Grading the Scarlet Knights after their big home win over Penn State.
in Piscataway on Tuesday, a much-needed result after a 20-day road trip in which it lost four of its last five games. earn a crucial first Quadrant 1 win , split their two December conference games and gain some momentum before a crucial December slate that they must sweep to stay on track for the NCAA Tournament.: 24 points on 8-of-14 shooting , 12 rebounds, five assists, two turnovers, two blocks, one steal, zero fouls in 34 minutes.
The only thing to nitpick from this game was three trips to the free throw line in the second half in which he went 1-of-2, keeping the door open for a Penn State comeback. But he made up for it with key plays in the second half, from a chase down block on Baldwin and some of the most impressive passes and finishes he’ll have this season.: 15 points on 6-of-14 shooting , 15 rebounds, three turnovers, two blocks, one steal, two fouls in 32 minutes.
The captain had a tough day at the rim but made up for it everywhere else. He dished some dimes — should have had two more assists to center Emmanuel Ogbole, who dropped the passes — and defended decently. Williams hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to put the Scarlet Knights up 15 at halftime, and with Penn State coming within 2 points with two minutes to play, it proved to be a crucial bucket.
