Penn State men’s basketball (8-13, 5-12 Big Ten) couldn’t find its stroke shooting the ball Friday night, as it lost to the Purdue Boilermakers (16-8, 11-6) Big Ten 73-52. The Nittany Lions only made six threes all game, and shot 37% from the floor. It was the largest win for the Boilermakers in Happy Valley since 2008.
Myreon Jones led the team with 11 points, while John Harrar, Myles Dread, and Jamari Wheeler contributed nine points each.
How It Happened
Jamari Wheeler got the scoring started with a three-point basket. After a couple back-to-back stellar defensive possessions, Myles Dread was able to knock down a three. The aggressiveness kept Purdue on its toes.
I’ve been for a walk on a winter’s day, even though I’m not particularly a winter person. But I do like a brisk, mid-winter walk, so that’s what I did this past week on one of those clear, frigid days.
