Defense
Grade: A+
Another complete effort on defense which follows up what we all saw in the Big Ten tournament. The Aggies were held to shooting 33% from the field overall and just 29% from beyond the arc. When the defense is that tight on the three-point shooting and the offense is hitting them, no one can catch this team.
Rounding things out, Penn State forced 10 turnovers on them while also locking down a 26-point lead at one point in the game. Crashing the boards and attacking anyone who drives in the lane while also closing out on every shot is a formula for success and a testament to how well [autotag]Micah Shrewsberry[/autotag] has coached this team.
