The Colonials built a large lead early in the second half and never let Penn State get all that close again.
A road game against a top-50 ranked KenPom team? Let's just say this was not expected to be a win by any Penn State fans heading into the season, and the early going did nothing to assuage those concerns. George Washington had beaten sixth-ranked Virginia earlier this season on their home floor, and they are considered a favorite for the Atlantic-10 crown. Meanwhile, the Nittany Lions have been floating just above the surface since back-to-back losses to Duquesne and Radford.
