It's Penn State! It's Minnesota! It's two Big Ten bottom-feeders whose lone conference wins have been of the WTF variety! PSU of course, had their 20-point shellacking of Purdue the other week, while Minnesota is coming fresh off a narrow upset at Indiana. By the end of today, one of these teams will have jumped up a notch in the Big Ten standings and carry a little momentum going forward.
If you haven't read Eric's awesome preview of this game, please do so. Otherwise, tip off is at 4:00 PM ET at the BJC and can be seen on TV via BTN. For those of you unable to watch, there's always Steve Jones and Dick Jerardi calling the action via the Penn State Sports Network (Sirius Ch 92, XM Ch 191, or one of these local affiliates).
Standard open thread rules apply: No porn, no racism/sexism/homophobia/trolling/death threats, and no links to illegal video streams of the game.

This is how we play...
we give them a 10 point lead to lull them into defeat!
DocPennState - January 15, 2012
Boy, we're great at losing basketball games.

Sigh
The terrible flagrant call against Marshall was huge, as was the bad call for an elbow on Glover that led to Minnesota runs. Enough to make a difference? I dunno.
Minnesota made a few ill advised shots and Penn State missed some shots they should have made. Minnesota won. This year stinks.

BTN shoulda had on the Lady Lions against Nebraska instead. LLs won.
