UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Fresh off a 20-point victory over Purdue on
Thursday night, the Nittany Lion basketball team (9-7, 1-2) is slated to take
on No. 12 Indiana (14-1, 2-1) inside the Bryce Jordan Center on Sunday at noon.
Boosted by a 21-point effort from junior forward Billy Oliver and a superb
defensive performance, the Lions stifled the visiting Boilermakers for their
first conference win of the season. Penn
State played hard for 40 minutes on Thursday night, and exuded the type of
effort Coach Chambers wants to see out his squad every time its steps onto the
floor.
Led by five players in double figures, Indiana is a very balanced offensive
basketball team that averages 51 percent shooting as a unit. Junior Christian Watford is averaging 20.3 points
and 7.7 rebounds per game in conference play.
Standout freshman Cody Zeller leads the team in scoring for the season
at 14.5 tallies per contest.
Indiana's lone loss came at the hands of Michigan State, but the Hoosiers have
victories over then No. 1 Kentucky and then No. 2 Ohio State. The Hoosiers are a very good basketball team
that can score in a large variety of ways.

clash with Indiana. Take a look.
