Sam Sessoms - 15 points in return to starting fiveSessoms amassed 15 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 34 minutes during Sunday's 61-56 loss to Ohio State.ImpactSessoms drew the start with multiple Penn State players sidelined, though his team-high 15 points wasn't quite enough for the Nittany Lions to pull off the road upset. Still, Penn State is off to a better-than-expected 3-4 start to conference play, and Sessoms certainly deserves some of the credit with a 12.1 ppg scoring average -- good for third on the team. He's also improved his outside shooting in a big way this season, shooting 46.3 percent from distance, which is nearly 10 percentage points above his previous career best across three collegiate seasons.
