The Owls led for 35 minutes, 12 seconds of their 63-57 loss to Penn State in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament on Wednesday at the Bryce Jordan Center in University Park, Pennsylvania.
Coach Fran Dunphy said Penn State coach Pat Chambers made a “special move” to land several Philadelphia area players, but added Chambers deserves credit for how he recruited the area.
The No. 5 seeded Owls will play the No. 4 seed Nittany Lions on Wednesday at 8 p.m. at the Bryce Jordan Center on Penn State’s campus in the National Inviational Tournament.
