A weird game for Penn State.  They were terrible in the 1st half with 8 turnovers and overall poor shooting.  Down 35-22 at the half, it looked like Penn State would need a miracle to win this one.  And it came in the form of a last second shot by Camren Wynter.

Penn State was behind by as much as 17 at one point in time.  But with roughly 6:49 remaining in the game and behind by 12, Penn State staged a comeback that was just marvelous.  Tough defense and clutch shooting led to Andrew Funk seemingly tying the game at 63-63 with less than a minute to go.  But a review of Funk's clutch shot led to it being declared a 2 point field goal instead of a 3 pointer.  So the score was adjusted to 63-62 with Maryland ahead.

In the end, the game was left in Seth Lundy's hands with a 3 pointer with only 5 seconds left.  The shot was off but an aggressive Camren Wynter flew to the basket, got a key rebound and put up a shot with only 0.5 seconds left on the clock.  The key 2 point shot put Penn State over the top at 65-64 and the BJC went wild.

Jalen Pickett led the Lions with 16 points.  Funk contributed 14 and Myles Dread added 11.  Camren Wynter had 6 but 2 points of the 6 came with that critical last second shot.  A shot that keeps the Lions NCAA tournament hopes alive.

Penn State will play in the #7 - #10 seeded game in the Big Ten Tournament on Thursday.
