The Lions' Pride

Newbill coaxes in floater at buzzer to cap 14-point half.

36-32 Penn State, which is shooting just under 50 percent and is 5-of-9 from 3.

Second half underway. Frazier, as we mentioned, is out for the game but is walking around on the ankle now a bit near the bench.

Is it still wrapped up?

Treadwell pulls up and hits a short j.

40-39 Zips, three minutes in.

Fast break layup by Harney after Zeke block gives Akron 45-39 lead. Chambers takes a TO.

Gilliam picks Newbill's pocket and gets another fast-break layup.

49-41. Lions giving up too many points in transition and having trouble with Akron's pressure.

Walsh 3, then Bettencourt another steal.

54-41. This one getting away from Penn State in a hurry.

ross travis looks like he almost took a step back, not sliding in front of his man, and looks lost on defensive pick ups

Game over. PSU had better hope that Frazier's injury is not really bad.

5 days to rest until Bucknell, then 10 days prior to the next game. Hopefully Frazier won't be out longer than that...

Lions switch to 2-3 zone ... Akron gets a dunk.

Not Penn State's day.

Betancourt drive makes it 72-50. Lions' offense has cooled considerably after hot start.
