BOX SCORE
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- Joe Crispin scored a team-high 24
points and had a hit a game-clinching basket from just beyond the
free-throw line as Penn State beat Clemson 85-75 Wednesday night.
Crispin, who shot 7-for-14 from the floor, answered a late
six-point Clemson run with 1:32 remaining to put Penn State (4-0)
ahead for good and then sank a free throw to increase the lead. The
Tigers' (2-4) rally had cut the margin to four points, 72-68.
Titus Ivory had 22 points and Jarrett Stephens had 19 for Penn State.
Penn State, playing Clemson for the first time as part of the
Big Ten/ACC Challenge, relied on good outside shooting (12-for-29
from beyond the arc) and racked up a dozen 3-pointers, one short of
a team record set in 1996 against Iowa.
Will Solomon led all scorers with a career-high 37 points on
13-for-27 shooting for Clemson. Edward Scott had 18 for the
visitors.
In the first half, Crispin and Ivory hit three 3-pointers apiece
to lead the Nittany Lions, who shot 8-for-16 (.500) from long
range, to a 34-27 halftime lead.
