Due to COVID-19 issues the Nittany Lions had not played a basketball game since December 11th when they were defeated by Michigan State in East Lansing. In their return to the court the deck appeared to be stacked again Micah Shrewsberry’s Nittany Lions, who were underdogs to a 10-2 Indiana Hoosiers squad.
To the credit of Shrewsbery, his assistant coaches, and, most of all, his players, the Nittany Lions pulled the upset on Sunday afternoon. In front of a home crowd at the Bryce Jordan Center the Nittany Lions upset Indiana 61-58.
This was the first upset of the Shrewsberry Era.
