\"Barbour:<\/a><\/p>\n

In [Penn State AD Sandy] Barbour\u2019s eyes, one of the more impressive things about the PSU program this year is that the Lions have never given up, even during a pair of six-game Big Ten losing streaks. She credits [Pat] Chambers for developing that type of player.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose guys would run through a brick wall for him,\u201d Barbour said. \u201cThey will fight, and I love all those same traits in him. He is going to fight for me, he\u2019s going to fight for Penn State. I am going to fight for him. That is the kind of relationship that I really enjoy with Pat, and that he enjoys with our entire community. And I think if you can\u2019t get behind that, I\u2019m not sure what you can get behind.\u201d<\/p>\n

With that in mind, this week\u2019s run in Chicago did not surprise the athletic director at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst and foremost, I love these guys, and I love this team, and I love the heart with which they have represented the university and Nittany Nation and the community,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd so I was just happy for them to achieve some success. To see some success and have a lot of folks get behind them. To get people taking about Penn State men\u2019s basketball the last couple days, although it probably ended a little bit shorter than we would have hoped, we are really, really proud of their effort. I think it is a precursor of things to come for Penn State men\u2019s basketball.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the Nittany Lions\u2019 run to the quarterfinals in Chicago, Barbour is hoping to spearhead and spark even more interest in the program.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, I think you have a coach who embodies all of those characteristics that I think the Penn State community is about,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s about toughness and resilience, and values of integrity and character and the things that he demands of his young men on a daily basis. \u2026 That is why you want to support and follow Penn State men\u2019s basketball.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
