PSU

Penn State University is pretty well known in the NCAA for its football program but in the past few years they have been getting better and better on the basketball court.  This year has been one of the best for the Nittany Lions mens basketball squad.  They completed a few decently big upsets during the regular season and are now making a run in the Big Ten Championship Tournament.  In the past few days PSU has beaten conference opponents Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan State. Tomorrow the team is in the championship game of the tournament against top ranked Ohio State.  It is certainly a big task but I am hoping that Penn State can feed off the momentum from this tournament run and earn the Big Ten Championship and a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

Miami Heat

After all the big trades made in Miami this NBA offseason everyone was expecting them to come out and dominate. Unfortunately for the big three that is not what has happened. The Heat have come out strong and they have a great record so far but if you look at it closely they haven't consistently beaten any teams with a record above .500.  Just this week the Heat took a few close losses in big time games against the Knicks and Magic. With so many good players on their side it doesn't seem like they know which one to choose to take that final buzzer beater to win the game. They have tried multiple different options but have not had good luck. I personally hope the Heat can figure this problem out and make a big playoff run because they are easily among the most entertaining teams to watch in all of sports.
