Penn State hangs on to pull off upset of No. 4 Iowa

“We’re not done but it feels great”. “We’ve got to make it helpful, get some guys who are maybe banged up get them some rest, get their bodies ready for this last stretch of this season”.

“It’s somewhat of a relief and somewhat justified”, first-year coach Chris Mullin said. “They have to break through themselves”. It is hard to win on the road in the Big Ten. Who will win this game? “It feels good to be on the winning side for change”. “We had more turnovers than assists and that is not us”.

(At) Texas Tech 65, No. 3 Oklahoma 63: Aaron Ross scored 17 and Keenan Evans added 14 as Texas Tech picked up its third straight victory over a Top 25 team. NU was unable to cut into the lead all that much and Penn State simply ran out the clock on a 19-point win, clinching a regular season sweep of the Wildcats. It’s not for a lack of effort or a lack of even potential, things just never seem to go his way.

The Hawkeyes connected on only 41 percent for the game and made only eight of 24 from three point range. The Red Storm went on to lead by 20 with 6 minutes to play. That was as close as NU would get, as PSU closed the quarter on an 8-0 run to take a 25-14 lead.

Chinanu Onuaku added 13 points and 15 rebounds for Louisville.

“From a basketball point it was brutal”, Mullin said of the streak. Uthoff has contunued take over games, especially in the scare against aforementioned Minnesota. They have to perform. But they differ on whether an idle weekend is best for the team.

Jack’s 19 points were a career-high, as he, Garner and Taylor were the only Lions in double figures.

“We just kept fighting to the end”, McCaffery said.

Taylor was fouled and connected on one of two free throws, and the usually sure-handed Hawkeyes committed their 13th turnover of the night to end the game. Jack’s 19 setting the pace while Isaiah Washington and Payton Banks gutted out 9 and 8 points respectively.

On the season, Iowa basketball averages 80.3 points, 38.4 rebounds and 16.4 assists per game.

Iowa is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS loss.

Marquette Catholic grad Ryan Fazekas started for Providence. They have just one conference victory away from home. Junior guard Ashley Deary failed to make much of an impact for NU offensively, scoring just 5 points and turning the ball over four times on a night when the Cats would need all of their players clicking to pull off a comeback. He was 5 for 8 from the line Wednesday.

Garner, who missed his previous 16 3-point attempts over the past three games, had 14 first-half points, connecting on four of five 3-point tries.

“Billy doesn’t rely on speed and quickness for his game and he said he was OK and he tried to tough it out”, Leitao said.

(At) No. 11 Miami (Fla.) 65, Virginia Tech 49: Miami overcame a seven-point first-half deficit and held Virginia Tech to a season-low 29.6 percent shooting. St. John’s entered the game first in the Big East and sixth in Division I in blocked shots at 5.9 per game.

DePaul hosts Marquette on Saturday.
