Lamar Stevens and Mike Watkins dominated inside to lead Penn State to a 78-63 win over Northwestern at the Bryce Jordan Center on Friday night.
Stevens scored a career-high 30 points to lead the Nittany Lions (12-5, 2-2 Big Ten), while Watkins added 18 points and 17 rebounds.
“They were just too much for us,” Northwestern coach Chris Collins said. “They beat us up in the paint on drives and post-ups. It was just too much for us to overcome tonight.”
Stevens and Watkins set the tone in the first half, combining to go 11-for-12 from the field.
