Game Preview

Asked for a succinct summation of the confident rhythm that fueled his effort from 3-point range Thursday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, Penn State guard Andrew Funk delivered again.

“The rim opens up and you get a lot of confidence flowing,” Funk said after drilling 8 of 10 from deep to down Texas A&M in Des Moines. “Feels good.”

Replicating that shooting effort when the Nittany Lions meet second-seeded Texas during Saturday’s Midwest Region second-round game might not be so simple. Thanks to its depth, No. 10 Penn State feels confident just the same.
