Mike Watkins to start as Penn State men’s basketball tips off season against University of Maryland Eastern Shore

At media day on Oct. 7, Pat Chambers said that his team has more answers than questions ahead of this season.

Tuesday’s regular season home opener against the University of Maryland Eastern Shore at 7 p.m. will be Penn State’s first official chance to prove that, and ahead of the clash, Chambers provided some more key clarification.

Chambers announced at a press conference Monday that he’ll run Lamar Stevens, Myreon Jones, Jamari Wheeler, Myles Dread and Mike Watkins as the first starting five of the season.

Perhaps most notably included in that group is Watkins, who was not available for the start of last year’s season.
