It looks like Penn State men’s basketball finally got some recognition in front of a big TV audience over the weekend.
The Nittany Lions’ February 2, 2014 matchup with Purdue was featured on the latest episode of HBO’s “Mare of Easttown” Sunday night. In the episode, a group of people is gathered around the TV drinking beers, eating pizza, and, of course, watching Penn State basketball.
Brief snippets of the game first appear around the 10-minute mark of the newest episode, “Illusions,” which is the fifth in the series.
