The Penn State Nittany Lions rallied from a frustrating start but fell to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in Big Ten basketball action.
Riding the high of last week’s win over No. 8 Purdue, Penn State men’s basketball hit the road to continue Big Ten play against Rutgers. But the Nittany Lions fell behind by as many as 17 points against the Scarlet Knights, and a second-half comeback wasn’t enough in an 80-76 loss. Here’s what we learned about Penn State on Tuesday from its first true road game of the season.
Zach Hicks also impressed from deep, leading the team with 20 points on six made 3-pointers. Their efforts brought the Nittany Lions to within striking distance, but poor shot selection on the last few possessions ultimately prevented Penn State from tying the game or taking the lead.
