Penn State Defeats George Washington 64-51
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — D.J. Newbill scored 20 points, Brandon Taylor added 17 and Penn State defeated George Washington 64-51 Sunday for its eighth straight win.
The Nittany Lions (10-1), who also got 10 points from Shep Garner, shot 38.7 percent from the field and were a perfect 9 of 9 from the free throw line.
George Washington, which was led by 15 points each from Kevin Larsen and Patricio Garino, consistently shot from under the basket but made good on only 18 of 53 shots for 34 percent.
The Colonials (6-3) failed to score on eight 3-point shots and were just 15 of 23 from the foul line.
Penn State's 10-1 start is its best since the 1995-96 team jumped out to a 13-0 record and ultimately advanced to the NCAA Tournament.
Ten rebounds from Ross Travis enabled the Lions to outrebound GW 40-35.
