STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Beat Northwestern one time, shame on you. Beat Northwestern (13-14, 6-12 B1G) two times, shame on the Wildcats.
NU fell to Penn State (12-13, 7-10 B1G) for a second time this season on Friday evening, this time losing 67-60 after a late barrage of threes from the Nittany Lions put the game out of reach.
Sophomore guard Dallion Johnson, who averaged only three points per game heading into the contest, led all scorers with 15 behind five long-range makes. Graduate student John Harrar was dominant in the paint, grabbing 20 rebounds while adding 11 points.
