How the home-court advantage helped Penn State men's basketball secure its biggest win of the year

During Pat Chambers’ Monday media availability, he stressed one thing that was out of his team’s control, which could help Penn State pull off a critical early season upset.

The veteran coach discussed the importance of a home court advantage, something which the Nittany Lions saw last Saturday in their blowout loss at Ohio State.

In fact, Chambers said that the Buckeye faithful even took it as far as sticking a giant piece of bubble gum on his white board which stood between the Penn State bench and the fans.

So with that being said, Chambers asked for the Penn State community to do the same — minus the gum — and make the Bryce Jordan Center a raucous college basketball environment.
