Thoughts on a 74-57 win against the Nittany Lions:
So much for the starters digging the early hole.
Trayce Jackson-Davis, Race Thompson, Parker Stewart, Miller Kopp and Xavier Johnson have taken some heat of late due to poor starts, the numbers from the last seven games telling an ugly +/- tale. But the starters flipped that narrative on its head tonight in a big way. From the jump, Indiana was locked in on both ends and took Penn State to the cleaners.
Indiana made the Nittany Lions uncomfortable on defense as it fought through screens, jumped passing lanes, got back in transition and blocked shots.
