BEAVER CANYON OF HEROES

For much of Tuesday night, Madison Square Garden, and the bars around it for that matter, felt more like a Penn State pep rally than the site of the N.I.T. semifinals. Talor Battle said it felt like a home game, and Ed DeChellis said that he hopes he'll get the same kind of support when Penn State takes on Baylor for the tournament championship on Thursday. Eddie and his team might get more than they bargained for from its rabid fanbase.

Playing its second game in New York City in three nights, the Lions will be greeted by thousands of Nittany Lion fans cheering their team on to the first post-season championship in program history. Leading the charge, as usual, are the students who's ticket demand has required 33 buses to be chartered from State College to Manhattan, 13 more than were used on Tuesday.
