* FINAL: IU defeats Penn State 64-62.
The Hoosiers are 7-2 overall and 2-0 in conference play despite nearly throwing the game away against Penn State.
The Nittany Lions had the ball twice in the closing seconds with a chance to win the game, but Rasir Bolton missed a game-tying layup, then with 2.3 seconds left the Nittany Lions failed to get a shot off following an in-bounds play.
Rob Phinisee made the defensive stop on that play, and he was great in the second half and throughout the night for IU.
Ten of Phinisee's 12 points came in the second half, and he also recorded five rebounds and a block and a steal to go with just one turnover and some nice hustle plays. Al Durham joined Phinisee with 12 points on a pretty efficient shooting day for the sophomore guard.
Romeo Langford's big first half performance erased a slow start from the IU offense, but the freshman cooled down in the second half, although he still finished with 17 points to lead IU.
Rasir Bolton also played very well down the stretch for the home team, finishing with 17 points and at one point matching a feat done by Phinisee earlier in the game as both players went on 7-0 scoring runs for their team.
IU plays at home against Louisville on Saturday afternoon.
