UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Murphy Burnatowski scored 20 points and Terrance Mitchell added 17 as Maine beat Penn State 74-64 on Tuesday.

The Bears (6-5), who won their fourth straight game, led by double digits for the majority of the final 10 minutes and by as many as 15 points. Maine shot 53 percent (20 of 38) from the field and made 11 of 19 3-pointers (57.9 percent).

“I thought our guys did a good job of executing start to finish,” Maine coach Ted Woodward said. “We’ve been doing a great job playing together.”

Penn State got to within seven points on three different occasions in the final four minutes but could get no closer.

The Nittany Lions shot 39 percent (20 of 57) from the field and made only 7 of 23 3-point attempts (30.4 percent).

Penn State (7-4) got 26 points from Talor Battle and 18 from David Jackson, but will head into Big Ten play having dropped two straight games. No other Nittany Lions player had more than six points.

“Maine just did a good job of executing and making shots,” Jackson said. “We were well-prepared for this game, we just came out a little flat.”

Battle, Penn State’s leading scorer, was taken to the hospital for X-rays immediately following the game after injuring his left hand on a dunk in the final minutes.

Maine, paced by 14 first-half points from Burnatowski, led 31-24 at halftime. Three-pointers from Mitchell and Malachi Peay keyed a 9-2 run that made it 49-37 with less than 11 minutes remaining and the Bears pushed the lead to 15 points 3 minutes later on a layup by Troy Barnies.

“I thought this team would give us a battle because they could make shots,” Penn State coach Ed DeChellis said. “Any time a team can score and make shots you’ve got to do a good job defensively, and we didn’t do that.”

DELAND, Fla. — Sasha Sims poured in 17 points and led a group of four players in double figures as Stetson snuck past the University of Maine 76-70 in the Hatter Classic on Tuesday.
