Thoughts and odds and ends on Penn State ahead of tonight's NCAA Tournament opener against Texas A&M.

This isn’t a matter of taking the train to the Main Line in Philadelphia. The thought that Penn State fans wouldn’t revel in this fun on a regular basis, year after year, is ridiculous. They’ve won 8 of 10, the losses by 3 points to Rutgers and by 2 to Purdue. Six of the top 8 players in the rotation are seniors, and only Lundy has the option to return. Selling out the 15,261 seat BJC in not a necessity. That is to say, despite the reliance on 3s, this is not a finesse team. A spate of late turnovers cost the Lions all but 1 point of a 15-point advantage over Indiana in the final 2 minutes of their league semifinal. The Lions take (27.0/game, 13th) and make (10.4/game, 6th) a lot of 3s, college basketball’s great equalizer. Myles Dread, G, Sr.+ (6-4, 235): Since arriving at PSU in 2018 and leading the team in 3s as a freshman, Dread has brought toughness and tenacity on a consistent basis. Five of the top 8 players in the rotation are 1st-year Lions, 3 transfers and 2 freshmen. Has the option to return for a 5th season but probably won’t. Fans just getting acquainted with this team are having to make a quick study of 2nd-team All-American Jalen Pickett and his booty ball game, as well as the new and old key pieces surrounding him.

[ That caused the tip time for the matchup between No. We have you covered with the information below. 10 seed Penn State basketball returns to March Madness for the first time in a dozen years when it faces No. PSU-A&M is the last game of the day here.

Penn State basketball is in the NCAA tournament, yes. But behind the scenes they're playing for the future of the program. Find out more.

But support around the program is different than support from the university. Does giving resources to the basketball program take away from football? I don’t have time to focus on anything else but just being the best version for these guys. Despite that, the team went on a run that boosted morale around the program. But to start the conversation about where Penn State’s basketball program is going, we have to start with the game tonight. The road to this moment was as dramatic as you could imagine through the regular season.

Penn State was a slight underdog against Texas A&M, but they're coming off a very strong performance in the Big 10 Tournament.

The Penn State Nittany Lions rode strong performances from Jalen Pickett and Andrew Funk to defeat Texas A&M in the first round of the NCAA Basketball ...

Funk made 8 of 10 3-pointers and scored 27 points Thursday night in a 76-59 win over Texas A&M for the Nittany Lions' first NCAA Tournament victory in 22 years.

The Penn State Nittany Lions dominated the Texas A&M Aggies in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Thursday night in Des Moines, Iowa.

Penn State assistant coach Mike Farrelly gave the Aggies credit for sticking to their principles, and said he was proud of the Nittany Lions for executing at a high level. They don’t play like any other team in the country and they do it intelligently — spearheaded by a head coach that routinely outdoes his competitors in that regard. Next up is a matchup with the No. While those principles got them to the NCAA Tournament, they took them no further. ... It’s almost keeping (the team) even-keeled and in that possession. The Nittany Lions want to get Pickett isolated against the opponent’s smallest defender and they want him to go to work from there. Thursday night was the ideal example of that. “The decision is coming from a player and stereotypically speaking, that decision is coming in the middle of the floor,” Williams said in his postgame press conference. ... We just kind of stayed in the moment. Pickett was good as a scorer, finishing with 19 points, but really made the Aggies pay with his passing. Usually it’s by backing the defender down until he’s touching the paint, sometimes it’s by using half-spin moves and the occasional sudden first step to gain an advantage. Adam Fisher took a moment to think back through the game he just coached in as he stood in the Penn State locker room inside Wells Fargo Arena.

Andrew Funk had the shooting game of his career on Penn State's biggest stage in more than two decades. Funk made 8 of 10 3-pointers and scored 27 points ...
