Penn State vs. Canisius

Penn State basketball takes on Canisius tonight in what hopefully won't be an exciting match-up. The Canisius Golden Griffins are fresh off a blow out loss to Patriot League powerhouse Colgate. One player that could hurt the Lions is point guard Frank Turner. He was the 2007 MAAC rookie of the year and is a preseason 2nd team MAAC player this year. Another player with high expectations this year is forward Elton Frazier, whom the Sporting News picked to be this year's best MAAC n00b. Extremely large forward Rishawn Johnson, and guards Willie Hassell (no relation) and Jovan Robinson round out the Griffins' starting 5.

Against Colgate, Canisius' Pawel Malesa came off the bench to lead the Griffins with 16 points. He was 4/6 from long range, so watch out.

The Griffins start 3 guards, so it will be interesting to see if the Lions change their starting lineup. My vote is no, since Geary can play like a guard or a forward. The only question is whether DJ or Jeff Brooks will start in Cornely's spot.

That's it for now. Time to go to the game. BTW the Knicks are trying to end a 4 game losing streak, as they take on the Kings in California.
