Penn State Shocks No. 4 Iowa, 79-75

The Nittany Lions stunned the Big Ten-leading Hawkeyes in State College and turned the conference's title race on its head.

It seemed like another typical night in State College against a highly-ranked opponent. Penn State began the evening with turnovers and their usual poor shooting. Then, something clicked - Shep Garner hit on back-to-back threes, Donovon Jack, the unquestioned star of the game, began producing the best moments of his PSU career. Most importantly, shots were falling for a team ranked near the absolute bottom of the country in three-point shooting.

Penn State made seven of their 14 first-half three-point attempts, and the confidence flowed from there.
