How Penn State men’s basketball’s expectations have changed since winning the NIT

The 2017-18 season was a historic one for Penn State basketball, and coach Pat Chambers wasn’t shy about that at media day Tuesday.

“[Fans] know we're doing a lot of positive things,” Chambers said. “Building off 26 wins, 51 records broken, cutting down some nets, getting one of first players drafted since 1999, lots of exciting things.”

Even with two of the programs key players in recent years — guards Tony Carr and Shep Garner — having moved on to begin their professional careers, the Nittany Lions head into the new season with experience and raised expectations.
