When Pat Chambers was hired by Penn State last June, he knew he had a tall mountain to climb. There were times this season when Penn State was left for dead, and many, including myself, had trouble finding another game on the schedule that they could win.

The Penn State women's basketball team earned a narrow victory at Illinois on Thursday, 71-65.
