Grrrr !! I want a win. Who is with me ????
Light crowd at the game due to Northwestern having a 14 day quarantine requirement on all students returning to the campus....
Northwestern up 9-2 on three straight 3 point shots. Penn State 0-2 on 3 point shots.
11-10 NW right now. 7 points by Harrar and 3 by Dread.
With the crowd being so light tonight, you can hear the coaches yelling "hands up..." 16-13 NW.
34-29 NW at the half. Too many Penn State turnovers (7 vs. 2 for NW). Penn State dominating the boards by +9 vs. NW. Most NW points have been 3 pointers (7 for 21 points). Harrar with 9 points, Pickett with 9 and Lundy with 8.
The game is starting to get out of hand. 44-36 NW. Too many NW 3 pointers (9 of 19) and too many Penn State turnovers (8 vs. 2 for NW). Penn State play has been sloppy all second half.
Timeout with 10 minutes remaining. 53-43 NW. Largest lead. NW has made 11 3-point shots. A total of 10 PSU turnovers in a sloppy Penn State game.
Penn State starts to play the best of their game at around 8 minutes left. Making 3 pointers and controlling the boards. Now at 3:10 remaining, a tied game at 59-59.
Big comeback win. From down 10 to win by 4 all in the second half.
Final 74-70 Penn State. The Nittany Lions are carried by Seth Lundy (2-3 pointers and a number of free throws) and Sam Sessoms (free throws) in the final 3 minutes to pull away. Penn State only lead for about 3 1/2 minutes of the 40 minute game.
Lundy leads Penn State with 23 points. Jalen Pickett adds 18.
They made some really tough shots late in the shot clock. That makes a huge difference.
