Penn State men's basketball falls to Seton Hall in overtime for first loss of season

After putting together two important early nonconference victories to open its season, Penn State was less fortunate on Sunday against Seton Hall.

After coming out hot and dominating the opening 20 minutes, Penn State looked like a different team in the second half, which spelled the Nittany Lions' demise against the Pirates.

The Nittany Lions lost to Seton Hall 98-92 after giving up a double-digit halftime lead.

The Pirates’ pressure and inside presence brought them back into the game after a first half that saw them shoot just 1-for-12 from 3-point range.

A back-and-forth second half would eventually lead to overtime as Seton Hall showed its poise in crunch time.
