John Harrar is wrapping up his career at Penn State and played the final home of his career Sunday evening. Unfortunately, that game did not go as planned for the Nittany Lions.
Nebraska rolled with 93 points while every Huskers starter scored in double figures. Bryce McGowens led all scorers with 25 points as Nebraska won 93-70.
Harrar finished the game with 9 points and 8 rebounds and was seen visibly upset on the sidelines during one timeout. At the end of the game, Micah Shrewsberry subbed Harrar out for one final time while his big man soaked in a final curtain call at home.
It was an understandably emotional moment for Harrar:
