In past years, the Southern Scuffle has been the toughest tournament in the country.
Penn State has won seven team titles in its last seven trips to Chattanooga, Tenn. The Nittany Lions may not have a problem winning their eighth as this year’s 25-team field is rather weak.
“(A) few years ago, it was very loaded,” Penn State coach Cael Sanderson said during Friday’s media day. “You’re looking at strong individual(s) in each weight class, but some strong teams, obviously, Oklahoma State is a title contender and as good a team as anybody. It’ll be a fun team race, but more important than that, we’re just looking for effort, hustle and just progress.
