The Nittany Lions (12-10, 5-6), who also led by 11 in the first half, couldn't hang on with leading rebounder Jeff Brooks sidelined because of a dislocated right shoulder. Cammeron Woodyard had a career-high 10 points starting in Brooks' place.
Morris hit five foul shots over the final 37 seconds to seal the win.
