In the championship game of the Legends Classic at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. Coverage is on ESPN2:https://www.foxsports.com/college-b...enn-state-square-off-for-legends-title-112117
This should be a great test for Penn State, and hopefully they can hold their own. Texas A&M has a very good team, ranked 16th, I think but a top ten team (#6 as of last nights games) in the KenPom/Pomeroy analytics. Penn State is ranked 37th, in the KenPom/Pomeroy analytics, which is pretty good for us: https://kenpom.com/
Just playing Texas A&M will be a boost to our SOS and RPI, but I think we will need to play well and finish in the top half of the Big Ten in order to get into the NCAA tournament. This is within the teams grasp. They have a core of legitimate talent, greater than Penn State has EVER had, and a depth to go along with it. Their offense may be streaky this year, but their defense will be there for every game, home or away. There are so many reasons to be bullish about this team. I hope everyone can support the team and enjoy the ride this season. I think it will end with a return to the post season.
