Penn State faced Indiana in a college basketball game. Penn State's leading scorer, Kanye Clary, was absent for the second consecutive game. Indiana's Kel’el Ware scored 17 points in the first half, leading the Hoosiers. Despite trailing at halftime, Penn State surged ahead in the second half, ultimately winning 85-71. This victory marked Penn State's first win at Assembly Hall since 2014. Ace Baldwin Jr. scored 22 points for Penn State, while Zach Hicks contributed a season-high 19 points. The loss was a blow to Indiana's NCAA tournament hopes, as they had now lost four of their last five games and were below .500 in the Big Ten.
IU can kiss NCAA tournament hopes goodbye after Penn State punks Hoosiers in Assembly Hall, writes #iubb insider @ZachOsterman https://t.co/P0VroZtCZb
Tough times for Indiana. Boos ring out in Assembly Hall at the end of an 85-61 Penn State victory. Indiana had led by 11 in the first half. First win in Bloomington since 2014 for the Nittany Lions. Here is how KenPom projects the rest of the season for the Hoosiers . . . https://t.co/yNMaPgrkPG
Indiana just lost at home to Penn State by 14. Hoosiers have now lost four of five and are below .500 in the Big Ten entering road games this week at Ohio State and Purdue and Northwestern and Nebraska at home right after that. Make-or-break stretch coming up.
Indiana just lost by 14 at home to a Penn State team that was without its leading scorer.
FINAL: Penn State 85, Indiana 71. The Nittany Lions claim their first win at Assembly Hall since Feb. 12, 2014 behind 22 points from Ace Baldwin Jr. Zach Hicks also scored a season-high 19 points and Penn State will return home with two consecutive road wins
Penn State with a big win over Indiana, 85-71. First win in Assembly Hall in just under a decade.
IU basketball stinks and Mike Woodson is sensitive and pointing fingers and after this 85-71 loss at home to a 10-11 Penn State team I'm just done. #columncoming
Indiana went from up 11 to down 14 at home vs Penn State. Malik Reneau is playing for Indiana, Xavier Johnson is not.
IU shooting 51.2% from field and 9-for-11 on FT and trailing Penn State 71-57 with 6:33 left. #iubb
Penn State might be better than we thought ... or Indiana is just collapsing. https://t.co/BW10UbrIE8
Just like that and Penn State has taken a 59-48 lead over Indiana. Nittany Lions searching for their first win in Bloomington since Feb. 12, 2014.
IU leads Penn State 41-37 at half Penn State is 6-12 on 3's IU starting frontcourt of Ware, Reneau and Mgbako carrying Hoosiers: 34 of 41 points, 13 of 16 rebounds
HALF: Indiana 41, Penn State 37. Jameel Brown and Ace Baldwin Jr. have each scored 9 points as the Nittany Lions keep the Hoosiers close at the break. What could make the difference? Slowing Indiana big Kel’el Ware, who already has 17 points on 6-6 shooting
Penn State trails Indiana 28-21 at the under-8 media timeout. Hoosiers led by as much as 10, but the Nittany Lions keep sticking around.
Penn State struggling to contain Indiana center Kel’el Ware (6 points) early on and trails 10-6 at the first stoppage. Both of the Nittany Lions’ field goals have come from 3-point land.
Penn State (10-11) and Indiana (13-8) are just under 30 minutes from tipoff on FS1. Nittany Lions (+6.5) will be without leading scorer Kanye Clary for a second consecutive game.
A revision to the box score gives Ace Baldwin Jr. his first double-double as a Nittany Lion https://t.co/gwIPZAa98m
