3 Steps for Penn State Basketball to get their “One Shining Moment”
By Evan Smith
What must new head coach Micah Shrewsberry and Penn State Basketball do to return to March madness?
Monday night “the ball was tipped,” and the Big 12’s Baylor Bears hoisted the trophy as the best division one men’s college basketball team, a crown Penn State Basketball hasn’t played for in a decade.
Penn State was at home, shut out of an NCAA Tournament bid for the 10th straight year. Just how far away is Penn State from getting their own “One Shining Moment”?
Here’s a look at three things Penn State Basketball must do to return to the postseason:
Need to add dominant front-court players
Currently, Penn State Basketball has just one front court player on their roster, rising true Sophomore Abdou Tsimbila.
With starting center John Harrar still in the transfer portal (joined by backup forward Trent Buttrick), front-court play was the biggest weakness of the 2020-2021 squad, and has somehow gotten even weaker this offseason.
New head coach Micah Shrewsberry has to immediately address this by attacking the transfer portal and re-recruting both Harrar and Buttrick. ASAP.
