! What a Senior Day at the BJC! Penn State caps off the regular season with a  buzzer-beating win over Maryland and now prepares for the Big Ten Tournament. Evan and Steve go over the Senior Day performance and preview the entire Big Ten Tournament game by game (including some disagreements). Finally, we set the stage for Selection Sunday and make the case for Penn State to polish their dancing shoes. 

We'll return with a special mid-week episode following the Illinois matchup Thursday night.

Well...that was less than ideal. Penn State blows a 19 point second half lead at home against Rutgers to go to 8-10 in conference and enter an absolutely must win week ahead to close the regular season and get themselves back into the NCAA tournament picture. Evan and Steve express their dismay and try to give you some reason to hope as March beckons.
