RHOADES NOT GETTING WHAT HE NEEDS TO WIN AT PENN STATE

  In no particular order … one more time … Boy, did coach  MIKE RHOADES ’ Penn State basketball  team look terrible for a half Monday night at Ohio State.  Hardly resembling his previous entries at Randolph-Macon,  Rice and VCU, the Nittany Lions didn’t show much interest  in playing defense. With the ball, they weren’t much better,  if at all. Midway the middle-of-the-pack Buckeyes led 50-32, hitting  6 of 11 three-point attempts and 67.1 percent overall. It had  been too easy for the home team … which allowed Penn  State back in the game, cutting the deficit to one (60-59)  with 10:38 to go. But OSU point guard  JOHN MOBLEY JR ., who had 13  points in the first half, finally scratched in the second with a  pair of free throws then hit a long three followed by a layup.  He finished with a game-high 25 points … and Penn State  remained winless (now 0-9) in the Big 10 (9-11 overall).

FOX ANALYST SAYS CIGNETTI DID BEST COACHING JOB HE EVER SAW

  Before you think  JOEL KLATT  has spent too much  (air)time with  GUS JOHNSON  … which helps to  explain a seemingly over-zealous take (that follows) on  Indiana U., winning its first football championship … be  advised the Fox analyst might not be far from the truth. “ This is the best thing that’s happened to college football  in a long time. This could be the most consequential  national champion in my lifetime,” said Klatt, 43, on   COLIN COWHERD’s  “The Herd” Monday.  “ What it has led to is a golden age of college football. The  product has never beem better. There’s never been more  parity. It’s remarkable … it’s profound … and only  history will look back on this with the size and  momentum it deserves.  “ I cannot remember a time in college football when we  needed this more.
