“Penn State: Penn State makes this story, but with an asterisk. Like the other four schools, the Nittany Lions have suffered enormous attrition. Like the other four schools, the Nittany Lions haven’t won as much as they could have. Unlike the other four, though, Penn State will be better in the long run not in spite of — but because of — this strange season. In 2004-05, center Aaron Johnson was the Big Ten’s top rebounder and guard Marlon Smith was Penn State’s best talent, but they were me-first players whose offseason transfers cleared the way for sophomore scoring leader Geary Claxton and certain Big Ten Freshman of the Year Jamelle Cornley. That’s a good thing. The season-ending injuries to Danny Morrissey and Maxwell DuBois, and the season-crippling injury to Joonas Suotamo? Those were bad things. Morrissey (8.3 ppg, 37.5 percent on 3-pointers) was Penn State’s best shooter. DuBois was going to be a key reserve. And Suotamo, a hyped 6-10 freshman from Finland, has never been able to show his stuff after missing the first eight games with a broken foot. Penn State could have been much better than 13-11 overall and 5-8 in the Big Ten, but coach Ed DeChellis’ third season hasn’t been a funeral. It has been more like a birth.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
