Some people say that Penn State did nothing but prove they can beat Ohio State.
1) Ohio State desperately didn't want to be swept, were juiced to play in MSG
2) Penn State had no Watkins
3) Penn State played the night before
This is a NCAA Tournament team. They were a young team that clearly got better and more confident as the year progressed, especially after Reaves came back.
Penn State would be favored in Vegas over teams getting at large bids.
The Northwestern win gets no credit at all, and I understand why. If Northwestern and St Bonaventure played on a neutral floor would St Bonaventure even be favored?
