In a recent interview, Texans head coach Bill O'Brien was questioned about his decision to leave Penn State, the NCAA sanctions, and his relationship with his former players. Even though he left the program, O'Brien remained a staunch defender of the Nittany Lions. He opened up about how hard it was to leave his team, explaining that he called every player until 4 a.m. on the night he accepted the Houston job. He also sent a diss Mark Emmert's way in talking about the ridiculousness of the bowl ban at Penn State.
The Lady Lions senior’s performances seemed fitting for their last game at the Bryce Jordan Center, carrying their team to victory in the second round of the NCAA tournament beating Florida 83-61.
Penn State's season started in August and finally came to an end on Monday night as the Nittany Lions fell 54-52 to Siena in the College Basketball Invitational quarterfinals.
The Nittany Lions could have been a dangerous tournament bubble team, at the very least, if it wasn't for a few key roster changes that most notably saw the program lose Jermaine Marshall to Arizona State, where the graduate student guard scored 15.1 points per game on his way to an NCAA tournament appearance with the Sun Devils.
