STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Indiana is showing some fight to begin the second half.

The Hoosiers trailed Penn State by 13 points, but they went on an 8-0 run early in the second half to trim the Nittany Lions' lead to five. The run was capped off by a crafty move from Indiana star power forward Trayce Jackson-Davis.

Jackson-Davis set a screen for Jalen Hood-Schifino, who passed the ball back to Jackson-Davis just below the free throw line. Jackson-Davis spun through the lane and dropped the ball over the rim with his left hand. This basket cut Penn State's lead to 39-34, just under the 17-minute mark of the second half.
