When the Wildcats blew out the then-No. 22 Texas Longhorns in Brooklyn.

(I was in attendance for that one.)

I’m sure there are any number of additional superlatives about this win.

But most importantly, just a massive shot of confidence for this young team as the season winds down. They know they’ve got it in them to beat any team on any given night. Now it’s about seeing what happens in the BTT, then hit the off-season with urgency.

Proud of the guys. Go Cats.

And that Texas team was clearly overranked. This PSU team was legit.

Yeah I thought that too. Was thinking about going back and seeing how long it’s been since NU beat a team that ended the season ranked by double digits (though PSU might not be ranked next week).

PSU is in a real free fall. But two weeks ago I didn't think we would win another game, so I'll take winning two of the last three.

I was there for that one. I was there for this. Clearly, it's me.*

*If you ignore many of the 70 or so in between.

Small measure of revenge for all of the times we lost to crappy Ed Debevic teams

I'll second taking the wing. OSU was in free fall. Minny was in free fall. At least this time we took advantage.

yes it was intentional disrespect. Mostly inferior teams but he sure had NU's #

He often threw an effective zone against our teams with poor outside shooters. Coaches like Alford wanted to stick with a more manly man-to man, and paid the price more often than DeChellis did.

And those Penn State teams really banged the offensive glass against our 1-3-1 zone and pushed us around down low, too. They negated any finesse that we had with how they played us on both sides. They took advantage of having better athletes and playing hard.
