Men's basketball: Lions battle for 2 OTs, miss chance at good road win

Penn State and Clemson played a thrilling game Tuesday night that went into double-overtime and saw both teams display great resiliency at times.

The Nittany Lions were in position to pick up a good road win, but that eluded them as they fell to the Tigers, 101-94, in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge at Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson, S.C.

This is one of those intriguing types of early season outcomes in college basketball, particularly for a team like Penn State. The Lions could be on the NCAA Tournament bubble down the road, and if so, they will need to be able to point to a number of quality victories.
