With the game already decided, Penn State coach Patrick Chambers stayed upbeat.
Chambers talked with point guard Tony Carr, telling him this is what an “elite” team looks like as Purdue coasted to a win over the Nittany Lions last weekend. The coach kept teaching and talked about Penn State’s room for growth during the 25-point loss.
“There’s no better time to do it than when they’re in the moment like that,” Chambers said Monday. “I thought I utilized that second half to the best of my ability.”
After Tuesday’s game at Wisconsin got away from the Nittany Lions in the second half, Chambers took the same approach, using the final 10 minutes to work with his team to get better.
