Social media reacts to Penn State basketball’s road loss at Nebraska
It was another frustrating afternoon of Big Ten basketball for the Penn State faithful. The Nittany Lions lost their third straight game in yet another road loss for the program in a season that has been overflowing with road setbacks. Penn State lost to Nebraska 68-49 after plating without Kanye Clary and being outpaced after halftime by the Huskers.
As has become the norm for Penn State’s basketball fans, the frustrations of not seeing the program seemingly take a step forward continued with the latest loss, while some have held on to the belief that things will one day be better. The question is whether or not any success to be had down the line will be able to be sustained. For a program without back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances in program history, the fear is we are witnessing yet another rebuild that will eventually have to start over from scratch in a few years.
But negativity certainly has q way of bringing out the worst social media reactions. And, of course, it is easier than ever to share those reactions with the use of social media.
Here are how some people on Twitter were creating to the latest performance by the Nittany Lions.

Can you figure it out?
This basketball team is so so frustrating. Clearly, we have the talent to win games yet we come out and put on performances like today.

Let Mike Rhoades do his thing
Penn State basketball is just hard to watch sometimes, but I’m bought into Rhoades and what he’s doing.
I really thought this team wouldn’t win more than 4 games in the Big Ten.

Something to hope for in the future
One day Penn State basketball will give me something to root for once football season ends
