STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – A pair of Mastodons set career highs in scoring but Penn State rallied in the second half to defeat the Purdue Fort Wayne men's basketball team 102-89 on Wednesday (Nov. 20).
Jalen Jackson notched 31 points against the Nittany Lions. He broke his previous career high of 29 set just four days ago. Jackson was 10-of-12 from the line and 10-of-21 from the floor. He had just one turnover to go with two assists, two rebounds, a block and a steal.
Corey Hadnot II went 5-of-8 from three for a career-high 20 points. He also added five steals and three assists.
Eric Mulder totaled 12 points and 11 rebounds for his fifth career double-double. He showed the Big Ten Nittany Lions why he is one of the best offensive rebounds in the country, grabbing eight on the offensive glass. Mulder helped the 'Dons score 19 second chance points.
The 'Dons used an 8-1 run to go ahead 47-36 with 1:27 remaining in the first half. The 11-point lead was their largest lead of the game. The run forced a Penn State timeout after Quinton Morton-Robertson nailed a 3-pointer.
Purdue Fort Wayne was 6-of-13 from three in the first with Hadnot making three treys. He had 14 points in the opening half. Jackson finished with 15 on 6-of-11 shooting in the first. Penn State stayed in it with a 17-of-23 performance from the free throw line in the first half.
Penn State's Ace Baldwin Jr. started the second half with 10 consecutive points to give the Nittany Lions the lead back. Jackson followed later in the half with six straight points of his own to put the 'Dons up 62-61 with 13:53 left. But it would be Purdue Fort Wayne's only lead of the second half.
Baldwin Jr. finished with 25 points for the Penn State. The Nittany Lions shot 34-of-61 (55.7 percent). Purdue Fort Wayne finished at 44.3 percent (31-of-70).
Purdue Fort Wayne falls to 3-2. Penn State improves to 5-0. The game was part of the Sunshine Slam. The two teams will head to Daytona Beach next week. First up is a contest for the 'Dons against Drexel on Monday (Nov. 25) at 12:30 p.m.
