Penn State got a scare from Louisiana-Monroe, but a late second half surge secured the win for the Nittany Lions.
This game was the complete opposite of Thursday night's game against Canisius. Penn State battled from start to finish against a Louisana-Monroe team that likes to slow the game down and control it the same way Penn State does. The result was low-scoring game that was often as ugly as the score indicated.
Shep Garner was a non-factor for much of the game, playing only 7 minutes in the first half due to committing two personal fouls early.
