Penn State 81, Georgetown 66: The First Test Was A Success

It was a wire to wire win on the road in what was the toughest challenge of the season for Pat Chambers and his team. After coming out hot, led by a scoring outburst by Myreon Jones, the Lions never looked back.

The defense came to play for both teams. Penn State had 7 points, 3 blocks and 2 steals before giving up its first basket. The Hoyas came out double-teaming Lamar Stevens every time he touched the ball so there were opportunities for other players.

Myreon Jones had 14 quick points and the Lions led 16-5 at the first break.
