Penn State too much for George Mason, even without leading scorer Tony Carr. Penn State played without its leading scorer Sunday, but against a George Mason team in a terrible shooting rut, the absence hardly mattered for the rising Big Ten program. The Nittany Lions toyed with the Patriots in the lane and easily compensated for suspended guard Tony Carr, roaring to a 20-point halftime lead and cruising to a 72-54 victory before 5,439 at Eagle Bank Arena in Fairfax. Forwards Lamar Stevens and Mike Watkins combined for 37 points on 14-for-25 shooting, plus 24 rebounds and four blocked shots as the Nittany Lions completed a week-long sweep of Atlantic 10 foes from the Washington area. Last week, they smashed visiting George Washington by 20 points. This outcome was put to rest early.
