Despite First Team All-Big Ten Conference sophomore guard only scoring Tony Carr two points, the Owls lost to Penn State 63-57 on Wednesday in the first round of the National Inviation Tournament.
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.
Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Jalen Mills gave the Owls a pregame speech before their 75-56 victory against Central Florida on Sunday at the Liacouras Center.
