Penn State Nittany Lions Notes

Camren Wynter registered 18 points (7-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes during Thursday's 79-76 victory over Illinois. Wynter kept his team on track with a tidy shooting performance, though he wasn't as proficient from the free-throw line. Should the Nittany Lions continue to survive in March, Wynter can give some inspired performances in his senior season.

Texas A&M Aggies Notes

Dexter Dennis ended Saturday's 67-61 win over Alabama with 11 points (2-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and seven rebounds over 32 minutes. Despite missing 75 percent of his field goals, Dennis made all of his free throws and logged a good rebound tally as the 2022-23 Aggies upset No. 2 Alabama. They have a week to prepare for their first tournament game, which will be against either the SEC's No. 10 or Auburn.
