Penn State Nittany Lions at Bryce Jordan Center

The Nittany Lions play in the Bryce Jordan Center, a 15,000-seat multipurpose arena in University Park, Pennsylvania. The stadium opened in 1995 bearing the name of the former university president who'd helped secure the funding to build it. The student section is known as the Legion of Blue, and the Pride of the Lions pep band keeps things lively. Since 2011, the Lions have been coached by Patrick Chambers.

Penn State Nittany Lions Men's Basketball History

They may live in the shadow of the vastly better-funded and more successful football team, but Penn State hoops has had some winning moments over the years. From nice NCAA tournament berths, including a Final Four to 11 appearances in the National Invitation Tournament (including two championships since 2009) and the whole career of Lamar Stevens (a versatile forward now in his last season in Happy Valley). Stevens poured in 20 points a game in 2018-19, second in the Big Ten to Purdue's Carsen Edwards, and perhaps more significantly he spent nearly the whole season out on the floor, playing nearly 37 minutes a game.

In 2017-18, the Nittany Lions took home an NIT championship. As a No. 4 seed, the Penn State team knocked off No. 5 seed Temple, No. 1 seed Notre Dame and No. 2 seed Marquette to reach the semifinals, where they romped past Mississippi State. In the final against Utah, Lamar Stevens scored 28 points, dished out three assists, and pulled down two rebounds, and guard Tony Carr just missed a triple-double, with 15 points, 14 assists and nine boards, en route to an 82-66 Penn State victory at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Penn State's only NCAA Final Four appearance was in 1954. The Lions were coached that year by Elmer Gross and led by junior Jesse Arnelle, who scored 21 points per game and hauled in nearly 12 rebounds per game. After dropping Toledo, ousting Louisiana State and dispatching Notre Dame, Penn State fell to La Salle in the semifinal, 69-54. The Lions would go on to beat USC, 70-61, in the national third-place game.

Daniil Kasatkin: “Progress is important not only in statistics

The 22-year-old MBA defender now tops the list of the best snipers Parimatch of the Russian Men's Superleague Championship 1.

On average, he scores 18.6 points per game. And in the last two meetings he scored 51: 25 - in the victorious match with CSKA (80:76), 26 - in Samara against the current champion (78:93). Plus, Daniil Kasatkin is among the championship leaders in long-range shooting accuracy: he made almost half of his three-point attempts - 30 out of 62 (48. 4 percent).

- You have been in the public eye since early childhood. Repeatedly won the Championship of Russia. Played for the reserve teams of countries of different ages. What role did the SShOR "CSKA" and personally your coach Ivan Kucherov play in this?

- Very large indeed. Ivan Evgenievich took me at the age of 7. Believed in me. I was quite tall, but he put me in the defensive position. Therefore, since childhood, he played a lot with the ball. Largely thanks to this, I now have a basketball career.

Ivan Evgenievich was very worried about each of us, he spent a lot of time with us. In high school, we moved to a special school - we started studying at 11 o’clock so that we had time to do morning workouts. So Kucherov was with us even then more than with children, with his next team. He invested a lot in terms of individual and physical training. In those conditions, he squeezed the maximum out of us, trusted a lot. At the same time, it gave the opportunity to develop in all directions. For example, the big ones were throwing three-pointers, and the back players were flirting in the post. He preached modern basketball at the children's level and this gave a lot to each of us.

- In 2016 you went to America to study at Penn State University. Why did they make such a decision?

- Did it right after graduation. I had a choice: I could enter any youth basketball program in Russia or go there. Then it seemed to me that in Russia, players of a transitional age of 17-19 years old are, as it were, in an intermediate position - they do not play in strong teams and do not get much playing time. Therefore, I decided to try myself where the capital of basketball is located.

I don't regret it. It was a great experience. Not all decisions were correct. There were times when I didn't get playing time. But I think that if I spent these three years in Russia, they did not give me much. In the end, I still decided that I needed to win a name for myself in our championship. I could transfer, but the university offered me an online course. On the condition that I sign a professional contract in Russia, then they will fully pay for my education.

- You spent three years in America. Feel the difference quickly?

- She was immediately noticeable. I actually left DUBL. I arrived, and the first game was with one of the strongest teams - Oak Hill Academy, through which many future NBA stars went. In particular, Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony. I got on the court and made 5 turnovers. On the dribble and because of the pressure. Not accustomed to such speeds, pressure, energy. Over time, of course, he adapted. Moreover, not every time I had to play against the best. There were also successful matches. But the big difference in athleticism was always felt.

- What worked and what didn't?

- I managed to work on my body. There was always access to the gym - both at school and at the university. When I left, I was not ready for any basketball. But in America, he swayed, added individually, became stronger and faster. In any case, it was a very cool experience, which now helps me a lot. In training, he constantly played with those who later ended up in the NBA. For example, Josh Reeves. True, he was in Dallas for only one season, but he managed to play with Luka Doncic. It will not be easy for him to return to the league - now he plays for the Turkish Besiktas. Or Lamar Stevens, who is in his second season with Cleveland.

But I overestimated myself a little. He caught fire, had ambitions and decided to go to the strongest university, for which he was not able to play at that time. It would be right to choose a lower level team, where I would be trusted and where I could play more.

- You returned to Russia in 2019 but continued your studies. How much more to study?

- The system is designed so that I don't take more than two courses per semester. Study for three more years. It was better to finish early, but with training and constant traveling, this does not work.

- How does it feel to play here and study there?

- Very difficult. You come back from a game or after training, everyone has business, fun, and I have a deadline - something needs to be done. In addition, I'm not the most organized guy, I can put everything off until later. So, after the last match with Samara, I had to finish the assignments.

- You returned to Russia in Khimki-Podmoskovye. Why go there?

- At that time I didn't have much choice. I wanted to stay in Moscow, closer to friends and parents, but get enough playing time. Before that, I went with the Russian team to the European Championship, where we did not perform very well. So there were no serious proposals. And in Khimki they gave me what I needed.

- Were you invited to the main Khimki?

- Called in the last year when many legionnaires left. Starting from winter, I trained with the main team all spring, traveled with them to St. Petersburg and Perm, and was in the application for the games. But the matches turned out to be tight, and my debut in the VTB United League did not take place.

- Is there a big difference?

- Colossal! The level of performers is completely different - Swede, Mickey, McCollum.

- Is training with Alexei Shved an invaluable experience?

- He is a very individual strong player in isolation. Of course, he tried to repeat something after him. But I try to take something useful from all the famous basketball players with whom I crossed paths on the court.

- In December 2019, Khimki-Podmoskovye played a tough match against Runa. We won, but only in the third overtime - 112:106. And then you got seriously injured. What happened?

- I got injured just in this match - I injured my knee. However, I played to the end, I did not think that it was something serious. But the next morning everything became clear. But I was lucky - the pandemic soon began, and I missed only 5-6 games. During the lockdown, I was recovering from the operation - it’s good that my rehabilitation specialist lived nearby. When everyone was at home, I did a lot of work on my knee. And he returned much earlier than expected - after 6 months.

- Was it difficult to return to the site after the pandemic?

- Physically, I was well prepared - I did a lot of work on my own. Somewhere even added. But in terms of game rhythm it was not easy. True, it was not easy for everyone. Plus, at the beginning of the championship, he fell ill with the coronavirus. This, of course, affected the start.

- After two seasons at Khimki, you ended up in the MBA. Why?

- In Khimki they said they were counting on me. But the situation was not clear. Players began to sign contracts with other clubs. My agent and I decided it was time to look for new options. At the MBA, they provided me with everything that could be asked for at that time - trust, organization, ideas for the development of the club. He was on good terms with the head coach Alexander Igorevich Afanasiev. The choice was not easy, but everything is clear here. Plus, I stayed in Moscow - this was an additional bonus. Even though he was ready to leave.

- Your first season at the MBA is going great for you. You are the best scorer in Superleague 1, having scored 51 points in the last two matches. Overall, are you satisfied with your game?

- In principle, with the confidence of the coaching staff and with the freedom given, with that faith from my partners, it would be difficult not to gain so much. I do what I must. Of course, it's great to score a lot, but there are enough components of the game in which to improve. In order for everything to work out well, it is necessary not to lose concentration in defense. But given the heavy workload on offense and 30 minutes on the court, it's hard to be consistently aggressive on defense. We need to work more on the organization of the game, to involve partners more often. Satisfied with individual performance. But there is a lot of work to be done to become the player I want to be.

- You were a point guard for many years, but now you play as a shooting guard. Was the role change easy?

- In fact, these are quite close positions. Plus, we have Makar Konovalov, who does an excellent job with the role of a creator. It was obvious that if he played, then I would become the second "number". So I won't say it's difficult. I am not particularly required to do anything that I have not done before. Unless he used to transfer the ball over the center line, but in modern basketball it doesn’t matter who does it. I have experience of the game and the third or fourth "numbers". This is also useful - you need to be able to close other positions.

- MBA fought on equal terms with Samara for three and a half quarters. What was missing in the end?

- Definitely strong. To defeat the reigning champion, you need to show quality basketball for the entire 40 minutes. But we had failures, loss of concentration in defense, we missed the opponent's snipers, which is my great "merit". We have shown that we can fight on equal terms with serious teams. However, we want to win them.

- Now IBA is in 6th place. How big is the difference with the top five?

- More like a big three. For me, Samara, Uralmash and Runa stand out in terms of squad selection. They brought together all the best players in Superleague 1. Of course, there is a difference in class. But at the same time, at the beginning of the season, we confidently beat Surgut, which is in the top five, now we have given battle to Samara, which CSKA-2 beat away. There are a lot of unpredictable results in the championship. You can go out and hit, play defensively outside the box, stumping your opponent. On a certain day, you can beat anyone.

- What are your personal and team goals for this season?

- For me - to develop as a player. However, such a task is always worth it. The most important thing is to enjoy basketball. Now I get it in every game - thanks to freedom and trust. But I understand that I am responsible for the result, for the team's performance. I would like to progress not only in terms of personal statistics, but also as a player who helps the team win.

With the MBA, of course, you need to go to the playoffs. This is the minimum task. To do this, you need to try to beat everyone. The championship is short - only 28 games. Every match is worth its weight in gold. As a result, one game can backfire at the finish line. If we reach the quarterfinals, we will fight in every match. And not to recognize any authorities, not to be afraid to play with any opponent.

- Is there a goal to get on the note of the head coach of the national team Zoran Lukic?

- Of course. Probably, everyone has a dream since childhood - to play for the Russian national team. And this is one of the goals. But in order to achieve it, you need not only to show good numbers, but also a mature game - both in attack and in defense. If I ever get into the national team, something completely different may be required of me - protection or organization of the game. If I can show that I can not only create a shot for myself, but also lead the team to victory, then there will be a chance.

- Has anyone from the national team contacted you yet?

- No. There were conversations, but there were no contacts.

- Do you still have a dream to get into the NBA?

- If you take me at the age of 16, then I would answer: yes, by all means! And be the best there. But now it is difficult to say whether this is possible. There are many different examples. It happens that players play in Europe for 10 years, and then go overseas. Basically, never say never. I adequately evaluate my game. You just need to maximize your value in all components. Obviously, it should be better than it is. And then everything will depend not on me. And what will be the ceiling - the best clubs in Europe or the NBA - is impossible to predict.

110 thousand fans - and all in white 😍 Breathtaking tradition of the Penn State team - Photo of the year - Blogs

Somewhere in a parallel universe.

We recently talked about the 80,000 dancing to Jump Around at a game in Wisconsin. But US collegiate sports never cease to amaze. This time, after the pandemic, the main show of Penn State fans, the American football team of the University of Pennsylvania, returned. Every year, approximately 110,000 fans (with the official capacity of the arena of 106,572 spectators) gather for the game dressed in white.

This time the Auburn Tigers from Alabama were in competition for the first time. Appreciate the beauty.

An important tradition has a not so long history. In 2004, the team experienced problems both on and off the field. After a series of expansions, the stadium became noticeably quieter, despite the 100,000th attendance. To stir up not very active fans, the then director of branding and communications of the university, Guido D'Elia, came up with a campaign with white clothes. I chose the color simply - each student has a white T-shirt.

True, it's not easy to spread the word when social networks are still not really there, and the university refused to disclose students' emails. I had to run around campuses with megaphones and flyers to get the idea across to the fans. Even on the day of the game, volunteers stood outside the dormitories, asking students to change their shirts if they weren't wearing white.

“We knew if it didn't work the first time, it wouldn't work at all,” says D'Elia. “And now wearing white has become part of the Penn State brand identity. Our fans have embraced the tradition, made it a fearsome force. Almost every coach will tell you that."

Everything worked out - then 20 thousand students came in white, and since 2007 the dress code has gone beyond the student sector and touched the entire arena. Since then, 14 matches (cancelled in the coronavirus 2020) have been attended by more than 1.4 million fans in white.

Now it is already a powerful brand of the university, which was called White Out. Ticket prices for this game start at $250, the Beaver Stadium is now called one of the noisiest and most atmospheric in college football. And D'Elia became a league-wide matchday and marketing consultant.

In the video, the white avalanche looks even more impressive.

Especially when the fans are singing songs. Here, for example, Sweet Caroline.

By the way, there is a similar tradition in the NHL.
