Penn State Hoops Swashbuckles Bahamas Pirates in First Game, Prepares to Face Canadian School in Second Game of Foreign Tour

Tuesday saw Penn State’s basketball team play the first of two exhibition games down in the Bahamas, with the Nittany Lions prevailing in blowout fashion, 113-65. Nick Kern led the way scoring-wise with 17 points, one of five Penn Staters to put up double figures, along with D’Marco Dunn pitching in 16 points himself, and Kanye Clary, Puff Johnson, and Jameel Brown all pitching in 13 each. Offensively, the Nittany Lions put up 26 assists on 40 made field goals, while defensively, the “havoc” pressure defensive system that Mike Rhoades seeks to employ, came up huge with 33 turnovers.
