A handful of Penn State Nittany Lions basketball targets added some silverware to their collection on Sunday night.

Team Final bested Brad Beal Elite, 64-61, to claim the title at Peach Jam — the centerpiece event on the AAU calendar every year.

Dereck Lively, Jameel Brown and Otega Oweh — all key targets for new Penn State head basketball coach Micah Shrewsberry — each played their part in the victory.

In the title game, specifically, Oweh stood out. His 17 points were tied for a game-high, and he also grabbed five rebounds and came away with a pair of steals.

Lively contributed a double-double, with 13 points and 10 rebounds and added with a trio of blocks.

Brown played nine minutes off the bench in the final and didn't score, but did block two shots and pick up a steal.

Below, let's take a look at how several Penn State targets performed throughout the competition.
