STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Penn State has tabbed Boston University’s Pat Chambers to take over the Nittany Lions basketball program, capping a whirlwind coaching search following the surprise departure of Ed DeChellis.

A posting on the website for Boston University confirmed the move late Friday afternoon.

Chambers, a former Villanova assistant, led the Terriers to their first America East title and NCAA tournament in nine seasons this spring. Boston lost in the second round to Kansas.

He is 42-28 since joining the Terriers in 2009.

Now, he moves up to a power conference program, though Penn State historically has had trouble stringing together winning seasons

DeChellis resigned as Penn State coach last week to take the same job at Navy.
