Turns out, one of the only ways to beat a press is with experienced big men.
After starting freshman Josh Reaves and sophomore Julian Moore in recent weeks, Penn State coach Patrick Chambers switched things around by starting senior big men Donovan Jack and Jordan Dickerson.
“I wanted to reward the seniors for their loyalty and commitment to this program,” Chambers said after the game. “I felt like starting three out of the four [seniors] would be special because they were all here the first time around [in Rec Hall]… So I thought it was important for those guys to hear their names to start.
