On Tuesday night, the Penn State's men's basketball team played host to Wisconsin, a contest that marked the team's first home game since the passing of former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno.
In tribute to Paterno and the legacy he left at Penn State, men's basketball coach Patrick Chambers honored the long-time football coach by dressing in similar fashion.

Penn State fans will recognize the attire as Paterno was commonly seen wearing a blue jacket and tie, with khakis and black Nike sneakers.

Chambers, who is currently in his first season as head coach, entered the Bryce Jordan Center on Tuesday night in that exact outfit, even rolling up his pant legs like Paterno used to.

Penn State played Wisconsin tough, but eventually lost the game, 52-44. The Nittany Lions fell to 10-13 overall and 2-8 in the Big Ten.
