If there was a true “Most Valuable Player” award in college 🏀, it would be Jalen Pickett. He does EVERYTHING for Penn State, can take this team places.

Michigan getting absolutely run by Penn State right now.
Wolverines have a lot of work to do to get in the NCAA tourney this season. Last year barely got in.
It’s also time to start seriously talking about Micah Shrewsberry as a legit candidate for Georgetown and/or Notre Dame.

Penn State is the type of team that could be a very difficult matchup if it reaches the NCAA Tournament.
Hybrid style with shooters everywhere.
13 made 3's today against Michigan. https://t.co/I17zDvAbOh
