MARSHALL, DEC. 7: The Nittany Lions will travel to Marshall for a 6 p.m. game Saturday at the Cam Henderson Center in Huntington, W.Va. It is Penn State's first trip to Marshall since 1992 and is a return to the Herd's 2013 trip to Happy Valley.
All five starters turned in double figure scoring efforts as the Penn State men's basketball team downed Marshall, 90-77, on Dec. 7 at the Bryce Jordan Center. Ross Travis and Donovon Jack set the pace for the Lions, tallying 20 and 18 points, respectively.
Jack entered Penn State's single-game record books after blocking a career-high seven shots, which ties Calvin Booth's (Bradley, 1999) effort for 10th all-time. The forward also pulled down a team-high seven rebounds in the win while Travis tacked on six boards and two assists.
