Tony Carr didn’t let a poor shooting performance deter him from taking over when Penn State needed him most Friday night against Nebraska.
He didn’t shy away from firing and hitting big shot after big shot in overtime to lead the Nittany Lions to a 76-74 win at the Bryce Jordan Center. The Penn State point guard capped his brilliant overtime — he accounted for nine of his team’s 11 points in the extra period — with the game-winning shot with 2.7 seconds remaining.
“My teammates and my coaches put that trust in me to take shots like that,” Carr said.
