Chambers Must Bring Defense

To the surprise of nobody, the men’s basketball team was picked to finish last in the media poll released at Big Ten media day last week. The understandably low expectations are a by-product from the loss of many core pieces to last year’s NCAA tournament team. It’s not often a...

College Basketball Coaches on the Hot Seat - 2010

It's that time again - I can tell from the searches that are leading to this blog - to start talking about the college basketball coaches on the hot seat. Many of the coaches on this list were pretty much on the hot seat from the beginning of the year. And some who should be on the hot seat are no...

Ed DeChellis Needs To Go

I've always been a fan of Ed DeChellis. He took over a program that Jerry Dunn left in shambles in 2003. Things were so bad they couldn't even scrape up enough players to have a scrimmage in practice. Assistant coaches needed to suit up and play just so they had enough guys. Nobody associated with...

2010-2011 Penn State Basketball Schedule Released

When Penn State Basketball announced its non-conference schedule a few weeks ago, it was met with mixed reviews. Some think it's too easy, some think it's too hard, some think it's just right, and some just don't care. However, when the Nittany Lions' conference schedule was released on Thursday,...

Nitt Picks Is On The Take

Last week we looked at Penn State's non-conference basketball schedule and came to the conclusion it's an improvement over the terrible schedule from the 2008-2009 season. Today David Jones weighs in and he too likes it. Right away, you can say this about it: By about a power of five, it's a...

Nitt Picks Hates Straw Men

I have a pretty lengthy post for later in the day, but there are some newsworthy links out there I wanted to point out for you first. Jay Paterno talked to the Daily Collegian about quarterback recruiting, and from the sounds of it, our days of recruiting guys like Anthony Morelli are over. "If...

What Did We Do To Deserve This?

Suppose I told you before the game that Penn State was going to take the No. 19 ranked Wisconsin Badgersinto overtime on the road. Considering that the Nittany Lions had looked awful in their last two games against Indiana and Iowa and didn't look like they belonged on the same court with these...

Penn State Basketball Preview - Part III

We took a hiatus from the basketball previews to focus on the football game against Ohio State last week. But the season opener is this Friday, so I have to wrap this up fast. Previously we discussed what Penn State has to replace, and what Penn State is returning. So today let's introduce you all...

Come To Penn SHTAAAAATE - Point Guard Trey Burke

Give me a point guard and a SIREN WHOOOOOO!!! Ok, so how many of you saw the siren and ran out the door screaming "WHOOO WE JUST GOT SHARIFF FLOYD!!!" No, actually this is a hoops siren, as Ed DeChellis just nailed down his first verbal commitment for the class of 2011 in Columbus, OH point...
