The Lions' Pride

Marshall 3 snaps nearly six-minute field goal drought.

Lions back on top 30-28 before Olah reties it with 10-footer.

30-30, 1:27 left in half.

Marshall has 13 points for Penn State, which has 11 field goals and 10 turnovers. Lions shooting 48 percent.

Sobolewski with eight for NW, which has eight field goals and 10 turnovers. Wildcats at 36 percent.

Nobody stops Newbill in transition. Wildcats not any better to open second half than they were to open first.

38-30, 16:40 left.

Newbill 3 makes it 44-32 Penn State as we go under 15 minutes.

Lions look like they can taste this one, but lots of time left ...

1-3-1 taking Lions out of rhythm a bit.

Wildcats have it back to eight, 45-37, 13:09 left

This game is so frustrating.....as soon as PSU gets up by10-12 points, they let NW storm right back.....now back to a 5 point lead nd NW going to the line. Travis and Newbill have both missed layup type shots over the past two minutes too.

Ugh.

Chambers' expression after Marshall whistled for travel there was priceless.

Travis throws outlet pass into scorer's table, then Marcotullio hits 3.

Sasa responds again, though, and it's 53-48, 7:45 to play.

That was a BS call too. If it were NW driving, that would have been a foul on PSU.

Hearn and-one makes it 53-51.

And Marcotullio -- who somehow has 20 points -- gives Wildcats 54-53 lead with 6 minutes to play.

Pretty sure Sasa has about 60 percent of his career points against Northwestern. He has 13 tonight. Lions back on top 55-54.

Northwestern's interior defense is worse than Penn State's. I did not think that was possible.

57-54 after Newbill drive. Travis headed to line with 3:51 left.
