Lions up at the half, look dominant

Found March 31, 2009 on Zombie Nation:
PLAYERS: Talor Battle
TEAMS: Notre Dame Fighting Irish,  Penn State Nittany Lions


◊ Penn State played a fantastic first half against Notre Dame in the NIT semifinal game tonight at Madison Square Garden. Even though the Lions got a bit sloppy during their runs, it was still about a 18-point margin most of the half. Talor Battle is having his way with the Irish defense, while Penn State's defense is doing just enough (also due to Notre Dame's horrid shooting percentage) to make this one a comfortable lead going into the second half.

Let's hope the Lions can keep their cool, and not let this one slip away.

Penn State survives, will play for NIT title

◊ I guess Penn State just wanted to make things interesting down the stretch. If so, the Lions succeeded, as Notre Dame was able to close a one-time 19-point deficit to four points with only a few minutes left. But, in true Penn State style, the Lions didn't roll over and die under the pressure. Jamelle Cornley, Talor Battle and David Jones weren't going to let that happen...

◊ There is a big game tonight. Sure, not big like what Michigan State is hyping up for; but it's big for Penn State. Remember this is a program that is historically terrible, with mediocrity being viewed as a major achievement. Here are a few links to get your blood going for tonight's game, some football links to note, and a link to the great new addition to Zombie Nation...
