Penn State beats Georgia Tech!

In basketball.  Seriously.  Penn State Men's Basketball beat Georgia Tech (at GT) last night in their installment of the "ACC Big Ten Challenge" - 85-83.  

The Lions had enjoyed a 10 point lead in the first half, but the Yellow Jackets battled back and stayed close for the rest of the contest.  PSU was able to stay ahead at the end, despite (continuing) poor free-throw shooting.  

Their field goal shooting, however was greatly improved (over what I saw in Philadelphia last week) - Stanley Pringle and Talor Battle lead the team in scoring - 

The Big Ten finished a respectable 5-6 in the challenge.
