Good teams win in the paint.
They're going to get hurt this year. In the Nittany Lions first exhibition game last Friday night where they lost 113-109 to Marathon, the frontcourt scored a total of 21 points, combined. Penn State guard Joe Crispin goes for a layup during Friday night s game against Marathon. Gyasi Cline-Heard led the Lions frontcourt with 12 points, while adding 5 rebounds on the night. But Tyler Smith, Marcus Banta, Scott Witkowsky, Jarad Houston, Ndu Egekeze and B.J. Vossekuil all combined for a measly three points.
