Sophomore asks off PSU team for personal reasons:
STATE COLLEGE – Seven years ago, a true freshman point guard was forced into starting action for Penn State. He shot 1-for-6 at VMI in a painful Nittany Lion loss.
He took the last shot of the game and missed it. But he wanted that shot. And it was obvious he wanted to be the leader.
He ended up OK. His name was Joe Crispin.
Last night, another true freshman was forced into the starting lineup for Penn State. He went 1-for-6.
But that one was a three and it was drained. It also turned out to be perhaps the biggest shot of the game in a Nittany Lion home win, 73-64 over Lehigh.
