Film Session: Penn State
The second half of Indiana’s 76-73 win over Penn State featured the Hoosiers shutting down D.J. Newbill, some key Ryan Burton offensive rebounds and a return to form beyond the arc.

“We gave up some other things, but we didn’t get beat by D.J., and that’s crucial,” Crean said after the game. Newbill was just 1-for-6 in the second half and this strong secondary effort from Robinson was one of the reasons why.
