Penn State 65, Rutgers 64: Survive and Advance

After leading by 21 points, Penn State let the Scarlet Knights back in the game and found themselves trailing by 2 points with less than a minute to play. Myles Dread hit a 3-point shot to give the Lions the lead and a defensive stop iced it. It was a critical win for the team, who moves into a tie for second place in the Big Ten.

Jamari Wheeler and Izaiah Brockington each hit 3-pointers early, which helped fill the void left by Myreon Jones, who was out for the 6th game. The Lions led 10-2 at the first break.
