For the first time since 2001, Penn State’s men’s basketball team won a game in the NCAA Tournament, and it left no doubt who the better team was in its return to the Big Dance.
Penn State was dialed in from 3-point range in a rout of Texas A&M in the first-round matchup in the Midwest Region. Penn State was led by a monster performance by Andrew Funk in the win and advances to the second round to face Big 12 champion Texas on Saturday.
Here are some of the best photos from Penn State’s big night to cap the first full day of the NCAA Tournament from Des Moines, Iowa, on Thursday night.
