PSU Struggles versus Iowa 10:11 pm
In College Basketball news, the Penn State Men were in a similar situation on Sunday. They had one of the Top Teams in the Country on the ropes and once again they couldn’t finish the deal.
The Nittany Lions had a 5 point lead at Halftime against 11th ranked Iowa, but the Blue and White shot just 21% from the field in the 2nd Half and could not contain future Draft pick Luke Garza as the Hawkeyes pulled away to a 6 point Win. Meyron Jones, Myles Dread, and Izaiah Brockington were all in double figures on Sunday. Interim Head Coach Jim Ferry says his guys fought hard against one of the best, but a cold shooting stretch is what doomed them in the end.
“Obviously we get a lot of the attention, but in my opinion, we have nine All-Americans on the offense,” Ament said in between signing autographs on a frigid afternoon last February after he set the Penn State career points record during a 19-10 win at Villanova Stadium. “We ve got a lot of talent, and it’s really fun when everybody gets in the scoring column.”
Penn State returns veteran depth at almost every position. Midfielders Jack Kelly and Jack Traynor both registered double-digit goals in 2020. Kneese has started between the pipes since he was a true freshman. Arceri, an All-American faceoff specialist, ranked best in the Big Ten in ground balls per game last spring and set the program career record. TJ Malone, who is listed at attack but ran out of the midfield most the past two years and, like Ament, attended The Haverford School (Pa), scored nine goals in the final two games of 2020 alone.
