Andrew Jones opens with four quick points for Penn State early on. He had a strong game the other night against Fairfield on both sides of the ball. We'll see if he can keep the momentum going tonight.
The seniors are all attacking the bucket early in this game. Jones, Talor Battle and Jeff Brooks have all scored for Penn State in the early going as the Lions have staked themselves to a lead early here.
Defense starting off really strong. Penn State is forcing a lot of turnovers already and the Blue Devils didn't score until just before the media timeout, though they did get a couple of nice fast breaks to keep Penn State from running away with this thing early on.
Shemik Thompson and Ken Horton are both averaging over 20 points for Central Connecticut State. If the Lions can shut those two down, they should be able to handle this team.
With 15:14 to play, Penn State leads 9-4
