Centre Daily Times | 12/22/2004 | Nittany Lions buffaloed by Bulls:
“Games like this aren’t lost on the final possession. They’re decided by the turnover in the first half, the missed free throws early in the second half or any number of other plays along the way.
“So when someone hits a shot at the buzzer, as Buffalo’s Turner Battle did to give the Bulls a 72-70 win over Penn State Tuesday at the Bryce Jordan Center, those two points shouldn’t mean any more or less than those which preceded it.
“It never quite feels that way, though.
After Marlon Smith’s layup tied the game with six seconds remaining, Battle drove the lane, spun and hit a floater as time expired to give the Bulls (7-2) their first defeat of the Nittany Lions (5-5) in 36 years.”
