WATCH: Indiana's Jordan Geronimo Rejects Kebba Njie

Indiana junior forward Jordan Geronimo leapt above the rim to reject Kebba Njie's dunk attempt.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Penn State guard Jalen Pickett picked up his dribble in the lane, searching for a teammate.

Nittany Lions' forward Kebba Njie dove to the basket, and Pickett threw a bounce pass to the 6-foot-10 freshman. But Indiana's Jordan Geronimo had other ideas. 

Geronimo slid over with great help-side defense and leapt above the rim to reject  Njie's shot.
