Indiana University's men's basketball team secured a 77-71 victory over Penn State at The Palestra in Philadelphia, marking their first Quad 1 win of the season. The Hoosiers, now 12-3 overall and 3-1 in Big Ten play, were led by Oumar Ballo's impressive performance of 25 points and 13 rebounds, alongside Mackenzie Mgbako's 20 points. The game saw Indiana without their leading scorer, Malik Reneau, who is sidelined with a knee injury but expected to return soon. Despite a strong comeback attempt by Penn State, which cut a 16-point lead to just two points late in the game, Indiana managed to hold on for the win. This victory is considered Indiana's best of the season, showcasing their ability to perform under pressure on the road.
