In what will be a familiar tone this year, Penn State Basketball battled hard against a Purdue team that simply is just the better team as the Nittany Lions fell 80-72 in West Lafayette Sunday, in their first game back since the COVID-related pause of team activities.

Penn State Basketball fell down by seven points in the first half, but after Purdue star center Travion Williams was called for his second foul, Penn State Basketball used the mid-range game from Brockington and Jones to take a two point lead.
