“Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.”
-Thomas Carlyle, 19th-century Scottish philosopher
The past is a wasteland. The future is uncertain and a lot more ominous than it was a few weeks ago.
The Penn State men’s basketball present, however, is something to be savored.
The Nittany Lions, essentially left for dead after blowing a huge second-half lead in an eventual loss to Rutgers on Feb. 26, are firmly in the NCAA Tournament field for the first time since 2011 and will play Purdue on Sunday for the Big Ten Tournament title. That’s awesome in and of itself but what’s even better is that very few teams in the country are playing better ball (at least for stretches) than the Nittany Lions are at the moment.
What we’re seeing is a run like few Penn State teams have ever experienced, and Nittany Lion fans should soak it up for all it’s worth, for a few reasons.
