No. 4 — November 24, 2015 (Bryce Jordan Center): Radford 86, Penn State 74

A season that is more remembered for upsetting No. 4 Iowa and winning a then impressive seven conference games (out of 18, not 20), started slowly.

The Big South’s Radford Highlanders visited the Bryce Jordan Center and basically didn’t miss.

Radford shot 56.4% from the field, 54.5% from and despite only five Penn State turnovers versus the Highlanders 40 miunte press, Penn State struggled to put together any type of offense.

Radford hit 12 threees and was 31-55 from the field, PSU only turned it over 5 times vs press all game. Julian Moore led the team 16 points on 7-11 shooting and Brandon Taylor added 14 to go along with Shep Garner’s 9 (on just 1-5 shooting from three point land).

Final KenPom rankings: Radford 222, Penn State 140
