UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - While most of America was home enjoying the final stages of dessert on Thanksgiving night, redshirt sophomore guard Payton Banks was busy in the Bryce Jordan Center practice gym.
It wasn't the only time in recent weeks that Banks had been taking the time to get extra shots up on his own. The work outside of practice time often gives a player the confidence to finish off a key play when the lights are on in a game. Those extra shots also fall right in order with a line head coach Patrick Chambers has used since he stepped onto the Penn State campus.
