Given how well Penn State had been playing lately, especially being fresh off a huge upset win at Michigan State, one should have expected a higher-than-usual attendance for a Saturday afternoon home game rematch against Minnesota. What may not have been expected however, was the Bryce Jordan Center’s first sell-out since March 2011, which coincidentally, was also the last time PSU made the NCAA Tournament.
With a nearly full-to-the-rafters “White Out” crowd cheering them on, PSU jumped out to an 11-4 start, thanks to some quality free throw shooting from Lamar Stevens and Seth Lundy (who nailed all three of his FT’s after being fouled in the act of shooting a three-pointer).
