Penn State scores five straight points coming out of the last media timeout of the half, cutting the Iowa lead to one. The momentum might be shifting here...
The Nittany Lions take the lead with an Andrew Jones slam. The Hawkeyes continue to double Talor Battle, and then struggle to guard everyone when the ball leaves his hands.
Iowa misses a long shot to end the half, and after what was a pretty sluggish first 18 minutes, Penn State surprisingly holds a 29-28 halftime lead.
