STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Camren Wynter made a layup with less than a second remaining to lift Penn State over No. 21 Maryland 65-64 on Sunday.
Jalen Pickett scored 16 points, Andrew Funk had 14 and Myles Dread had 11 for the Nittany Lions (19-12, 10-10 Big Ten), who trailed by as many as 16 late in the first half.
Jahmir Young scored 14 of his 26 points in the second half for the Terps (20-11, 11-9), who entered the afternoon looking to earn the No. 2 seed in the Big Ten Tournament. Julian Reese had 12 points for the Terps, while Don Carey and Ian Martinez added 11 each.
The Nittany Lions were looking to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive, and did so with a second half in which they made 17 of 29 shots — including 6 of 16 from 3-point range — and went on a 17-5 run over the final five minutes.
Penn State jumped out to an early lead, but Maryland surged back with a 14-0 run that included five 3-pointers, including three from Martinez. The Nittany Lions also went cold for nearly eight minutes, going 0 for 10 from the field.
The Terps earned their biggest lead of the game with five seconds left in the half when Carey sank a jumper to make it 35-19. Pickett cut it to 35-22 with a 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer.
BIG PICTURE
Maryland: The Terps entered the day with a chance to be seeded as high as second in the Big Ten Tournament, depending on how the rest of Sunday’s conference games shake out. Penn State: Chances for an NCAA Tournament berth seemed to fade after coughing up a 19-point lead at home to Rutgers, but this win and a solid run through the Big Ten Tournament will give the Nittany Lions a shot to make their first NCAA appearance since 2011.
UP NEXT
Both teams will play in the Big Ten Tournament. Game times had not been set as of Sunday afternoon.
