Jamari Wheeler rings the Bell

He was quiet in the second half (perhaps as a result of an apparent knee injury) but Penn State would have been blown out of the gym if not for Jamari Wheeler’s first half performance.

Wheeler finished with 11 points, seven rebounds, and six assists. He’ll always have his offensive limitations but he balled out in the first half, keeping us in the game when OSU was shooting the lights out.

Yeah, Myreon Jones finished with more points but give Jamari the credit he deserved for keeping this one close.
