After his team's 102-89 home win on Wednesday night over Purdue Fort Wayne, Penn State coach Mike Rhoades challenged his team's fan base to show up and make more noise. "Sweat with us," he said at one point. At 5-0, the Nittany Lions haven't had to sweat much to get off to a fast start. They might not have to expend much perspiration to make it 6-0 on Monday when they meet Fordham in a semifinal matchup at the Sunshine Slam tournament in Daytona Beach, Fla. Penn State hasn't played a strong schedule so far, but the team has been impressive. It's averaging 98.2 points per game and 13.8 steals per game, both of which ranked second in Division I through Saturday's play. The Nittany Lions were seventh per kenpom.com in turnover rate, forcing 25.3 per 100 possessions. Point guard Ace Baldwin Jr. is leading the charge, scoring 16.4 points and dishing out 7.8 assists while chipping in 2.6 steals. Zach Hicks has nearly doubled his scoring average from 8.4 last season to 15.8 this season, while Northern Illinois transfer Yanic Konan Niederhauser has beefed up the interior, tallying 12.2 points and 7.2 rebounds. Meanwhile, Fordham (3-3) is coming off a 73-71 home loss Friday night against Drexel in New York. The Rams blew a seven-point lead early in the second half and missed a chance to force overtime when leading scorer Jackie Johnson III missed a layup as time expired. Johnson, a UNLV transfer, is averaging 19 points per game and is making nearly 48 percent of his shots as one of three Rams with double-figure scoring averages. Jahmere Tripp scores at an 11.0 clip while Japhet Medor is contributed 10.5, but Fordham is struggling to make shots, canning only 41.5 percent from the field. The Rams were picked for a 14th-place finish in the Atlantic 10 despite returning more scoring than any team in the league except for VCU. Third-year coach Keith Urgo thinks his team can defy low external expectations. "We're experienced and I think we're poised to have a tremendous year," he said. --Field Level MediaThrivent Financial for Lutherans Has $5.42 Million Stock Position in DuPont de Nemours, Inc.

Announces Exploration Success in Ecuador and Strategic Joint Venture Transaction and Partnership to Accelerate Value in High-Impact Canadian Montney Oil Play with Logan Energy Corp.The Bryan girls basketball team found plenty of success this season through its numerous zone defenses they throw at teams. The Lady Vikings went with a 1-2-2 defensive approach in the first half against Fulshear on Tuesday, which gave them fits. The Lady Vikings then switched up their defensive scheme, which Fulshear took advantage of. The zone switch-up and lack of consistent offense ended up hampering the Lady Vikings in a 49-44 loss to the Lady Chargers at Viking Gym. To combat Fulshear’s best 3-point shooting assets, the Lady Vikings switched to a triangle and two defense. Before they could go back to the 1-2-2, the damage was done and Fulshear found enough rhythm from beyond the arc to carry them to victory. Fulshear connected on five 3-pointers in the third quarter that helped elevate a 17-1 scoring run that spilled over into the fourth quarter. “We just weren’t contesting the three in the third quarter and that was when they went on their one run,” Bryan head coach Treasure Jackson said. Bryan (9-5) held a 36-29 lead in the early stages of the third quarter until the Lady Chargers would cut into it, beginning with freshman guard Amariah Cunningham’s 3-pointer. Sophomore guard Pfeiffer Greene presented an encore on the next possession to trim Bryan’s lead to 36-35 and force a Jackson timeout. The two combined for 32 points and five of the team’s eight made shots from beyond the arc. The run didn’t stop as Cunningham cashed another 3-pointer to take its first lead right before the end of the third quarter. On the other end of the court, Bryan went on a serious drought, going over eight minutes without a field goal until junior guard Avery Archer drilled a 3-pointer with three minutes left in the game. “They beat us in the third quarter,” Jackson said ...”We were in a defense that should have been able to contest that three-[point] shot, and we just didn’t get out to do it.” Despite the serious run they conceited, Bryan still had a chance late down 47-44 with 11 seconds left, but a missed 3-pointer and two Fulshear free throws sealed its fate. In the first half, the 1-2-2 Bryan defense created havoc, forcing 10 turnovers and the Lady Chargers shot just eight of 25 from the field (32%). Both offenses got off to slow starts, but Bryan found some consistency although the Lady Vikings felt they could’ve had more. They forced six turnovers in the first quarter but got just three points off of them. Senior forward Kayleigh Murphy was big, with four offensive rebounds and five total in the first. Murphy ended the game with a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. In the first half, Bryan shot 28.6 percent from the field and connected on just three of 14 from beyond the arc. “We had a hard time scoring this game,” Jackson said. “We ran through a couple of our offenses and we just couldn’t get the ball where it needed to go.” At the half, Bryan held on to a 27-19 lead, with the zone defense forcing 10 Fulshear turnovers, almost all of them exclusively on Fulshear’s side of the court. Another driving force for the lead was rebounding, mainly offensive rebounds. The Lady Vikings outrebounded Fulshear on the night, 41-30, including 15 total offensive rebounds, eight of them in the first half. Despite the numerous second chances, Bryan left empty-handed on those possessions more times than not. “They had a couple of big people down low, and we haven’t faced that quite yet, [players] that are as aggressive as their post players, and so being able to finish through that contact and being hit and still being able to finish is something we got to work on,” Jackson said. Archer was one of the driving forces, with 13 rebounds, to go with a team-leading 13 points. She has spent this past week, rattling off personal milestones. The junior has already reached 1,000 career points and grabbed rebound No. 500 on Monday in the team’s 69-49 win over Richmond Foster. The Lady Vikings celebrated both of those milestones on Monday. Bryan is off for Thanksgiving break before hosting Houston Alief Elsik at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 6.
