Penn State Basketball may not be dancing this March, but we still have some former blue and white brethren to watch!

It wasn’t a great year for Penn State Basketball.

To make things worse, a significant player has already entered the transfer portal. But, Nittany Nation still have some Penn Staters to cheer on as the NCAA Tournament kicks off Thursday.

Brockington had a killer year for the Cyclones, averaging 17.2 points and 7.1 rebounds, shooting over 45% from the field and almost 38% from three (a 10% improvement from last year). He initially re-committed to the Nittany Lions after the hiring of Micah Shrewsberry before changing his mind and reentering the transfer portal.

The former Nittany Lions’ star was named a Naismith Award finalist (the college basketball version of the Heisman Trophy) and he will lead the Cyclones against a familiar opponent for PSU fans, the Lousiana State University Tigers, who defeated Penn State in overtime.

With an upset win (LUS is 4.5 point favorites), Iowa State would face either #3 Wisconsin or #14 Colgate.
