Indiana led by nearly 20 points in the first half but the Lions came back to take the lead early in the second half. It was a very competitive game on the road for the Lions, who played without Myreon Jones for the 5th game in a row.
Just a few minutes in the Hoosiers went on a 12-1 run, taking a 14-5 lead. Mike Watkins hit a free throw to break the run. Indiana started 6 of 8 from the floor and Penn State was just 2 of 8.
Pat Chambers called timeout just 8 seconds short of the under-12 stoppage when the lead got to 12.
