Imagine a five-on-one basketball game.

Actually, no imagination is needed if you were one of the 7,782 fans who watched Indiana defeat Penn State 75-56 at the Bryce Jordan Center.

Sophomore Aaron Johnson had career- and game-highs with 28 points and 15 rebounds, but it wasn't enough as the rest of his teammates could only match his 28 points.

"Offensively, without Aaron, I don't know how we score when Jan is not making any baskets and Marlon is not making any baskets," Penn State men's basketball coach Ed DeChellis said.

Indiana (12-9, 6-4 Big Ten) jumped out to an 8-0 lead and it was lights out from there for the Nittany Lions (9-11, 3-6).

Sophomore guard Bracey Wright scored 10 of the Hoosiers' first 22 points en route to a team-high 25-point performance against Penn State.

Wright, unlike Johnson, was buoyed by teammates; Marshall Strickland had 17 points and A.J. Moye also reached double digits, scoring 10.

The Lions played sloppy with the ball on offense, committing 16 turnovers, with freshman Marlon Smith and junior Jan Jagla accounting for nine.

Johnson was the only offensive presence on the court and continued to score, despite seeing double- and triple-teams.

When he passed the ball out of the double team, Robert Summers or Jagla would often be there to fumble the ball away.

"It's probably the first time he has seen a double team and he did a great job with passing the ball and he made some plays," Indiana men's basketball coach Mike Davis said.

The 7-foot Jagla was shut down once again by a smaller man, as the 6-foot-3 Moye held the Lions leading scorer to six points on 2-for-12 shooting from the field.

Smith, DeChellis' second scoring option, didn't fare much better, scoring six on an equally pitiful 3-for-14 performance.

Smith forced shots much of the night and did the same with his passes, many of which became turnovers.

The Lions came into the game with the goal of limiting Wright and Strickland.

Penn State reached neither goal as it combined to shoot 16-for-27 from the field, including 7-for-11 from three-point land.

"The two kids we focused on for two days to try and keep the ball out of their hands and really try to do a good job on are the guys that beat us," DeChellis said.

Both Johnson and freshman Ben Luber cited the team not playing 40 minutes of basketball as a reason for its lack of success.

Johnson said he would not call out any one player on the team, but thinks that the team's attitude as a whole needs to change.

"As a team, I think sometimes we just come out like we can beat anyone and that's not the case, and obviously it showed tonight," Johnson said.

Luber struggled to get open shots or create them for others.

He battled a stomach illness and vomited at halftime of the game, but said he was not affected.

As sick as Luber might have been, nothing was sicker than Penn State's performance coming off of a week layoff.
