Thoughts on an 83-78 win against the Nittany Lions:
It was a good old-fashioned barn burner in Assembly Hall tonight.
Penn State arrived with a purpose. Ace Baldwin splashed 3s, racked up steals and got into it with the crowd. At one point, dropping an f-bomb, at another, sticking his tongue out. Yanic Konan Niederhauser proved a worthy adversary to Oumar Ballo down low. The Northern Illinois transfer blocked a Ballo shot in the first half. His quickness proved a challenge.
Neither team was able to grab a hold of this one.
