Shorthanded Penn State men’s basketball drops road game at Indiana

A lack of defensive effort is becoming a common theme for Penn State this season and it’s now resulted in another road loss in Assembly Hall.

The Nittany Lions fell to Indiana 74-70 on Tuesday night, falling back under .500 in Big Ten play at 2-3.

Pat Chambers and company headed into this latest three-game stretch with a chance to improve to 5-2 with three winnable games.

But once again it was a lack of execution, particularly on the defensive end, that put the Nittany Lions fell behind early and they ultimately weren’t able to recover.
