Of course, not everybody was particularly happy with the result of the game, as it served up a bad beat courtesy of the Youngstown State Penguins.

One fan thinks Penn State is not just going to the NCAA Tournament, but taking it all…
I’ve seen enough. @PennStateMBB is the best team in the country. Definitely going to the Natty

It’s weird seeing Penn State basketball extend leads late in games instead of holding on. This. This could be something

And, of course, one very important note. The Bryce Jordan Center is getting a Chickie’s & Pete’s. Crab fries in Happy Valley? Yes please!
Pretty soon, you'll be able to pair some crab fries with your Penn State basketball. https://t.co/OHqgySVjwe
