Five takeaways from Penn State’s thrilling win over West Virginia in exhibition

Exhibition or not, that was an impressive win for Penn State.

The Nittany Lions are heading into the 2018-19 season with not a whole lot of expectations, but Pat Chambers’ squad went on the road and beat a West Virginia team that was ranked No. 13 in the preseason AP top-25.

Josh Reaves’ last second tip-in gave Penn State the 84-82 victory over the Mountaineers, which if you don’t follow college basketball, are known for their defensive abilities.

Penn State reportedly played Temple in a secret scrimmage in Harrisburg last weekend, but this was the first time we got to see how Penn State would fare after losing both of the players from last year’s backcourt, Tony Carr and Shep Garner.
