Penn State had been experiencing plenty of pain and suffering on the road this men’s college basketball season, but the Nittany Lions scrapped their way to a victory at Rutgers on Wednesday night. Penn State’s 61-46 victory at Rutgers was the first true road win of the season for the Nittany Lions. Prior to that, the only game Penn State had won away from State College was a matchup against Michigan in Philadelphia at The Palestra, where Penn State was officially playing a home-away-from-home game.
[autotag]Ace Baldwin Jr.[/autotag] rose to the occasion with 15 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, and 5 forced turnovers. Penn State needed that effort as they were without leading scorer [autotag]Kanye Clary[/autotag] due to injury. The defense forced 20 turnovers by Rutgers and [autotag]D’Marco Dunn[/autotag] filled in for the injured Clary with a 14-point effort in a starting role. [autotag]Quduus Wahab[/autotag] had 11 rebounds on the night as Penn State took care of the basketball.
