It’s nice to be wrong sometimes. Penn State came in off a mildly disappointing OT loss against DePaul. It felt like the set-up for a typical letdown in a preseason tournament against a veteran mid-major program. Wright State, returning four starters from a NCAA tournament team, was a team I thought would challenge Penn State for the majority of the game. The Nittany Lions came out fast, held firm, and then built up a sizeable lead that lasted the entirety of the second half.
Lamar Stevens dominated. He scored 25 points in 25 minutes of play.
