"I think the story line is we've got a bunch of selfless guys," coach Jerry Dunn said.
Crispin, who averages 16 shots per game, and before Saturday had only failed to reach double digits in attempts once all year with nine against Temple, was 5-6 from the field.
Four of those were threes, and 12 of his 20 points came after the ten minute mark in the second half, when the Nittany Lions held a 25 point lead, and the game was no longer in doubt. He took just three shots in the first half, and none between the 11-minute mark of the first half and the 10-minute mark of the second.
Crispin was tied for the team lead with five assists and had just three turnovers in 31 minutes of play.
"That to me is big," Dunn said of Crispin's selfless play. "To me, that's what it's all about."
Dunn was also pleased with the play of Cline-Heard, who shot 5-8 from the field for 13 points, and also had three assists.
"Gyasi did a real nice job inside," he said. "He did a nice job of kicking it out when he was getting double teamed inside."
The bench was the most involved they've been this season. Freshman Sharif Chambliss hit two big threes, and finished with eight points, second most by a bench player in a Big Ten game for the Lions. Sophomore Brandon Watkins also added four.
The Lions' balance, and their patience in shooting converted to season highs in field goal percentage at .580 and three-point field goal percentage at a blistering .682.
"I thought our guys were patient and tried to do a better job of screening, getting guys some open looks," Dunn said.
"They're playing very selfless right now, which I think is what you have to do to be a good basketball team."
