Penn State dug themselves an early hole. Later on, Pat Chambers picked up a technical foul and Tim Frazier struggled to put his shoe on at one point. It was that kind of night for the Nittany Lions (10-12, 2-7) as they lost to No. 4 Ohio State (18-3, 6-2) 78-54.
When Pat Chambers was hired by Penn State last June, he knew he had a tall mountain to climb. There were times this season when Penn State was left for dead, and many, including myself, had trouble finding another game on the schedule that they could win. And yet here we are, with ten games left before the conference tournament, and Penn State has proven that they can beat any team in the conference.
The Penn State Men’s Basketball Team will welcome the 22nd ranked Fighting Illini to the Bryce Jordan Center for a Big Ten conference clash. The game is a primetime 9 pm start and will be broadcasted on ESPN2. For students, if you wear a gray Penn State shirt to the game, attendance is FREE. It also Dollar Dog Night, so there are really no reasons to miss out on this one.
Fans will get a chance to get an up-close and personal look at Pat Chambers and this year’s Penn State basketball team this afternoon at the Bryce Jordan Center. That's because the squad's regular evening practice will be open to the public free of charge.
