Brandon Taylor planted his feet just outside the 3-point line and sent the ball sailing high into the basket, finishing with a quick swish as a roar consumed the Bryce Jordan Center.
That crowd felt its furious energy bottled up while a timeout stalled the Lions' possession. With six and a half minutes remaining, Penn State led No. 22 Indiana 52-50. But the home crowd had seen such promising performances fall short before, including a loss against Wisconsin on Jan. 21.
Taylor's triple off the timeout wasn't the game-winner for the Nittany Lions (12-12, 3-8 Big Ten), who defeated the Hoosiers (19-5, 9-2), 68-63, on Saturday night.
