The annual bowling fundraiser has generated more than $1.58 million to Riley Hospital for Children since its inception. In addition, Gordon made a pledge of $1.5 million to Riley Children’s Foundation in 2010, establishing the Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation Pediatric Cancer Research Fund.

The remaining $500,000 is addressing immediate research needs at Riley Hospital.

State College, PA, United States (AHN Sports) – The Maine Black Bears picked up a 74-64 road victory over the Penn State Nittany Lions Tuesday night at the Bryce Jordan Center. Maine led for the final 25 minutes and didn’t allow any substantial Penn State rallies en route to its fourth consecutive win.

Maine forward Murphy Burnatowski displayed a hot hand early and often by knocking down 14 of his team-high 20 points in the first half, and Maine’s 31-24 hafltime advantage represented the largest lead for either team in the first 20 minutes.

In the second half, Burnatowski took a backseat to reserve guard Terrance Mitchell, who tallied 12 of his 17 points after the break.

“Obviously, I’m proud of our guys. We’ve been playing some pretty good basketball lately,” Maine coach Ted Woodward said. “We have a lot of respect for Penn State because we know what kind of basketball team they’ve got. We withstood a couple of runs, and I’m very pleased going into the (nine-day) break that we’ve been able to keep it going.”

Penn State struggled to find an offensive rhythm for most of the night to the tune of a 38.6 field goal percentage, compared to Maine’s 52.6 percent.

“We had 20 more shots than they did and you’ve got to put some of them in the basket,” Pen State coach Ed DeChellis said. “We thought this team would give us a battle because they can make shots. This wasn’t a team that couldn’t score. Any time you play a team like that, you’ve got to do a good job defensively and we just didn’t do that.”

Penn State got big point totals from guard Talor Battle and forward David Jackson, who dropped 26 and 18 points, respectively, but the supporting cast failed to make much of an impact, as is usually the case when Penn State struggles. Maine’s bench outscored Penn State’s by a 30-10 margin.

The Nittany Lions, who are usually a good rebounding team both offensively and defensively, even struggled in that department as the Black Bears pulled down 35 boards compared to 27 by Penn State.

“We didn’t have too many offensive rebounds which is rare for us but you just got to give them credit. They got after it,” Jackson said. “I feel like we just didn’t play well. We were well-prepared and they didn’t surprise us with anything. We came out a little flat.”

After the game, Battle was taken to the hospital for an X-ray with soreness on his hand, which he appeared to injure in the game’s waning minutes. The severity of the injury is unknown.

The Black Bears (6-5) will look to win their fifth in a row after losing their previous four when they play host to Columbia on Thursday, Dec. 30.

“We’re very confident. We feel like we have a real good team spirit and that’s something that’s been beneficial to us,” Woodward said. “We are a very together group and we play together on both ends of the court.”

The Nittany Lions (7-4) will try to avoid their third consecutive loss when they open Big Ten play on the road against Indiana on Monday. DeChellis indicated that better play will be essential in order to compete in the perennially tough conference.

“We weren’t sharp, we didn’t make shots, and we didn’t defend the way we needed too,” DeChellis said. “Guys individually just need to play a little better.”

Jackson echoed his coach’s sentiments.

“We hate to lose, but at same time it’s a whole new season coming up,” Jackson said. “We’ve got to have a lot more focus and we’re going to be ready.”
