Indiana basketball beats Penn State to advance in Big Ten tournament

Make that five in a row for Indiana basketball. The Hoosiers (19-13) are moving on to the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tournament after a 61-59 win over Penn State (16-17) in the second round in Minneapolis.

Here’s why IU is moving on.

Anthony Leal wins the game

With the score tied at 59-59, Malik Reneau’s game-winning attempt from just inside the foul line came off the right side of the rim. But there was Anthony Leal.

Leal came flying in from the right corner to put the ball back up and in with five seconds left to win the game for Indiana. Leal’s second made field goal of the night was the most important of them all. The senior guard finished with eight crucial points to get the Hoosiers the win.
