BAYAMON, Puerto Rico (AP) - Zeke Marshall had 17 points and six blocks, and Akron beat Penn State 85-60 in the fifth-place game at the Puerto Rico Tipoff on Sunday.

``If there is a better at-the-rim defender in the country, I haven't seen him yet,'' Akron coach Keith Dambrot said.

Carmelo Betancourt and Demetrius Treadwell had 10 points each for the Zips.

Marshall scored six points during a 13-3 run to open the second half that put Akron up for good.

``We came out with more energy. It felt like practice, honestly,'' Marshall said. ``I'm pumped for the regular season.''

Eleven of his 17 points came from the foul line. Marshall set a tournament record with 13 total blocks.

``It isn't the first time I've broke records and it won't be the last,'' Marshall said. ``I don't understand why other people can't do it. It's that easy.''

D.J. Newbill had 20 points for the Nittany Lions. Ross Travis had 11 points and 10 rebounds, but shot just 1 of 10 from the floor.
