\n“He’s the hardest working man in the Big 10”<\/em><\/p>\n

ESPN’s John Gasaway:<\/p>\n

Tomorrow night Penn State\u2019s playing a game at Ohio State that the Nittany Lions are very likely to lose, so this may seem like an odd moment to throw a bouquet to Pat Chambers. Be that as it may, PSU has a defense that has very clearly been better than the Big Ten average. That is news, in the sense that it\u2019s the first time in Chambers\u2019 tenure that Penn State has been better than average on either side of the ball.<\/p>\n

And all it got the Lions was three wins and eight losses. There\u2019s a lot of close-game heartbreak in that record, as you\u2019d expect, but then again with this offense PSU is hard pressed to play anything but close games to begin with.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t blame D.J. Newbill. In conference play he carries a larger sack of possessions around than any other player in the Big Ten and yet he\u2019s still managed to make half his twos. Newbill\u2019s main challenge on offense is that the best perimeter shooter on his team might be a guy named D.J. Newbill, and he\u2019s actually not that great from out there.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see, tough defense, maniacally overworked featured scorer who arrived as a transfer, school acquired by the Big Ten to improve the conference\u2019s football, historically benighted basketball program \u2014 it all adds up. When Chambers starts tweeting at halftime, the parallels to Nebraska 2014 will be complete.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
