UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (WTAJ) – Penn State Men’s Basketball coach Pat Chambers put it bluntly Monday afternoon.
“This team has a chance to do something special,” Chamber said.
The Nittany Lions are coming off a 14-18 season, and 7-13 in conference play. Chambers’ squad returns nearly every player from that team, including All-Big Ten forward Lamar Stevens. The Philadelphia native returns as the conference’s leader in scoring and rebounding from a year ago.
Monday also gave a look into the mindset of this year’s team. Everyone has heard in the past and present about ‘The Climb,’ now it’s about ‘Mamba Mentality’ after NBA legend Kobe Bryant.
