Analysis: Sing a song for Fury, the new heavyweight champion

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. &mdash; In a game full of wild swings, Indiana boxed out No. 9 Penn State.
				The Hoosiers let a 19-point first-half lead completely disappear, fell behind by six and then rallied for a 68-60 victory Sunday.
				&ldquo;We play the game in 10 four-minute battles or rounds like a fight,&rdquo; Indiana coach Archie Miller said. &ldquo;There is going to be swings and you have to fight through it and find way to weather it.&rdquo;
				Al Durham scored 14 points and Trayce Jackson-Davis had 13 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Hoosiers (18-9, 8-8 Big Ten).
				&ldquo;We got off to great start and should have had a bigger lead going into halftime, but we made some dumb errors,&rdquo; Miller said. &ldquo;We took a huge punch in the second half and times this year that punch has hurt us a lot more. &ldquo;
				Devonte Green contributed 10 points for the Hoosiers, who made their final four free throws to help seal the win.
				&ldquo;At the end of the game, we made almost every single hard hustle play,&rdquo; Miller said. &ldquo;We were able to make some plays when it was tough. We found a way to finish. For the most part, we played smart. We fought and finished the last two games well defensively.&rdquo;
				Lamar Stevens, who was plagued with foul trouble all game, led Penn State (20-7, 10-6) with 29 points on 11-of-27 shooting.
				&ldquo;Lamar was great but he needs help,&rdquo; Penn State coach Patrick Chambers said. &ldquo;When we are successful we are sharing the basketball. We were relying on one guy.&rdquo;
				Penn State has been without Myreon Jones, who is averaging 14.1 points, who has missed the last five games with an undisclosed illness.
				&ldquo;You have give them a little bit of a pass when you have a guy that good that is not playing,&rdquo; Miller said. &ldquo;Hopefully, he comes back because they are having a great year. They always grind you out and play hard.&rdquo;
				The Nittany Lions opened the second half with 12 unanswered points to slice Indiana&rsquo;s 13-point halftime lead to 37-36. The Hoosiers&rsquo; cold streak continued as Penn State took a 48-42 lead with 12:17 left.
				&ldquo;We came out at halftime and punched back,&rdquo; Chambers said, echoing the boxing theme. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s a tough environment and we competed until the end.&rdquo;
				In a game of long scoring droughts by each team, the Hoosiers regained control with a 11-0 run punctuated by a dunk by Jackson-Davis to take a 55-48 lead.
				Justin Smith, who had nine points and eight rebounds, said the Hoosiers have been resilient in winning three of the last four games. Indiana topped host Minnesota 68-56 on Wednesday night.
				&ldquo;We lose a couple in a row and everyone wants to count us out and freak out,&rdquo; Smith said. &ldquo;We never waver. This is a tough league. All the teams are good pretty much. They are going to get you a couple times. We&rsquo;ve responded well and we&rsquo;re going to work on the momentum going forward.&rdquo;
				BIG PICTURE:Indiana: The Hoosiers have now won three of their last four games and improved their NCAA Tournament hopes with a victory over a ranked team.
				Penn State: After winning eight in a row, the Nittany Lions have cooled off. They have lost two in a row and saw their hopes for a Big Ten regular season title diminished. The Nittany Lions will need to find another scoring option if Jones doesn&rsquo;t return from his illness soon.
				POLL IMPLICATIONS:Penn State will likely drop several spots in the rankings after losing to unranked Illinois at home on Tuesday night and now unranked Indiana.
