FINAL: No. 8 Indiana used stingy defense to defeat Penn State 72-49 on Wednesday at Assembly Hall. The Hoosiers (17-2) held Penn State (8-11) to 33 percent shooting from the field. Victor Oladipo helped lead the Hoosiers to victory, with 19 points, six rebounds, five assists, and 4-of-7 shooting from the field. Kevin Ferrell was 6-of-7 from the floor and chipped in a career-high 15 points for Indiana. The Hoosiers were hot from long range, hitting 11-of-20 threes for a 55 percent clip. Indiana, however, only went 21-of-37 from the charity stripe as a team (57 percent). D.J. Newbill contributed 18 points and hauled in seven rebounds for the Nittany Lions. Penn State also got a double-digit game from Jermaine Marshall (12 points).

HALFTIME: No. 8 Indiana held Penn State's offense to just eight first-half field goals, and the Hoosiers lead 33-19 at halftime. The rebounding edge belongs with Indiana, by a 24-18 margin on the boards. The Hoosiers, who never trailed and led by as many as 15 points, hit 42 percent (5-of-12) of their three-point attempts and registered seven assists on 10 baskets. The Hoosiers also applied the pressure in the first half, earning second-chance opportunities with nine offensive rebounds, to just four for the Nittany Lions.
