Minnesota nips Penn St. 66-64 on Westbrook's shot

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) Lawrence Westbrook's long jumper as time expired capped a frantic final minute and Ralph Sampson III had 13 points and two key blocks late to lead Minnesota past Penn State 66-64 on Saturday.

Westbrook skipped to center court to join his jubilant teammates after his desperation shot from the left corner went in to give Minnesota (14-8, 5-5 Big Ten) just its second road victory of the season.

Talor Battle's layup with 9 seconds left after a scramble for a loose ball tied the game, sending the Jordan Center crowd into hysterics. (MORE)
