Paves way for first B1G win Dilione logged 25 points (11-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one block and three steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 77-75 win over Minnesota.

Impact Dilione's 25 points matched a season-high for the junior guard, and his 11 made field goals were a season-best as his scoring outburst powered Penn State to its first Big Ten win. When Dilione takes matters into his own hands -- as in taking double-digit shots from the floor -- he's managed to be a consistent scorer. When opponents take him out of the offense, that's when he'll have quiet nights. Still, he's having a career year, averaging 13.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals.

Plays through ankle injury Dilione (ankle) racked up five points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one steal across 15 minutes during Sunday's 96-73 loss to Maryland.

Impact Dilione was previously listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup due to an ankle injury, but the 6-foot-5 junior was able to suit up against the Terrapins. He was very limited off the bench, playing just 15 minutes while scoring just five points and going 2-for-7 from the floor. He will be hoping to get back to 100 percent for Thursday's game against Wisconsin.

Warming up, not starting Dilione (ankle) is warming up but not part of the Nittany Lions' starting lineup for their upcoming game Sunday at Maryland, according to Will Horstman of The Daily Collegian.

Impact Dilione warming up indicates that him being available Sunday is possible. However, the Nittany Lions' starting lineup confirms he will be a game-time decision. In place of him, their first five includes Kayden Mingo (nose).

Questionable at Maryland Dilione (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game at Maryland, according to Daniel Gallen of 247Sports.com.

Impact Dilione sprained his ankle when Penn State most recently hosted UCLA. Since he enrolled at PSU, the Nittany Lions continually used him for all of their ensuing matchups. Dilione logged 11.1 points per game, 48 recorded and 33 starts.

Exits game Wednesday Dilione (ankle) exited Wednesday's game against UCLA with an ankle injury, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Dilione exited Wednesday's game against the Bruins early in the first half, and he was spotted later in the contest with a large wrap around his ankle. The 6-foot-5 junior finished the contest with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 1 rebound and three assists across eight minutes of action.

Puts up 17 without Mingo Dilione supplied 17 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 74-72 loss to Michigan.

Impact The Nittany Lions are going to have to look elsewhere for production with leading scorer Kayden Mingo set to miss multiple games with an undisclosed injury, and that answer was Dilione in Tuesday's surprisingly-close game. He made his third consecutive start in this contest, but he's been on a scoring tear since December, averaging 16.1 ppg over his last seven contests. Even with a tough matchup at Purdue set for Saturday, Dilione should still continue to see high usage for the foreseeable future.
