Chambers Addresses Injuries, Alexis Situation
There were plenty of topics at Pat Chambers' weekly press conference today, but not many questions focused on the Wisconsin Badgers. We received a more definitive injury update on Billy Oliver and Trey Lewis, and some light was shed on the decision to release Peter Alexis from his...
Penn State Hoops - By The Numbers
With a new era of Penn State basketball halfway through its first year, I thought now could be an appropriate time to compare last year's NCAA squad to this year's rebuilding team. No, this comparison isn't based off similar expectations between the teams, but I'm curious to see if Chambers has had...
YAY HOOPS: Penn State vs. Mount St. Mary's Live Game Thread
In the wake of a three-game losing skid which included losses to the likes of Lafayette and Duquesne, the growing concern/speculation over the yet to be filled football coaching vacancy, plus yesterday's *AHEM* 'scuffle' between Matt McGloin and Curtis Drake, desperate times have...
Lions Return Home To Face Ole Miss
After surviving a stretch that saw the Lions on the road for 4 out of their last 5 games, Penn State returns to the BJC for the marquee home match-up of this year's non-conference schedule. The 6-1 Ole Miss Rebels come to State College on the return trip of a one-and-one series that started last...
Another Homecoming Of Sorts For Chambers
I don't think Pat Chambers could have dreamt of a better schedule to begin on the road with his new team. After going home to Philadelphia over the past weekend, Chambers heads back to Boston where he coached the past two years before PSU. Thankfully, there is good reason to believe this trip...
The St. Joe's Massacre: A Sign Of What's To Come?
Penn State got pantsed on Hawk Hill Saturday, just a little bit before the football team followed suit. I didn't watch the basketball game, but I don't think I missed anything that I didn't see in Connecticut. This team can flat-out brick some jump shots, and I fear it's going to be a far too...
A Successful Road Trip For Hoops Team
Coach Chambers has yet to throw out any expectations including wins/losses since he has been head coach here, and it's likely that won't happen anytime soon. He knows how far this team has to go before they can start setting reasonable goals for themselves, so he has emphasized a 'get better...
Penn State Guts Out 77-68 Victory Over LIU
Despite leading for most of the game, our young Nittany Lions found themselves letting the game slip away at the under 8 media timeout. They had just missed 6 straight shots and the Blackbirds were gaining momentum as they built their largest lead of the game (4 points). Tim Frazier had carried the...
Penn State Basketball Defeats Hartford 70-55 In Season Opener
The Pat Chambers era began in winning fashion, as Penn State delivered a 70-55 knockout blow to a Hartford team that was playing its second game in just as many days. I was fortunate enough to attend this game after having watched an emotional football game right beforehand. The crowd was probably...
Basketball Story Lines: The Frontcourt
To continue with our Friday hooptravaganza, I'm here to take a look at everyone's favorite athletes, the Penn State Big Men! It's time to see if these newbies can live up to the great standards set forth by Kevin Fellows, Jason McDougald, and Scott Witkowsky. In all seriousness, PSU's frontcourt...
