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.
