Dozens of people — a mix of students and community members — gathered at the Bryce Jordan Center on Tuesday afternoon to send the Penn State basketball team off to the NCAA Tournament.

The Nittany Lions, a No. 10 seed, will face No. 7-seed Texas A&M on Thursday night in Des Moines, Iowa. It’s Penn State’s first time taking part in March Madness since 2011.
