A careless turnover. A freshman miscue. An easy fast break bucket for the Nittany Lions.
Not so fast. Or well, very fast, the true freshman, Jaden Ivey, as he threw away the idea of moping after his dribble was taken from him, and then threw away the lay-up attempt by * Name redacted for the sake of the player’s family *
I mean... Ivey stole that man’s dignity, maybe we should leave him his anonymity?

It was a proper metaphor for a game that Coach Painter’s Boilermakers dominated from the start and kept dominating to one of their most demonstrative victories of the season, handling Penn State 75-58/
Jaden Ivey’s chase down block was one of just four blocks for the true freshman who also threw in a highlight dunk after one of his three steals for two of his 14 points.
