Indiana looked to be cruising to an easy road victory over Penn State Wednesday night. The Hoosiers held a 13-point lead with less than five minutes remaining before a frantic Nittany Lions’ rally knotted things up at 75-75 in the final seconds. Junior guard James Blackmon Jr. then decided he didn’t want to be part of an epic late-game collapse and knocked down a three-pointer as time expired to give Indiana a crucial victory.
