Two teams entered Indiana’s Assembly Hall tonight, only one walked away no longer winless in Big Ten play. Unfortunately, that team was not Penn State.
The Nittany Lions spotted the Hoosiers the first four points of the game before Myreon Jones nailed a three-pointer two and a half minutes in. The Lions would continue to struggle from the floor for most of the half, as they had more turnovers (5) than made field goals (3) going into the under-12 media timeout. Indiana meanwhile, kept PSU at bay with enough buckets to maintain a consistent 4-8 point lead.
Things went from ‘meh’ to worse when Jim Ferry was whistled for a technical foul after (rightfully) being livid at the referees for missing what seemed like an out-of-bounds call that instead ended up being a made trey for Indiana on the same possession.
