Overmatched Lions fall to Badgers:
“Saturday night’s men’s basketball matchup at the Bryce Jordan Center had David and Goliath written all over it.
“In one corner was the powerful Wisconsin Badgers, featuring a veteran-laden lineup ranked 18th in the country.
“In the other corner was youthful Penn State, a struggling underdog if there ever was one, having lost 10 of its last 12 games.
“Only this time, there was one problem — David forgot to bring his slingshot.
“In what Penn State coach Ed DeChellis called one of his team’s worst performances on the court, the Badgers (14-4, 5-2 Big Ten) crushed the Nittany Lions (7-12, 1-6), 76-50.
“‘I told the team I think we picked a really, really bad night to play our worst game I think we’ve played in a long time,’ DeChellis said. ‘But that’s what we just did. … We really had no answers tonight. They beat us in every fashion.’ …”
