Penn State men’s basketball (15-16, 9-11) defeated Maryland (15-16, 7-13) in convincing fashion in its regular-season finale Saturday evening at the Bryce Jordan Center. Maryland has not won at the BJC in more than nine years.
The Nittany Lions honored seven seniors before the game as part of their Senior Night festivities: Ace Baldwin Jr., Puff Johnson, Leo O’Boyle, Dan Conlan, RayQuawndis Mitchell, Qudus Wahab, and Andy Christos. Both Baldwin Jr. and Johnson have one more year of eligibility.
Both teams came out of the gates firing but Penn State took the early lead thanks to a D’Marco Dunn triple and some gritty play by Wahab.
