PSU ill-equipped for overdue visit to Rutgers<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“For the Penn State Nittany Lions, it’s time to revisit an old memory.<\/p>\n

“To be more precise, no one on the current team except for deep subs Dan Adler and John Kelly, and senior bit player Jamaal Tate — all New Jersey natives — probably knows anything about the Rutgers Athletic Center.<\/p>\n

“Nor do any of the PSU assistant coaches.<\/p>\n

“But Ed DeChellis remembers. The PSU head coach was a young assistant under Bruce Parkhill when the Lions last set foot in the RAC — Feb. 27, 1991.<\/p>\n

“It was the Lions’ last regular-season game in the Atlantic 10. No one had much of an inkling the Nits would two weeks later be A-10 tournament champions and headed to their first NCAA tournament in 26 years.

And certainly no one was dreaming such dreams that night. The Lions were drilled 92-70, their worst loss in a 98-game stretch of success from 1989-93.<\/p>\n

“This was the last really good team to play at Rutgers — incredibly, the last group of Scarlet Knights to play in the NCAAs. It got so bad that night that big point guard Earl Duncan, a Syracuse transfer noted for his mouth, began talking to Parkhill as he dribbled by — ‘Coach, get someone out here who can guard me!’ “<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
