Indiana's James Blackmon Jr. Defeats Penn State with Buzzer-Beater 3

Zac Wassink

With a little over a minute remaining, the Penn State Nittany Lions did well to erase a 75-67 deficit in their home game versus the Indiana Hoosiers on Wednesday. But guard James Blackmon Jr. ensured those efforts were in vain on the final shot of the night. 

With less than five seconds on the clock and the contest tied at 75, Blackmon received an inbounds pass and then dribbled across midcourt to the edge of the three-point line.

The junior remained calm with a defender in his face, and he drained his shot as time expired to silence the Bryce Jordan Center crowd. 

Indiana improved to 13-6 overall and 3-3 in Big Ten play, while the Nittany Lions dropped to 11-8 and 3-3 in the conference.
