So the University of Maryland's mens basketball schlepped up to Happy Valley over the weekend where they ended up beating the Nittany Lions 76-73 in what Deadspin described as "a hard-fought game that went down to the wire."

But the real action, Deadspin notes, came about midway through the first half when senior Dez Wells walked to the foul line to be greeted by chants of "No Means no! No means no!" from the home court crowd.

A little context:

Back in 2012, "Wells was kicked off of Xavier University's team and expelled from the school for "a serious violation of the Code of Student Conduct." Wells was accused of sexual assault. An Ohio grand jury, however, decided against hitting him with federal criminal charges," Deadspin reported.

Wells transferred to Maryland and sued Xavier, "claiming that the allegations were false, and only came after consensual sex. The two parties settled late last year," Deadspin reports.

We're all for trash talk -- it's part of the fun of going to a game. But it seems this might be one instance where Penn State could choose its jeers a little more carefully.
