Trey Galloway stepped up in crucial moments, knocking down clutch three-pointers when Penn State had taken a late lead, finishing with 16 points and 9 assists. Meanwhile, Oumar Ballo delivered a stellar performance filling in for Reneau with 20 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists in extended minutes. Myles Rice provided a second-half spark with 11 of his 13 points after intermission, including timely threes that helped seal the victory.
