...team’s next possession drove the lane and finished with a pretty floater. For his next act, the freshman combo guard picked the pocket of Penn guard Kevin Egee in the open court and managed to hang in the air just long enough to put in the fast-break layup while drawing a foul. The made free throw cut the lead down to 64-50.
