Centre Daily Times | Pitt turns back Nittany Lions:
“Mike Walker looked first at Carl Krauser, then at the healthy cushion Pittsburgh’s junior point guard was giving him at the top of the key.
Then the Penn State freshman calmly released the ball and watched it arc some 27 feet into the basket.
” ‘I turned my head,’ Krauser recalled later, ‘and I saw the three-ball go up from yesterday.’
“Walker and the Nittany Lions were full of surprises during Saturday’s intrastate showdown with the No. 11 Panthers, full of energy and full of resolve.
“They could have used a little defense.
“Behind a masterful floor game from Krauser, who scored a career-high 28 points, the Panthers (7-0) shot 58 percent from the field and led for all but 39 seconds of a 84-71 win before a revved-up crowd of 11,980 at the Bryce Jordan Center. “
