A win and a tribute

Spiderman and Ketchup and Mustard were part of a strong student turnout last night at the Bryce Jordan Canter, as Penn State beat Virginia Tech in the ACC-Big Ten challenge.

It was a good win for the Nittany Lions, coming off the downer of the Old Spice Classic, and you have to think Mike Walker is now in the right spot coming off the bench and adding a spark.

Last night his shooting was the difference as Penn State, as Jeff Rice reports today.

Freshman Talor Battle's impressive driving layup in the last minute was a great sign for this team, which is improving and has a lot of potential.

Spiderman and Ketchup and Mustard seemed to enjoy themselves, and one of the best moments was when the students sitting near Spider stole the Papa John's pizza that was being delivered to him in the timeout feature.

Pretty cool stuff.

The tribute to Jeremy Herbstritt and victims of the shootings occurred just before the game and a remarkable $110,000 was presented from sale of the Virginia Tech memorial shirts downtown.

All in all it was a good win for the Nittany Lions and a good night for Happy Valley hoops fans.
