Our Barons dropped the season-opener 91-74 to Penn State Beaver. The score does not indicate a close game, but from here and here a different story is told. Apparently, the Barons jumped out to an 8-0 lead and eventually a 15 point lead. But by half-time the Nittany Lions trailed only by one point. Then in second half Tony "Showtime" Houghton put on a clinic and made some key plays to put the Barons to rest.
Last season the Barons defeated Penn State Beaver 77-75 when FUS won four of their last six game, so it is a shame that we lost. But I really wasn't expecting our young team to win their first road game this season.
Wednesday marks the home-opener for the Barons, they will open against the Penn State New Kensington Nittany Lions at 8:00 p.m. The Barons have had mixed results when playing the NK Lions. FUS has lost 74-61 (2.11.08 away), lost 79-64 (1.31.07 away) and won 63-45 (11.10.06 home) in the past two seasons. If the trends continue then FUS should blow out the Nittany Lions tomorrow. But I am not even going to worry about the history, I believe that our FUS Barons will ride the opening night success to a 1-1 record come Wednesday at 11:00.
