Better Late Than Never: CuJo Went Batty
Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY SportsCurtis Jones carried the Lions down the stretch during the road win against Michigan. Without his heroics it is unlikely that the team would have returned home with a win and NET Ranking of 29.
Penn State began the second half with a 9 point lead, hardly safe on the road. Zavier Simpson hit a jump shot to cut the gap to 5 points with 13:45 to play and the crowd inside the Crisler Center was ready to watch the home team make a run. A minute later Curtis Jones made his first shot of the game, with the score 46-40.
