“From CDT staff and wire reports
“BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The streak isn’t ready to die yet.
“Another inspired road performance by Penn State resulted in another road loss Wednesday, as Indiana hung on to defeat the Nittany Lions 68-63.
“Geary Claxton led Penn State (7-14, 1-7 Big Ten) with 16 points and Travis Parker added 15 as the Nittany Lions battled back from an early deficit and took a rare second-half lead before dropping their 28th consecutive Big Ten road game.
“A long 3-pointer from Mike Walker and two free throws from Claxton got Penn State within three, 66-63, with 1:16 left. Claxton’s runner on the ensuing possession fell just short and Indiana’s Marshall Strickland drained two free throws to ice the game.
“Penn State freshman guard Danny Morrissey left the game with a knee injury three minutes before the half and did not return. He is scheduled to have an MRI today. The five Nittany Lion starters played every minute of the second half until Ben Luber fouled out in the final seconds.
“Walker had 11 points, including three 3-pointers, and Aaron Johnson finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds after being held scoreless in the first half. Hoosiers freshman sensation D.J. White took only three shots, hitting two, and finished with six points, while fellow freshman A.J. Ratliff had 11 of his 13 in the first half. …”
