Key offensive role Funk supplied 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 65-45 loss to Rutgers. Impact While Funk's scoring average has understandably taken a hit after the fifth-year senior's move from Bucknell to a power conference, he's still been a key offensive contributor for the Nittany Lions alongside Jalen Pickett and Seth Lundy. Funk's scoring has hardly dropped off in Big Ten play, especially of late, as he's averaging 18.5 points on 51.1 percent shooting across 36.0 mpg in his last four games. On the season, the 6-5 sharpshooter has logged six 20-point games. Less volume has also lead to improved efficiency, as Funk is shooting a career-best 41.7 percent from beyond the arc.
