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...

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.

Nitt Picks Vaguely Remembers Some Other Sport They Play On Campus In The Winter
Though we're in the thick of football season with big games against Michigan and Ohio State coming up, let's not forget about the other team that won our hearts last spring with an improbable run through the NIT tournament, the Nittany Lion men's basketball team. Yesterday was media day at the...
Nitt Picks Isn't Quite Awake Yet
Just some quick Nitt Picks for you this morning. There was an article last week about Daryll Clark making an appearance at a charity function. While there he made some comments about the upcoming season. " I am absolutely confident that [we] can do well again next season. The workouts have been...
