DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Andrew Funk had the shooting game of his career on Penn State’s biggest stage in more than two decades. Funk made 8 of 10 3-pointers and scored 27 points in a 76-59 win over Texas A&M for the Nittany Lions’ first NCAA Tournament victory in 22 years. Funk is in his first year at Penn State after transferring from Bucknell. He led the 10th-seeded Nittany Lions to their ninth win in their last 11 games. They next play No. 2 seed Texas in the second round of the Midwest Region on Saturday. It will be the first meeting between Penn State and Texas in men’s basketball.
