Penn State basketball defeats #22 Illinois (again)

Another casualty of the scandal? Other Penn State sports. People like me are so heartbroken we’re not giving them their due.

New Penn State basketball coach Pat Chambers looks promising

Pat Chambers, who just led Boston University to a NCAA tournament bid, has been chosen as the new Penn State men’s basketball head coach.

Ed DeChellis will be Penn State’s basketball coach for a while

DeChellis gets boost from AD – Altoona Mirror
Penn State athletic director Tim Curley gave Nittany Lions basketball coach Ed DeChellis a vote of confidence yesterday. No surprise there, but given the #fireed mentality out there, worth noting.

Penn State goes up 14-0, hangs on to beat Wisconsin 36-33

That’s a basketball score folks, men’s basketball, even. G Talor Battle stunk up Conseco Fieldhouse for the second consecutive night, but he scored enough, including a late trey and a critical 1st foul shot in 1 and 1 to get Penn State to the insurmountable 36th point.
