Shavon Shields scored 25 points in his return from a concussion injury and Nebraska rallied from an 18-point deficit, but the Husker men's basketball team fell short in a 56-55 loss at Penn State on Thursday night.
Shields, 9-of-17 from the field, was short on an off-balanced 15-footer at the buzzer. Nebraska, with no time outs, ran a play out of transition for Shields after Shep Garner missed the second of two free throws with 7.2 seconds to play.
Garner's first free throw, after a foul on Tai Webster, gave Penn State (15-13, 6-9 Big Ten Conference) the lead.
