STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP)â€â€The New Jersey Institute of Technology suffered its 35th straight loss, the most of any Division I team, falling to Penn State 74-47 on Monday in the Philly Hoop Group Classic.
The Highlanders’ 35th straight defeat passed the previous NCAA Division I record for consecutive losses set by Sacramento State between Dec. 22, 1997, and Jan. 27, 1999. NJIT last won on Feb. 19, 2007, and is 5-55 since moving to Division I two seasons ago.

“Obviously, we’ve got a really young team and we’re trying to change the culture of our program,â€
