Game 6 predictions by the basketball players

We just came back from basketball practice at the B.J.C and decided to ask the team what their predictions are for Game 6 of the World Series tonight.

Here's how Penn State's basketball players feel:

Junior Jeff Brooks:

I don't really like baseball but I'm going with the Yankees in the Bronx

Junior Andrew Jones:

I gotta go with the Phillies, man. I mean, come on. I'm from Philly.

Junior Talor Battle:

I'm a Mets fan, so I hate the Phillies. And I hate the Yankees. But I'm New York, so, I'll go Yankees.

Sophomore Chris Babb:

I just want the Yankees to win because everyone here likes the Phillies.

Junior Andrew Ott:

Phillies

Junior Steve Kirkpatrick:

Phillies, 5-3. Cliff Lee is going to pitch Game 7 and they're going to take it 3-1.
TDC: You a Phillies fan?
SK: Nah, I just don't like the Yankees.

Freshman Jermaine Marshall:

Yankees, 4-2

Redshirt freshman Billy Oliver:

Well, I'm a Mets fan.

TDC: So the question is, are you more anti-Yankees or anti-Phillies?

I'm definitely more anti-Phillies. I'm a New York fan first. So Yankees, 5-3.

Freshman Sasa Borovnjak:

I just started to follow, but I'm going for the Yankees, 8-5

Freshman walk-on Joe Silko:

Yankees will win. I think it'll be close, I think Pedro will pitch well for the Phillies. I want the Phillies to win, but I think it'll be the Yankees, 5-3.

Coach Ed DeChellis:

I'm pulling for the Phillies.

The Roster

Mug

AJ Cassavell is a junior majoring in journalism and is a men's basketball reporter for the Collegian. He is a former Collegian women's volleyball, softball, Lady Lions, men's soccer and men's gymnastics reporter. A 5-foot-7 center in Middle School, AJ at one point said he wished he was shorter so he could play guard. The gods blessed him, and by the time he reached his senior year of High School he had grown half an inch, making him just tall enough to see the floor for about ten minutes all season - as a point guard.


Mug

Stephen Hennessey is a junior majoring in journalism and is a men's basketball reporter for the Collegian. He is a former Collegian women's soccer, men's lacrosse, wrestling, field hockey and women's tennis writer. Steve used to idolize former Utah Utes and New Jersey Nets forward Keith Van Horn — he even wore high, white socks to his CYO basketball games and always demanded the number 44 for his jersey. He even scored a Van Horn autograph on the back of a Toys 'R Us catalog. No joke.


Mug

Andrew Robinson is a junior majoring in journalism and is a men's basketball reporter for the Collegian. He is a former women's soccer, women's rugby and men's swimming writer. A loyal supporter of Dwyane Wade, A-Rob can often be spotted wearing his red, white or black number 3 Heat jersey with basketball shorts, even in the dead of winter. He will, however, respect press etiquette and wear khakis and dress shirts to Nittany Lion games.
