We are favored by 7.5 pts. Yesterday was 6.5.

Win probability at 83.8%

I saw we win by 11. Final score 69-58. Just like Kevin from the office, leaving it at 69

The Nittany Lions are a small team.
This is the easiest opponent from a strategy standpoint that we will see from here on.
Put Nance and Young out there and overwhelm Harrar. Get him in foul trouble early.
Behind Harrar they have Jalanni White, 6'8" 215lbs and Seth Lundy, 6'6" 219lbs.
If Young occupies Harrar, Nance should have a big game.

Hoping the guys are angry from giving away a golden opportunity against Michigan State and have channeled that anger into practice and apply it tonight. Especially with a gauntlet coming up of Ohio State, Maryland (I know they're down, but still), Michigan State, Wisconsin, Purdue, need to get in the win column tonight.

Every year I feel like we head into the Penn State game thinking it is must win since they are one of the lighter teams in the league, and every year it seems like they come out and stomp us.

Well.... that ends tonight!!

I hope neither team gets to the line 30 times in the game.
Well, PSU is one of the slowest-paced teams in the country, they rarely foul other teams and rarely get to the line themselves, and they don't try to force turnovers, so I'd say it's fairly likely that this will not be the foul parade that MSU was.

The keys tonight will be forcing turnovers and not letting them hit their 3's, they're 4-1 when they make 10 or more 3's and 2-4 when they make fewer. We need to focus on pressuring their shooters more even if it means Harrar gets his points. Hopefully Nance can take advantage of the slower Harrar on offense and draw him away from the paint.

Our overzealous help defense suggests they will get plenty of open three opportunities. Hopefully, their success is more like the first half for MSU rather than the second half for MSU.

My prediction is I’ll be yelling over the balcony in 206 screaming at the refs. Probably a spot on prediction.
