Penn State Snaps Losing Streak vs Iowa

0:00On March 2nd, Penn State's men's basketball team grabbed a much-needed Big 10 victory over Iowa on Saturday night at the Bryce Jordan Center. Friday Dillon sealed it with two free throws in the closing seconds, handing the nitty-lions a tight win after a back-and-forth battle. The team showed sharp improvement from the field, hitting over 57% of shots in the second half, and more than 54% from. Three-point range for the game, that hot shooting matched Iowa's strong play, but the Hawkeyes kept it close with three key runs, including a 9-to-nothing spurt late in the second half. Fans have been frustrated with Penn State's up-and-down season so far, full of close calls that usually end in defeat. This rare road to home win, led by Josh Reed's 25 points in Dillon's 15, brought some real excitement and hope to the supporters. Reed and Dillon stepped up big when it mattered most, helping the nitty-nitty lions avoid another collapse and snap a tough stretch in conference play. Penn State wraps up its regular season home games Wednesday night against Ohio State at 730 Eastern Time, with a chance to build momentum, heading into the postseason.
