NOTABLE GAMES IN THE SERIES Feb. 27, 2013 (PSU, 84-78): Penn State outscored No. 4 Michigan in the final 10 minutes and hit a season best 10-of-20 from three to knock off the Wolverines, 84-78, in the Bryce Jordan Center.

Feb. 20, 2010 (PSU, 55-51): Talor Battle did a little bit of everything for Penn State and Jeff Brooks hit one of the biggest shots of his Nittany Lion career as Penn State downed Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Since being named the 12th head coach in program history June 6, 2011, the Philly native quickly energized his players and staff, as well as the Penn State fan base with his passion, enthusiasm and his team s all-out style of play. The freshman class - the first Top 30 recruiting class in PSU history - clearly illustrates the progress Chambers and his staff have made during their time in Happy Valley. The future continues to be bright as Penn State will welcome a four-member consensus Top 15 class (at the time of signing) to begin their Nittany Lion careers in Chambers has sent players into the professional ranks in each of the last two years with Tim Frazier ( ) spending time with the New Orleans Pelicans, Portland Trail Blazers and Philadelphia 76ers, and with D.J. Newbill ( ) playing professionally in Europe in Turkey. The senior class produced a Euroleague player (Newbill), a Kansas City Chiefs practice player (Ross Travis), a Ford engineer (Alan Wisniewski) and a Penn State graduate student in accounting with eight-consecutive semesters of a 4.0 GPA (Kevin Montminy), proving all venues of success are available. Penn State has had 16 or more wins in a season six times since , including each of the last three seasons under the direction of Chambers. The Nittany Lions had not previously reached 16 wins in three-consecutive seasons since joining the Big Ten Conference. These wins include five over Top 25-ranked teams in his tenure with two coming last season alone vs. Indiana and Iowa. In both victory and defeat, however, the Philly native s teams are heralded for their work ethic, perseverance and relentless attitude. During his time with the Nittany Lions, Chambers has guided five players to a combined seven All-Big Ten honors, including Tim Frazier s first-team nod in 2011 and most recently with Brandon Taylor s third-team selection in Frazier ended his career as the all-time leader in assists at Penn State a record Chambers also holds to this date at his alma mater Philadelphia. When D.J. Newbill s PSU career ended, he was the fourth-ranked scorer in Nittany Lion history, after just three seasons, and Ross Travis has the third-most rebounds of any player to ever don the Blue and White. To Penn State students, Chambers is known around campus for his infectious energy. He ordered up a pair of golf carts and began making spur-of-the-moment trips around the University Park campus distributing t-shirts. In his first few years, he visited amusement parks, pep rallies, student groups, and classes and threw out first pitches. Chambers even went as far as to go behind the counter to serve free Big Macs to students at State College s downtown McDonald s and donned a Penn State football jersey and helmet to fire up the famed Nittanyville student campout.
