Who Rang the Victory Bell

#1 — Jamari Wheeler

If I told you a Penn State starter went 4-9 from beyond the arc, only committed one foul and finished with a team high 18 points, you’d think Myreon Jones.

Perhaps playing for former coach Pat Chambers.

Instead, Jamari Wheeler produced a career high in points and hit four three pointers, with a few more just rimming out.

Wheeler cemented his place as the team leader after the graduation of Stevens and Watkins by controlling both ends of the floor throughout.
