UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (AP) --- Freddie Dilione V had 25 points and Kayden Mingo
scored with one second left as Penn State snapped an eight-game losing streak
by extending Minnesota's skid to seven with a 77-75 victory on Sunday.
Mingo buried a 3-pointer and Dilione had the final two baskets in a 9-0 spurt
to give Penn State a 69-58 lead with 6:31 left.
Cade Tyson made four free throws, Langston Reynolds sank a pair, and Grayson
Grove tipped in a miss as the Golden Gophers used an 8-0 run to cut it to 71-70

steal into a layup for a three-point lead with 49 seconds to go.
Jaylen Crocker-Johnson had a layup and Reynolds made the first of two free
throws with 31 seconds left to tie it 75-all. Mingo ran the clock down to eight
seconds before beginning his game-winning drive to the basket.

Ten Conference play this season for the Nittany Lions (10-12, 1-10).
